Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Easy
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a custom configuration profile to a group of Windows 11 devices using Microsoft Intune. This configuration is not available through standard Intune settings templates. The administrator has identified the correct OMA-URI string, data type, and value for the setting. Which profile type should the administrator create in Intune?
- AAdministrative Templates
- BSettings catalog
- CDevice restrictions
- DCustom
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Custom
A 'Custom' configuration profile in Intune is specifically designed for deploying settings using OMA-URI (Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier) when a native Intune template or setting is not available. This directly matches the scenario's requirements.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Administrative Templates are for deploying ADMX-backed settings, which are typically available through the settings catalog or specific templates, not raw OMA-URI.
- B. The Settings catalog provides a vast collection of settings, but if a setting is truly custom and only known via OMA-URI, the custom profile is needed.
- C. Device restrictions are a specific template for common device security and experience settings, not for arbitrary custom OMA-URI configurations.
Intune Custom Configuration Profile
A type of device configuration profile in Microsoft Intune that allows administrators to deploy settings using OMA-URI (Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier) for settings not available in standard templates.
- Uses OMA-URI for custom settings.
- Supports various data types (string, integer, boolean).
- Provides flexibility for niche configurations.
Memory trick: When standard templates don't fit, a Custom profile is your special tool.
