Community Insight

This question tests managing Android OS updates in Intune and highlights the licensing trap where Android FOTA requires Intune Plan 2, which is not included in Microsoft 365 E5.

To manage operating system updates for corporate-owned Android Enterprise devices in Microsoft Intune with a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription, you must use a device configuration profile. This approach uses the System update setting within a device restrictions profile, which is universally supported across OEMs.

Choosing Android FOTA deployment because it seems purpose-built for OS updates, ignoring that it requires the Intune Suite add-on license not present in a standard Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.

Option B. an Android FOTA deployment Android FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) is the mechanism specifically designed for managing operating system updates on Android devices. Intune supports managing FOTA updates for corporate-owned Android Enterprise devices. This allows you to control and deploy OS updates.

For FOTA Microsoft Intune Plan 2 or Microsoft Intune Suite license is required. Since there are no other specification about licensing i wuold stay with D, here from the doc: "If FOTA isn't available you can use Device restrictions profiles, which work for all OEMs" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/fota-updates-android

Manage OS updates using the System update setting in an Intune device configuration profile (Devices > Manage devices > Configuration > Create > Device restrictions > General). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/software-updates-guide-android

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

A device configuration profile (specifically a device restrictions profile) includes the "System update" setting, which allows administrators to manage OS update behavior for corporate-owned Android Enterprise devices. This method is supported by the standard Intune licensing included with Microsoft 365 E5 and works across all OEMs, making it the correct choice for this subscription tier.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

A compliance policy only evaluates whether a device meets required configurations but does not actually deploy or manage the OS updates. An Endpoint security policy is used for managing security features like antivirus and encryption, not operating system updates. An Android FOTA deployment is designed for OS updates but requires Microsoft Intune Plan 2 or the Intune Suite add-on, which are not included in a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.

Community Comment Notes

Commenters correctly pointed out the licensing limitation for FOTA, as Alex_UC noted that "For FOTA Microsoft Intune Plan 2 or Microsoft Intune Suite license is required". Another user highlighted the fallback configuration, stating "If FOTA isn't available you can use Device restrictions profiles". JayHall provided the exact path to the setting within the configuration profile.

Exam Strategy

Always check the licensing tier specified in the question before selecting advanced features like Android FOTA. If the subscription is Microsoft 365 E5, default to standard Intune capabilities like device configuration profiles for update management.
