Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a critical security application to all corporate-owned Windows 11 devices. This application requires specific pre-installation checks, custom installation parameters, and post-installation scripts for configuration. Which Intune app deployment type is best suited for this scenario?
- ALine-of-business (LOB) app
- BWin32 app
- CMicrosoft Store app (new)
- DWeb link
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Win32 app
Win32 apps in Intune provide the most flexibility for complex deployments, allowing for custom installation commands, detection rules, and pre/post-installation scripts. This is ideal for applications requiring specific checks and configurations.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. LOB apps are typically for single-file installers (.msi, .appx) and lack the extensive pre/post-scripting and detection capabilities of Win32 apps.
- C. Microsoft Store apps are for simple deployments of public or private store applications, lacking custom scripting capabilities.
- D. Web links are merely shortcuts to web pages or applications, not actual software deployments.
