A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a critical security application to all Windows 11 devices managed by Intune. The application is packaged as a Win32 app and requires specific installation and uninstallation commands. Which application deployment type in Intune should the administrator use to ensure the application is installed correctly with its custom commands?
- AWeb link
- BMicrosoft Store app
- CLine-of-business (LOB) app
- DWindows app (Win32)
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Windows app (Win32)
Windows app (Win32) is the appropriate deployment type in Intune for applications that require custom installation and uninstallation commands, detection rules, and complex deployment scenarios. This type supports the Win32 app package (.intunewin).
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Web links are shortcuts to web pages, not actual application installations.
- B. Microsoft Store apps are deployed directly from the Microsoft Store and do not allow custom installation commands.
- C. Line-of-business (LOB) apps are typically MSI or APPX packages that have simpler installation requirements than Win32 apps and less granular control over installation commands.
Intune Win32 App Deployment

- Requires packaging the application into a .intunewin file.
- Allows specifying custom install and uninstall commands.
- Supports detection rules to verify successful installation.
