MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are deploying Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise using Microsoft Intune. Which TWO methods can you use to assign the application to users?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse distribution groups with security groups, assuming any group type can be used for Intune assignments, but only security groups (including Microsoft Entra ID groups) are supported for application targeting.
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
✓
Assign to a device group.
Microsoft Intune supports assigning Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise directly to device groups, which ensures the application is installed on the specified devices regardless of which user signs in. This method is useful for shared or kiosk devices where user-based assignment would not apply. Option E is correct because assigning to a Microsoft Entra ID user group is the standard method for user-based deployment, allowing the apps to be provisioned based on user identity.
