MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You need to deploy a line-of-business (LOB) app to 100 Windows 10 devices managed by Intune. The app is packaged as an .msi file. Which app type should you choose in Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Line-of-business app' with 'Windows app (Win32)' because both support .msi files, but the Win32 app type requires additional packaging steps and is intended for complex installations, while LOB app is the simpler, direct upload option for enterprise internal apps.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Line-of-business app
For deploying a line-of-business (LOB) app packaged as an .msi file to Windows 10 devices managed by Intune, the correct app type is 'Line-of-business app'. This app type is specifically designed for sideloading enterprise internal apps that are not distributed via the Microsoft Store, and it supports .msi, .appx, and .appxbundle file formats. It allows direct upload of the .msi file to Intune and assigns it to users or devices without requiring complex Win32 app preparation.
