MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Which THREE factors can cause a required app deployment to fail on a Windows 10 device managed by Intune? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'app update policy' (which controls updates) with 'app deployment policy' (which controls initial installation), leading them to incorrectly select Option A as a cause of deployment failure.
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
✓
The device is not connected to the internet.
Intune requires a device to have internet connectivity to communicate with the Microsoft Intune service and download required app deployments. Without internet access, the Intune Management Extension cannot retrieve the app assignment policy or download the application content from the cloud, causing the deployment to fail.
