MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are responsible for deploying Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise to Windows 10 devices using Microsoft Intune. You want to ensure that users receive the Current Channel with updates delivered directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN). You also want to minimize bandwidth usage on your network. What should you configure?
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
✓
Enable delivery optimization and set the Office update channel to Current Channel.
To minimize bandwidth when deploying Office updates from the CDN, you need to enable delivery optimization with peer-to-peer distribution. This allows devices to share update content locally, reducing downloads from the internet. Setting the update channel to Current Channel ensures users receive the latest features. Therefore, option D is correct because it combines delivery optimization and the appropriate update channel. Option A is incorrect because BranchCache is not used for Office updates. Option B is incorrect because while the CDN is the default update source, it alone does not minimize bandwidth. Option C is incorrect because disabling peer-to-peer (as in disabling delivery optimization) would increase bandwidth usage.
