MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 11 devices. You need to deploy a Microsoft Store app (new) to a set of users, and the app must be installed automatically without requiring them to visit the Company Portal. Which assignment intent should you choose for the user group?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Available with Required, since both deliver the app but only Required installs it without user action.
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
✓
Required
Required is the assignment intent that makes Intune install an app automatically for the targeted users or devices. Because the app must install without the user opening the Company Portal, Available intent is unsuitable, and Uninstall would remove rather than add the app. Required on the user group produces the silent automatic installation described.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Available for enrolled devices
Why it's wrong here
Available intent publishes the app in the Company Portal and waits for the user to choose to install it. That contradicts the requirement that the app install automatically without the user visiting the Company Portal. Available is appropriate when you want to offer an optional app, not when you need silent, automatic installation for a group.
- ✓
Required
Why this is correct
Required intent tells Intune to install the app automatically on targeted devices or for targeted users without any action in the Company Portal. For a Microsoft Store app (new) assigned to a user group, Required delivers the app silently to those users' enrolled devices, matching the automatic-install requirement.
- ✗
Available for enrolled devices with a deadline
Why it's wrong here
Deadlines apply to Required deployments to enforce installation by a certain time; they are not a property of Available assignments. Available still requires the user to start the installation from the Company Portal, so adding a deadline concept does not produce automatic installation. This option misstates how assignment intents and deadlines interact.
- ✗
Uninstall
Why it's wrong here
The Uninstall intent removes an app that was previously deployed; it does not deliver a new app to users. Selecting it here would attempt to strip the Store app from devices rather than install it. Uninstall is used to reverse a deployment, so it cannot satisfy a requirement to install automatically.
