MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

```
Get-IntuneWin32App -Name "CompanyPortal" | Select-Object -Property Name, InstallExperience, DeviceRestartBehavior, DetectionRules
```

Output:
Name          : CompanyPortal
InstallExperience : system
DeviceRestartBehavior : allow
DetectionRules : @{ruleType=manual; detectionType=file; path=C:\Program Files\CompanyPortal; fileOrFolderName=CompanyPortal.exe; check32BitOn64System=False}

You run the above PowerShell command. The app is installed on a device, but the detection rule checks for CompanyPortal.exe in C:\Program Files. The app installs to C:\Program Files (x86) due to a 32-bit installer. What is the most likely outcome?

⚠ Common exam trap

Test-takers frequently assume Intune's detection logic is intelligent enough to follow Windows file system redirection, when in fact it strictly checks the exact path provided, leading to a detection failure despite a successful installation.

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

✓

Intune repeatedly tries to install the app because it is not detected

Intune's detection rule is configured to check for CompanyPortal.exe in C:\Program Files. Since the 32-bit installer places the file in C:\Program Files (x86), the detection rule will not find it. Intune will then consider the app as not installed and will repeatedly attempt to reinstall it, leading to a loop of installation attempts.
