What this domain covers

What to know about Manage applications

Be able to create and assign Win32, Store, and Microsoft 365 Apps deployments, choose required versus available, and build working detection and requirement rules. The single most important thing: match the detection rule to what the installer actually leaves on the device.

Win32 app deployment using .intunewin packages, install/uninstall commands, detection rules, and requirement rules

App assignment types (required, available, uninstall) and targeting to users versus devices

App protection policies (MAM) and app configuration policies for managed and unmanaged devices

Kiosk and single-app modes via device configuration profiles, plus Company Portal self-service installation

Watch out for

Common Manage applications exam traps

  • ▸Assuming an available app appears automatically; users must install it from the Company Portal, and required apps install without user action.
  • ▸Mixing up app protection policies with device configuration profiles, or applying MAM policies to devices that are not enrolled.
  • ▸Writing detection rules that never match the installed app, so Intune reports success or nothing instead of reinstalling.
