Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a custom application to a group of macOS devices. The application is packaged as a .pkg file and requires administrative privileges to install. The administrator wants to ensure that the installation process is silent and that the application is installed in the /Applications folder. Which Intune app deployment method for macOS should be used?
- AWeb link
- BmacOS app (DMG, PKG, APP)
- CLine-of-business (LOB) app
- DMicrosoft Store app
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. macOS app (DMG, PKG, APP)
For macOS applications packaged as .pkg files, Intune supports deploying them directly as 'macOS app (DMG, PKG, APP)'. This method allows for silent installation and proper placement, especially for packages requiring elevated privileges.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Web links are shortcuts, not actual software installers.
- C. While LOB apps are used for various platforms, for macOS, the specific 'macOS app' type is preferred for .pkg files as it is tailored for macOS package deployments.
- D. Microsoft Store apps are for Windows devices, not macOS.
