MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
An organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices. They want to deploy a Win32 app that requires admin rights to install. The app must be installed in the system context and should not require user interaction. Which installation behavior should be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'Install behavior: User' with the ability to install apps requiring admin rights, not realizing that only the System context can elevate privileges silently without user prompts.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Install behavior: System, Installation purpose: Required, Device restart behavior: No specific action, Installation visibility: Hidden
Deploying a Win32 app that requires admin rights and must run without user interaction in the system context requires setting the install behavior to 'System' and the installation purpose to 'Required'. The 'Hidden' installation visibility ensures the installation runs silently in the background, with no user prompts or interaction, which is essential for a non-interactive system-context deployment.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Install behavior: User, Installation purpose: Required, Device restart behavior: No specific action
Why it's wrong here
User context does not grant admin rights.
- ✓
Install behavior: System, Installation purpose: Required, Device restart behavior: No specific action, Installation visibility: Hidden
Why this is correct
System context ensures admin rights, Hidden prevents user interaction, and Required ensures installation.
- ✗
Install behavior: User, Installation purpose: Available
Why it's wrong here
User context installs under the user account, not system, and may not have admin rights.
- ✗
Install behavior: System, Installation purpose: Required, Device restart behavior: Immediately
Why it's wrong here
While System context is correct, Visible installation may show prompts and require interaction.
