Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Easy
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a critical Line-of-Business (LOB) application to all corporate-owned Android Enterprise fully managed devices. The application is packaged as an .APK file. Users should not be able to uninstall this application. Which assignment type should the administrator use when deploying the application in Microsoft Intune?
- AAvailable with or without enrollment
- BUninstall
- CRequired
- DAvailable for enrolled devices
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Required
The 'Required' assignment type ensures that the application is automatically installed on target devices and cannot be uninstalled by the user, which aligns with the requirement for a critical LOB app that users should not remove.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This assignment type is for unenrolled devices or for making apps available in the Company Portal, not for mandatory, non-removable installations on corporate-owned devices.
- B. This assignment type is used to remove an application from devices, which is the opposite of the requirement.
- D. This assignment type makes the app available in the Company Portal for users to install optionally, but does not force installation or prevent uninstallation.
Intune Required App Assignment
An application assignment type in Microsoft Intune that forces the installation of an application on target devices and typically prevents user uninstallation.
- Mandatory installation.
- Prevents user uninstallation (for certain app types/platforms).
- Ensures compliance for critical applications.
Memory trick: Required apps are like a mandatory uniform; you have to wear it and can't take it off.
