Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a critical Line-of-Business (LOB) application to all corporate-owned iOS devices. The application is developed internally and is packaged as an .ipa file. The administrator wants to ensure that the app is automatically installed on devices without user interaction and that updates are also pushed automatically. Which Intune app assignment type should be used?
- AAvailable with or without enrollment
- BAvailable for enrolled devices
- CUninstall
- DRequired
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Required
The 'Required' assignment type in Intune ensures that an application is automatically installed on all targeted devices or users without any user interaction. This is ideal for critical LOB apps that must be present and automatically updated on corporate-owned devices.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. 'Available with or without enrollment' is for unmanaged devices or specific scenarios, but still makes the app optional for installation by the user.
- B. 'Available for enrolled devices' makes the app optional for users to install from the Company Portal, which contradicts the 'automatically installed' requirement.
- C. 'Uninstall' is used to remove an application from devices, not to install it.
