Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Hard
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a complex, multi-step application installation and configuration to a group of Windows 11 devices using Microsoft Intune. This involves running several scripts and installing multiple dependencies before the main application can be installed. Which Intune application deployment type is best suited for this scenario?
- AWeb link
- BLine-of-business app (MSI)
- CMicrosoft Store app (new)
- DWin32 app (IntuneWin)
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Win32 app (IntuneWin)
The Win32 app (IntuneWin) deployment type in Intune provides the most flexibility for complex installations. It supports custom install/uninstall commands, detection rules, and dependency management, allowing administrators to define multi-step processes including script execution and prerequisite installations.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A web link is not an application deployment method; it only provides a shortcut to a URL.
- B. LOB (MSI) apps are simpler, single-package deployments and do not easily support complex multi-step installations or dependencies.
- C. Microsoft Store apps are pre-packaged and managed by the Store, offering no customization for complex installation logic.
Intune Win32 App Deployment
A robust application deployment method in Microsoft Intune that allows for complex installations of Win32 applications, including custom scripts, detection rules, and dependency management.

Memory trick: Win32 is the wizard for complex app installs, handling all the magic behind the scenes.
