MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You need to deploy a line-of-business app to 100 Windows 10 devices that are managed by Microsoft Intune. The app installer is a .msi file. Which app type should you select when adding the app in Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse 'Line-of-business' (which only supports .appx/.msix) with Win32 apps, assuming any custom app qualifies as line-of-business, but Intune requires the Win32 app type for .msi files.
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
✓
Windows app (Win32)
D is correct because Win32 app management in Intune supports deploying traditional desktop applications, including .msi files, to Windows 10 devices. Win32 apps can be assigned to devices managed by Intune and allow for complex installation commands, detection rules, and dependencies, making them suitable for line-of-business apps that require full control over the installation process.
