MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You need to enable users to install company apps from a private store on their iOS devices. Which Microsoft Intune feature should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the Company Portal app (the user-facing installation interface) with the underlying licensing and distribution mechanism (VPP) that actually enables the private store functionality.

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
✓
Volume Purchase Program (VPP)
The Volume Purchase Program (VPP) is the correct feature because it allows organizations to purchase app licenses in bulk from Apple and distribute them to users' iOS devices through a private store. By integrating VPP with Microsoft Intune, you can assign licensed apps to users or devices, enabling them to install company-approved apps from a private store without requiring an Apple ID or personal payment.
