Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a custom configuration to a specific group of Windows 11 devices. This configuration involves a unique registry key setting that is not available through standard Intune templates or settings catalogs. The administrator has the OMA-URI string for this registry key. Which Intune profile type should be used?
- ASettings catalog profile
- BAdministrative Templates profile
- CCustom configuration profile
- DDevice restrictions profile
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Custom configuration profile
When a specific configuration is not available in standard Intune templates or the settings catalog, and the OMA-URI string is known, a Custom configuration profile is the appropriate choice to deploy that setting.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Settings catalog profiles contain a wide range of settings but may not include every possible custom OMA-URI.
- B. Administrative Templates profiles are primarily for configuring ADMX-backed settings, not arbitrary OMA-URI strings.
- D. Device restrictions profiles focus on security and functional restrictions, not arbitrary custom registry settings.
Intune Custom Configuration Profile (OMA-URI)
An Intune profile type that allows administrators to deploy custom settings to devices by specifying an OMA-URI (Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier) and its corresponding value.
- Used for settings not available in standard templates or settings catalog.
- Requires knowledge of the OMA-URI path, data type, and value.
- Provides maximum flexibility for device configuration.
Memory trick: Custom Profile is your 'blank canvas' for unique OMA-URI settings.
