MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You deploy a Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise suite via Intune to Windows devices. Users report that updates are not being applied automatically. You need to ensure that updates are installed from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) without user intervention. What should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Windows Update for Business with Office update management, not realizing that Office 365 Apps have their own independent update mechanism (Click-to-Run) that must be configured separately via Office-specific policies, not through Windows Update policies.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the Office update channel via an Intune administrative template (ADMX).
Configuring the Office update channel via an Intune administrative template (ADMX) directly sets the registry policy that controls which update channel (e.g., Monthly Enterprise) Office 365 Apps use, and by default, those updates are delivered from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) without user intervention. This policy ensures updates are applied automatically in the background, meeting the requirement for no user interaction.
