- A
Install command: 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File AcceptEULA.ps1 && AppDeploy.exe /S', Detection rule: File 'C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe' exists, Retry: 3 attempts every 60 minutes
Chains EULA acceptance and silent install; retry configured.
- B
Install command: 'AppDeploy.exe /S', Detection rule: Registry 'HKLM\Software\AppDeploy\Installed' exists, Retry: 3 attempts every 60 minutes
Why wrong: No EULA acceptance; registry detection may not be reliable.
- C
Install command: 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File AcceptEULA.ps1', Detection rule: File 'C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe' exists, Retry: None
Why wrong: Script only accepts EULA; does not install app; no retry.
- D
Install command: 'AppDeploy.exe /S', Detection rule: File 'C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe' exists, Retry: None
Why wrong: No EULA acceptance; no retry.
Quick Answer
The answer is Option B, which configures the install command as 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File AcceptEULA.ps1 && AppDeploy.exe /S', a file-based detection rule for C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe, and a retry setting of 3 attempts every 60 minutes. This is correct because the double ampersand (&&) operator chains commands sequentially, ensuring the PowerShell script silently accepts the EULA before the installer runs with the /S silent switch, while the file detection rule directly verifies the installed product’s presence. On the MD-102 exam, this scenario tests your ability to handle silent deployments with prerequisite scripts and configure Intune’s retry logic for resilience—a common trap is choosing a registry-based detection rule when the app only writes a file, or omitting the EULA acceptance step entirely. Remember the mnemonic “Script, File, Retry” to recall the three critical elements: a custom install command that chains actions, a file-based detection rule for reliability, and explicit retry settings to handle transient failures.
MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage applications. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your organization has 500 Windows 11 devices managed by Microsoft Intune. You need to deploy a third-party Win32 application (AppDeploy.exe) that requires the user to accept an end-user license agreement (EULA) during installation. The app must be installed silently without user interaction. You have created a custom script that accepts the EULA automatically. The app is packaged as an .intunewin file. You need to configure the deployment in Intune.
The installation command must run the script that accepts the EULA and then launches the installer. The detection rule must check for the presence of a specific file (C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe). You want to ensure that if the installation fails, Intune retries automatically.
Which of the following configurations should you choose?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Install command: 'powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File AcceptEULA.ps1 && AppDeploy.exe /S', Detection rule: File 'C:\Program Files\AppDeploy\app.exe' exists, Retry: 3 attempts every 60 minutes
Option B is correct. Using a PowerShell script as the install command allows you to chain commands: first accept EULA, then run setup. The detection rule uses file existence. Setting 'Retry count' to 3 and 'Retry interval' to 60 minutes provides automatic retry. Option A is wrong because it does not include the EULA acceptance. Option C is wrong because the detection rule checks registry instead of file, which may not be reliable. Option D is wrong because it does not include retry settings.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
