MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You are the Intune administrator for a company that uses Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for identity. You have a line-of-business (LOB) iOS app that is distributed via Intune using volume purchase program (VPP) tokens. The app requires a configuration policy to set the server URL. You have assigned the app as 'Required' to all users in the 'Sales' group. Some users report that the app does not show the configured server URL.
You verify that the app configuration policy is assigned to the same 'Sales' group. The app installs successfully. You check the Intune console and see that the app configuration policy has a status of 'Pending' for some devices. The devices are company-owned iPhones running iOS 16.
What is the most likely cause of the configuration not applying?
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
✓
The devices are not supervised
App configuration policies for iOS devices require the device to be supervised, especially when using VPP tokens. The 'Pending' status indicates the policy has not been applied because the devices are not supervised. Option A is wrong because the app installs successfully, indicating iOS version compatibility. Option B is wrong because the policy is assigned to the same group, but supervision is still required. Option D is wrong because the app is deployed via VPP correctly; the issue is with configuration policy enforcement, not VPP deployment.
