MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You need to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps to Windows devices using Microsoft Intune. The deployment must be available to users in the company portal. Which app type should you select?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently choose 'Windows app (Win32)' because they think any desktop app must be deployed as a Win32 app, overlooking the dedicated Microsoft 365 Apps app type that provides built-in ODT integration and automatic update management.
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 10/11 (Microsoft 365 Apps)
The 'Windows 10/11 (Microsoft 365 Apps)' app type in Intune is specifically designed to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps (formerly Office 365 ProPlus) with built-in support for the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) and XML configuration. This app type automatically handles the installation, updates, and licensing via the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise channel, and it appears in the Company Portal for user-initiated installation. Other app types lack the native integration for Microsoft 365 Apps deployment or do not support user-visible installation in the Company Portal.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Windows 10/11 (Microsoft 365 Apps)
Why this is correct
The Windows 10/11 (Microsoft 365 Apps) app type uses the Microsoft 365 Apps deployment pipeline, packaging the suite as a required or available install. Marking it available publishes it in the Company Portal for user-initiated installation.
- ✗
Microsoft 365 (Web link)
Why it's wrong here
A web link only publishes a URL in the company portal; it cannot install or manage Microsoft 365 Apps on devices, so no deployment occurs. It is tempting because web links are the correct app type when you merely want to surface an existing web application to users.
- ✗
Microsoft Store app (new)
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Store app (new) packages apps from the Microsoft Store catalogue, so it cannot deliver Microsoft 365 Apps, which Intune deploys as a Windows app (Microsoft 365 Apps) or Win32 package. It is tempting because it suits store-distributed consumer apps with automatic updates, but the company portal requirement here concerns Microsoft 365 Apps specifically.
- ✗
Windows app (Win32)
Why it's wrong here
Win32 packaging suits line-of-business apps requiring custom installers, detection rules and uninstall commands; Microsoft 365 Apps is delivered as a native Intune app type with built-in update channels. Win32 would work but adds unnecessary packaging overhead for a first-party suite.
