MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
An organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 11 devices. They want to deploy a custom script that runs during device provisioning (ESP – Enrollment Status Page). Which app type should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse 'PowerShell scripts (Device configuration)' with 'Proactive remediations' or 'Win32 apps,' assuming any script can run during ESP, but only the specific PowerShell script deployment type is designed to execute synchronously within the provisioning flow.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
PowerShell script (Device configuration)
PowerShell scripts (Device configuration) are the correct choice because they can be assigned to run during the Enrollment Status Page (ESP) phase of Windows 11 provisioning. Unlike Win32 or LOB apps, PowerShell scripts are executed by the Intune Management Extension before the ESP completes, allowing custom actions like registry modifications or file creation to occur during the critical 'Device setup' stage. This ensures the script runs synchronously with ESP, blocking the provisioning process until completion.
