MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You need to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps to 200 Windows devices using Intune. Which app type should you select in Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the 'Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows' app type with the 'Windows app (MSI)' or 'Line-of-business app' types, mistakenly thinking they can upload an Office installer manually, but Intune requires the dedicated app type to properly handle the Click-to-Run installation and licensing integration.

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
✓
Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows
The Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows app type in Intune is specifically designed to deploy the Microsoft 365 Apps suite (e.g., Word, Excel, Outlook) to Windows devices. It provides built-in configuration options for update channels, removal of previous Office versions, and license assignment, making it the correct choice for deploying Microsoft 365 Apps to 200 devices. Other app types lack the integrated logic to handle the suite's installation, activation, and update management.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows
Why this is correct
The Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows app type is purpose-built for deploying Office to Windows devices through Intune, delivering the Click-to-Run package with update channel and configuration control. It satisfies the 200-device Windows deployment requirement without packaging the installer manually.
- ✗
Web link
Why it's wrong here
A web link app type only publishes a shortcut to a URL and installs nothing on the device, so it cannot deploy Microsoft 365 Apps. It is tempting because it delivers applications through Intune, and would be correct for publishing a browser-based resource rather than installing desktop software.
- ✗
Windows app (MSI)
Why it's wrong here
Windows app (MSI) packages a single installer, so it cannot deliver the Office suite's multiple components, languages, or update channels that Microsoft 365 Apps requires. It suits line-of-business MSI deployment instead. Microsoft 365 Apps needs the dedicated Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type, which handles Click-to-Run configuration.
- ✗
Line-of-business app
Why it's wrong here
Line-of-business apps package custom or third-party MSI, MSIX or appx files for your organisation, so they cannot deliver Microsoft 365 Apps, which Intune provisions as a Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10 and later) app type with built-in update channels. Choose line-of-business when deploying an internally developed installer not available in the Microsoft Store.
