Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Easy
A company is using Microsoft Intune to manage its Android Enterprise corporate-owned devices. They need to ensure that specific applications are always present and up-to-date on all devices, without user interaction. These applications are available in the Managed Google Play Store. Which application assignment type should the administrator use to achieve this?
- AAvailable for enrolled devices
- BRequired
- CUninstall
- DAvailable with or without enrollment
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Required
To ensure that applications are always present and automatically kept up-to-date on devices without user interaction, the 'Required' assignment type in Intune is the correct choice. This automatically pushes the application to the devices.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. 'Available for enrolled devices' makes the app optional for users to install from the Company Portal or Managed Google Play Store.
- C. 'Uninstall' is used to remove an application from targeted devices, not to install or keep it updated.
- D. 'Available with or without enrollment' is typically for unmanaged devices or public store apps where enrollment isn't mandatory.

Memory trick: Required apps are always there, no user choice in the air.
