Community Insight

Preparing a Win32 app for Intune requires converting the installation files to the .intunewin format using the Intune Win32 App Packaging tool.

To deploy a Win32 app like App1.exe via Microsoft Intune, the executable must first be converted into the .intunewin format. This page confirms the correct initial preparation step for Win32 app deployment.

Choosing to upload the .exe directly to Azure Blob Storage, misunderstanding that Intune specifically requires the .intunewin packaging format for Win32 apps.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

To deploy Win32 apps through Microsoft Intune, the installation files (such as App1.exe) must be packaged into the .intunewin format. This is accomplished using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool (IntuneWinAppUtil.exe). Without converting the file to this format, the Intune admin center will not accept the upload for a Win32 app type.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Creating an app configuration policy (Option A) is a post-deployment configuration step and does not prepare the app package itself. Creating a deployment configuration in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center (Option C) is used for managing Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, not custom Win32 apps. Uploading App1.exe to Azure Blob Storage (Option D) is unnecessary because Intune hosts the app content once it is uploaded in the correct .intunewin format.

Community Comment Notes

The community consensus strongly supports converting the file to the INTUNEWIN format, as noted by murcao who simply stated "B is correct". WORKHOLIC also confirmed the exact preparation step by quoting "Change App1.exe to the INTUNEWIN format."

Exam Strategy

When asked about deploying Win32 apps in Intune, always remember the prerequisite packaging step. The raw .exe or .msi files must be converted to the .intunewin format using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool before they can be uploaded.
