Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage identity and compliance (10-15%)Hard
A user reports that their corporate-owned Android device, enrolled in Intune as a Fully Managed device, is not receiving company-specific applications deployed through Intune. You verify that the apps are assigned to the correct user group and the device is compliant. Which critical component on the Android device is responsible for receiving and installing these applications and should be checked first?
- AGoogle Play Store app
- BMicrosoft Edge browser
- CCompany Portal app
- DManaged Google Play store
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Managed Google Play store
For Android Enterprise Fully Managed devices, applications are deployed and managed through the Managed Google Play store. This is the dedicated app store for corporate apps on these device types, not the regular Google Play Store or the Company Portal (which is used for enrollment and some app deployments on other Android types).
Why the other options are wrong
- A. The regular Google Play Store is for personal apps. Managed Google Play is used for corporate-managed devices.
- B. Microsoft Edge is a browser and has no role in app deployment.
- C. The Company Portal app is primarily for enrollment and access to company resources on BYOD or Android Enterprise Work Profile devices, but for Fully Managed devices, app deployment is via Managed Google Play.
Managed Google Play
A customized version of the Google Play Store for Android Enterprise deployments, used by IT administrators to approve, distribute, and manage applications for corporate-managed Android devices.
- Integrates with Intune for app management on Android Enterprise devices.
- IT admins approve apps before they are available to users/devices.
- Used for both public apps and private line-of-business (LOB) apps.
Memory trick: Managed Google Play, for corporate apps, saves the day.
