MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are planning to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps to Windows devices using Microsoft Intune. Which TWO methods can you use to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the 'Web link' app type with a valid deployment method, thinking it will trigger an installation, when in fact it only provides a browser shortcut to the Office website without any local installation.
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
✓
Windows Installer (Win32) app type using the Office Deployment Tool.
Option B is correct because you can package Microsoft 365 Apps as a Windows Installer (Win32) app in Intune by using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) to generate the setup.exe and Configuration.xml, then wrap it with the Intune Win32 Content Prep Tool for deployment. Option E is correct because Intune provides a dedicated built-in app type called 'Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows' (the Microsoft 365 Apps app type) that lets you select Office apps, update channel, and architecture directly without packaging. Option A is incorrect because the Android store app type deploys Android apps, not Windows Office apps. Option C is incorrect because a web link app type only creates a shortcut to a URL and does not install Microsoft 365 Apps. Option D is incorrect because the iOS store app type targets iOS devices, not Windows.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Android store app type.
Why it's wrong here
Android store app type targets Android devices, so it cannot install Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows. It is used to deploy Play Store apps to Android Enterprise devices. Windows deployment requires the Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type or a Win32 app package.
- ✓
Windows Installer (Win32) app type using the Office Deployment Tool.
Why this is correct
Packaging Microsoft 365 Apps as a Win32 app lets Intune run the Office Deployment Tool's setup.exe with a custom configuration XML, controlling which products, languages and update channels install. This satisfies the stem's Intune deployment requirement, since the Office Deployment Tool cannot be delivered through the Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type.
- ✗
Web link app type pointing to the Office website.
Why it's wrong here
A web link app type only opens a URL in the browser; it cannot install Microsoft 365 Apps binaries on Windows. It suits publishing a shortcut to a web portal. Intune deploys Microsoft 365 Apps natively via the Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type or as a Win32 app.
- ✗
iOS store app type.
Why it's wrong here
iOS store app type targets iOS/iPadOS devices and cannot install Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows endpoints. It is intended for App Store apps on Apple mobile devices. Windows deployment needs the Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type or a Win32 app.
- ✓
Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows app type in Intune.
Why this is correct
The Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows app type is purpose-built for this deployment, letting you configure the Office suite, select channels and apps, and assign it to device or user groups. It satisfies the stem's Intune-based requirement directly, unlike imaging or manual installation, and supports the Office Click-to-Run installer natively.
