MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You manage devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to deploy a line-of-business (LOB) app that is signed with a certificate not trusted by the devices. The app requires installation in the system context. Which deployment method should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume 'LOB app' must use the Intune LOB app type (MSI/APPX), but the requirement for system context and untrusted certificate forces the use of the Win32 app type, which provides the flexibility to handle certificate trust via scripting.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Win32 app
Win32 apps in Microsoft Intune support installation in the system context via the 'Install behavior' setting, and they can be deployed using a custom installation script that handles certificate trust issues (e.g., by installing the signing certificate first or using a silent install switch). This method also allows the app to run with elevated privileges, which is required for system-context installation, and does not depend on the device trusting the app's signing certificate at deployment time.
