Question 651 of 942
MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You need to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps to 500 Windows 10 devices managed by Intune. The deployment must be automatic and should not require user interaction. What is the best method?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) with the line-of-business (LOB) app method, not realizing that LOB apps cannot handle the multi-file ODT package and require a single installer file, making Win32 app the only viable Intune-native option for silent, automated Office deployment.
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
✓
Create a Win32 app in Intune with the installation command for Microsoft 365 Apps.
Creating a Win32 app in Intune allows you to use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) with a custom configuration.xml to install Microsoft 365 Apps silently. This method supports automatic, unattended deployment to 500 Windows 10 devices managed by Intune, as Win32 apps can be assigned with required intent and run in system context without user interaction.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a Configuration Manager application and deploy to the devices.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration Manager is a separate product; Intune can manage the deployment directly.
- ✗
Use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) to create a package and deploy via Intune as a line-of-business (LOB) app.
Why it's wrong here
Deploying an ODT package as a generic line-of-business (LOB) app in Intune is not the best method for Microsoft 365 Apps. Intune provides a dedicated "Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows 10" app type that natively integrates ODT configuration, automating the deployment process without requiring manual packaging into a `.intunewin` file. While ODT is the correct tool for customising Microsoft 365 Apps installations, and LOB apps are suitable for custom installers of other proprietary applications, this option bypasses Intune's built-in, streamlined solution for M365 Apps.
- ✓
Create a Win32 app in Intune with the installation command for Microsoft 365 Apps.
Why this is correct
Win32 apps allow silent deployment and can be assigned to devices.
- ✗
Assign the Microsoft 365 Apps from the Microsoft Store for Business.
Why it's wrong here
The Store for Business is being deprecated and does not provide the same control as Intune.
