MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You are deploying a line-of-business (LOB) app to iOS devices managed by Intune. The app requires a specific configuration to access internal resources. Which approach should you use to deliver the configuration?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse App Configuration Policies (which deliver app-specific settings) with App Protection Policies (which enforce data protection), leading them to select Option C incorrectly.
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
✓
Create an App Configuration Policy targeting managed devices
An App Configuration Policy targeting managed devices is the correct approach because it allows you to supply XML or JSON settings directly to the LOB app on iOS devices enrolled in Intune. This policy is applied when the app runs, enabling it to access internal resources without requiring a separate device profile or user interaction.
