Refer to the exhibit. You deploy this ARM template to create an Intune configuration policy for macOS devices. The policy sets the 'com.apple.ManagedClient.appstore' setting to true. What is the expected behavior on the target macOS devices?

⚠ Common exam trap

Microsoft often tests the misconception that a single boolean key controls multiple App Store behaviors (like updates or ABM restrictions), when in fact each behavior has its own distinct key in the macOS Restrictions payload.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Users will be allowed to install apps from the App Store.

Setting 'com.apple.ManagedClient.appstore' to true in an Intune macOS configuration policy explicitly allows users to install apps from the App Store. This key controls the 'allow app store app installation' restriction; when true, the restriction is disabled, meaning users can install apps from the App Store. The policy does not affect automatic updates or restrict installation to only Apple Business Manager purchases.
