Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Easy
An administrator needs to deploy a critical Line-of-Business (LOB) application to all corporate-owned iOS devices. The application is an .ipa file and must be installed on all devices without user interaction, making it a mandatory installation. Which application assignment type in Intune should the administrator use?
- ARequired
- BUninstall
- CAvailable for enrolled devices
- DAvailable with or without enrollment
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Required
To ensure a mandatory installation of an application on devices without user interaction, the 'Required' assignment type in Intune should be used. This will automatically install the app on all targeted devices.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. 'Uninstall' is used to remove an application from targeted devices, not to install it.
- C. 'Available for enrolled devices' makes the app optional for users to install from the Company Portal.
- D. 'Available with or without enrollment' is for unmanaged devices or specific public store apps, not for mandatory LOB app installations on managed devices.
