MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. You need to deploy a PowerShell script that runs in the user context on a schedule. Which TWO methods can you use? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the one-time execution of Intune PowerShell scripts (option E) with the scheduled execution capability of proactive remediations, or mistakenly think a configuration profile with a scheduled task (option C) is not valid because it requires manual creation of the scheduled task XML, but it is actually a supported method for running scripts on a schedule in the user context.
