MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Exhibit

"displayName": "Win32 App Deployment",
"installExperience": "system",
"deviceRestartBehavior": "suppress",
"returnCodes": [
{"returnCode": 0, "type": "success"},
{"returnCode": 1641, "type": "success"},
{"returnCode": 3010, "type": "softReboot"}
]
}Refer to the exhibit. An Intune administrator configured a Win32 app with the settings shown. What is the expected behavior when the app installation exits with return code 3010?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse return code 3010 with a failure code, assuming any non-zero exit code means the installation failed, but Intune specifically treats 3010 as a success with a pending reboot, not an error.

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
✓
The device may restart after installation outside of active hours
Return code 3010 is a standard Windows Installer code indicating a reboot is required. In Intune, a Win32 app that exits with 3010 is treated as a successful installation, but the device may be restarted outside of active hours to apply changes. This behavior aligns with the 'Device restart behavior' setting configured in the app's properties, which defers the restart to a maintenance window.
