MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You manage a fleet of Windows 10 devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to deploy a Win32 app that has a complex installation requiring multiple command-line parameters. The app must be available to users in the Company Portal. What is the best way to handle the installation parameters?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often think a PowerShell script is needed for complex parameters, but Intune's Win32 app packaging directly supports any command-line string, making the script unnecessary and less efficient.
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
✓
Use the Intune Win32 app packaging to specify the installation command with parameters.
Intune's Win32 app packaging allows you to specify the full installation command, including complex parameters, directly in the 'Install command' field. This method ensures the installer runs with the exact parameters needed, and the app is then published to the Company Portal for user self-service. PowerShell scripts or detection rules do not handle the installation parameters themselves, and administrative templates are for configuring settings, not installation commands.
