MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"appName": "Microsoft Edge",
"appVersion": "96.0.1054.62",

}
}Refer to the exhibit. You are deploying Microsoft Edge via Intune as a required app for Windows devices. Which setting ensures that any previous version of Microsoft Edge is removed before installing the new version?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse `uninstallPrevious` with `channel` or `appVersion`, assuming that specifying a version or channel alone will automatically replace older installations, but Microsoft Edge requires an explicit flag to trigger removal of prior versions.
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
✓
uninstallPrevious: true
The `uninstallPrevious` setting in the Microsoft Edge Intune deployment profile forces the removal of any existing version of Edge (e.g., Beta, Dev, or older Stable) before the new version is installed. This ensures a clean installation and prevents conflicts, which is critical when deploying Edge as a required app via Intune for Windows devices.
