A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a custom application to macOS devices. The application is packaged as a standard .DMG file. The administrator wants to use Microsoft Intune to deploy this application. Which application type should the administrator select in Intune to deploy the .DMG file?
- AmacOS LOB app (DMG)
- BmacOS app (PKG)
- CWeb link
- DMicrosoft 365 Apps for macOS
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. macOS LOB app (DMG)
For custom macOS applications packaged as .DMG files, Intune provides the 'macOS LOB app (DMG)' application type. This is specifically designed for deploying disk image files directly. The other options are for different package types or pre-built Microsoft apps.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. This type is used for installer packages (.PKG files), not disk image (.DMG) files.
- C. A web link is used to provide shortcuts to web pages, not to deploy installable applications.
- D. This type is for deploying Microsoft Office applications, not custom .DMG files.
Intune macOS LOB App (DMG)
A Microsoft Intune application type used to deploy custom Line-of-Business (LOB) applications to macOS devices when the application is packaged as a .DMG (Disk Image) file.
- Specifically for macOS applications packaged as .DMG files.
- Allows deployment of custom, in-house, or third-party applications.
- Intune handles mounting the DMG and copying the application to the Applications folder.
Memory trick: Match the Apple package to the Intune type.
