MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Your organization needs to deploy a web app link to users' devices via Microsoft Intune. Which app type should you select?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse a Web link app with a full application deployment, thinking they need to select a platform-specific app type (like Win32 or iOS store app) even when the requirement is simply to provide a URL shortcut.
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
✓
Web link
C is correct because a Web link app type in Microsoft Intune allows you to deploy a shortcut to a web app on users' devices without installing any software. This is ideal for linking to a web app that runs in a browser, as it simply places an icon on the device's app list or home screen that opens the specified URL.
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 app (Win32)
Why it's wrong here
Windows app (Win32) packages install executable software via the Intune Management Extension, not a URL shortcut. A web link needs the Web link app type, which simply pins a browser shortcut. It is tempting because Win32 is the standard Windows deployment route, but it cannot deliver a web address.
- ✗
iOS store app
Why it's wrong here
Intune's iOS store app type deploys apps to Apple devices through the App Store, so it cannot deliver a web app link to Windows or Android endpoints. It is tempting because it is the correct choice when assigning a native iOS application from the store to enrolled iPhones and iPads.
- ✓
Web link
Why this is correct
A web link in Microsoft Intune deploys a shortcut to a browser-based app, satisfying the requirement to publish a web app link to users' devices. It creates a URL shortcut on managed devices without packaging or installing application binaries, unlike line-of-business or store apps, which require actual installable content.
- ✗
Managed Google Play app
Why it's wrong here
Managed Google Play apps are Android applications delivered through the Play Store, not web links. A web link requires the Web link app type, which creates a shortcut to a URL. It is tempting because Managed Google Play handles Android deployment, but it cannot publish an arbitrary web address.
