Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Easy
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to deploy a custom PowerShell script to all corporate-owned Windows 11 devices to perform a specific system cleanup task. The script should run once on each device when it checks in with Intune. How should the administrator configure the deployment in Microsoft Intune?
- ADeploy the script using 'Scripts' under Devices > Windows > PowerShell scripts.
- BCreate a Custom OMA-URI profile to execute the PowerShell script.
- CDeploy the script as a Win32 app with a custom installation command.
- DEmbed the script within a Device Configuration profile (templates).
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Deploy the script using 'Scripts' under Devices > Windows > PowerShell scripts.
Microsoft Intune has a dedicated 'Scripts' feature under Devices > Windows > PowerShell scripts for deploying and managing PowerShell scripts. This is the most direct and intended method for this scenario.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Custom OMA-URI profiles are used for settings not natively exposed in Intune, not for executing arbitrary scripts.
- C. While possible, deploying a simple script as a Win32 app is overly complex and not the primary method for standalone scripts.
- D. Device Configuration profiles use templates for specific settings; they are not designed for direct script execution.
Intune PowerShell Script Deployment
Deploying custom PowerShell scripts to Windows devices using Intune's dedicated 'Scripts' feature for automated execution and monitoring.
- Directly supports PowerShell scripts.
- Provides execution context (user/system) and frequency options.
- Logs results for monitoring script success/failure.
Memory trick: Scripts go to the 'Scripts' section.
