MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android enterprise devices. You need to ensure that only approved apps from the managed Google Play store can be installed on work profiles. Which configuration should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse compliance policies (which enforce device-level settings like unknown sources) with app configuration policies (which manage app-specific settings) or conditional access (which controls resource access), leading them to select options that do not directly control app installation sources.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure a device compliance policy that requires 'Allow installation from unknown sources' to be disabled
A device compliance policy that requires 'Allow installation from unknown sources' to be disabled ensures that only apps from the managed Google Play store can be installed on Android Enterprise work profiles. This setting prevents side-loading of apps from untrusted sources, which is the primary mechanism to enforce app approval in a managed environment. Intune compliance policies evaluate this setting and can trigger conditional access or mark devices as non-compliant if unknown sources are enabled.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure a device compliance policy that requires 'Allow installation from unknown sources' to be disabled
Why this is correct
Disabling unknown sources restricts installation to managed Google Play.
- ✗
Use a conditional access policy to block unapproved apps
Why it's wrong here
Conditional access controls access to cloud apps, not app installation.
- ✗
Create an app configuration policy that blocks side-loading
Why it's wrong here
App configuration policies apply to specific apps, not general installation sources.
- ✗
Assign a device restriction policy that sets 'Allow all apps' to false
Why it's wrong here
'Allow all apps' is not a valid setting in Intune for Android.
