Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Line-of-business app (Windows)
For deploying standard .msi installers to Windows devices silently, the 'Line-of-business app (Windows)' type is the most appropriate and direct method in Microsoft Intune. This allows for direct upload and silent installation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This option is for Android devices and is not applicable to Windows 11 devices.
- B. This option is specifically for deploying Microsoft 365 Office applications, not custom LOB .msi files.
- C. This option creates a shortcut to a website and does not install an application.
Intune LOB App (Windows)
A Microsoft Intune application type used to deploy standard Windows installer packages (.msi, .appx, .msix) directly to managed Windows devices.
- Supports silent installation for .msi files.
- Ideal for custom or internal applications.
- Requires direct upload of the installer file.
