MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Your organization uses Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. You have deployed a Win32 app named 'FinanceApp' with a detection rule that checks for the existence of a registry key. After deployment, you find that the app is not being detected on some devices, causing Intune to attempt reinstallation. You suspect the detection rule is incorrect.
You need to update the detection rule for the app without redeploying the entire app. You edit the app properties in Intune and modify the detection rule. However, after saving, the existing assignments still use the old detection rule.
What should you do to apply the updated detection rule to existing devices?
Answer choices

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Increment the app version in the app properties
After modifying the detection rule, you must increment the app version number in the app properties. This forces the Intune management extension on existing devices to re-evaluate the detection rule and apply the updated logic. Options B, C, and D are unnecessary and overly disruptive.
