MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You manage Windows 10 devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to deploy a PowerShell script that runs in the user context to configure user settings. What type of script should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse 'discovery script' or 'remediation script' (which are part of proactive remediations) with the general-purpose PowerShell script deployment feature, leading them to pick a wrong answer when the question simply asks for a script to configure user settings.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A PowerShell script deployed via Intune Management Extension.
The Intune Management Extension (IME) is the component that handles PowerShell script execution on Windows 10 devices managed by Intune. When you deploy a PowerShell script via Intune, it is automatically executed by the IME, and you can choose to run it in the user context (as the logged-on user) or the system context. This is the correct mechanism for deploying a user-context PowerShell script to configure user settings.
