MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You need to deploy a PowerShell script that runs every time a user logs in to a Windows 10 device. The script must run with administrative privileges. Which deployment approach should you use?
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
✓
Use Intune PowerShell scripts targeting the user, with a scheduled task triggered by logon.
Intune PowerShell scripts can be deployed to users and configured to run as the logged-on user. To run with administrative privileges and on every logon, a scheduled task triggered by logon can be created that runs the script with elevated rights. Option A is incorrect because deploying a PowerShell script as a Win32 app typically runs once per assigned device, not on every user logon. Option B is incorrect because proactive remediations run on a schedule (e.g., daily) and can detect/fix issues but are not triggered by user logon events. Option D is incorrect because custom compliance policies evaluate device settings for compliance and do not execute scripts on login.

Package the script as a Win32 app and assign it as required.
Why it's wrong here
Win32 apps install once, not on every logon.

- ✓
Use Intune PowerShell scripts targeting the user, with a scheduled task triggered by logon.
Why this is correct
Intune PowerShell scripts can run in user context; a scheduled task triggered at logon can elevate privileges.

Why it's wrong here
Custom compliance policies evaluate compliance, not run scripts on logon.
