Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A company policy dictates that all corporate-owned Windows 11 devices must have a specific set of required applications installed (e.g., Microsoft Office, an internal LOB app, and a VPN client). If a user uninstalls one of these applications, Intune must automatically reinstall it. Which assignment type should be used when deploying these applications in Intune?
- AAvailable with or without enrollment
- BRequired
- CUninstall
- DAvailable for enrolled devices
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Required
The 'Required' assignment type in Intune ensures that an application is automatically installed on target devices and, importantly, remediated if it's uninstalled by the user. This meets the company's policy for mandatory applications.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This makes the app available in the Company Portal for both enrolled and unenrolled devices (if applicable). It is an optional installation.
- C. The 'Uninstall' assignment type is used to automatically remove an application from target devices, which is the opposite of the requirement.
- D. This assignment makes the app available in the Company Portal for users to install optionally. It does not enforce installation or reinstallation.
Intune Required App Assignment
An Intune application assignment type that mandates the installation of an application on target devices and automatically reinstalls it if it is removed by the user or other means.
- Ensures compliance with mandatory application policies.
- Automatically installs applications without user intervention.
- Actively remediates non-compliance by reinstalling uninstalled apps.
Memory trick: Required Apps: Install, Enforce, Reinstall.
