MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Network Topology
You are reviewing the Intune Win32 app configuration for Microsoft Edge. The app is deployed to Windows 10 devices. Users report that Edge is not being installed on some devices. What is the most likely issue with the detection rule?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse detection rule failures with installation command issues, but the question's phrasing 'not being installed on some devices' points to a version mismatch scenario where the detection rule is too strict, not a universal install failure.

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 detection rule requires an exact version match, which may not match if a different version is installed.
The most likely issue is that the detection rule is configured to require an exact version match. If a device already has a different version of Microsoft Edge installed (e.g., a newer or older build), Intune will evaluate the detection rule as 'not detected' and attempt to reinstall the app, which may fail or be skipped because the installer detects an existing version. This is a common misconfiguration in Win32 app deployments where version-specific detection rules cause false negatives.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The uninstall command is incorrect.
Why it's wrong here
Uninstall command is not related to detection.
- ✓
The detection rule requires an exact version match, which may not match if a different version is installed.
Why this is correct
Exact version detection can cause false negatives if versions differ.
- ✗
The install command is missing the --silent flag.
Why it's wrong here
The install command includes --silent.
- ✗
The detection rule is checking the 32-bit registry on a 64-bit system.
Why it's wrong here
check32BitOn64System is false, so it checks the correct 64-bit registry.
