MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage macOS devices. You need to deploy a company portal app that allows users to enroll their devices. Which app type should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the 'iOS and macOS store app' type with the 'Built-in app' type, thinking Company Portal is a built-in system app, when in fact it must be downloaded from the App Store and managed as a store app.
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
✓
iOS and macOS store app
The Company Portal app for macOS is available in the Apple App Store and is distributed via Intune as an iOS and macOS store app. This app type allows Intune to manage the app installation and assignment from the store, enabling users to enroll their macOS devices into management. Built-in apps are for pre-installed system apps, web links are for shortcuts, and LOB apps are for custom in-house apps, none of which provide the required enrollment functionality.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Built-in app
Why it's wrong here
Built-in app types cover first-party titles such as Microsoft 365 or Edge, not the Company Portal enrolment agent for macOS. It tempts because built-in apps require no packaging or upload, making them the right selection when deploying a supported Microsoft first-party application to managed devices.
- ✓
iOS and macOS store app
Why this is correct
The iOS and macOS store app type deploys the Company Portal from the Apple App Store, which users need to enrol macOS devices into Intune. It satisfies the enrolment requirement because Company Portal is the agent that initiates macOS enrolment.
- ✗
Web link
Why it's wrong here
A web link merely opens a URL in the browser and installs nothing, so it cannot deliver the Intune Company Portal enrolment agent. It tempts when publishing a shortcut to a web-based resource, which is the scenario where a web link app type is the right choice.
- ✗
macOS LOB app
Why it's wrong here
A macOS LOB app deploys a signed .pkg or .dmg you supply yourself; the Company Portal installer is already provided by Intune, so packaging it is unnecessary. It tempts for distributing in-house macOS software not available in the store, which is when LOB is correct.
