Intune App Deployment Supported Platforms

MD-102 By islever Editorial Last updated

Short answer

D You can deploy apps to Device1 (Windows), Device2 (iOS), and Device3 (Android), but not to Device4 (Linux).

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You have devices enrolled in Microsoft Intune as shown in the following table. To which devices can you deploy apps by using Intune? - Exhibit: Intune App Deployment Supported Platforms
  1. Device1 only
  2. Device1 and Device2 only
  3. Device1 and Device3 only
  4. Device1, Device2, and Device3 only Correct Answer
  5. Device1, Device2, Device3, and Device4

Key Takeaways

The exam tests the distinction between device management/enrollment capabilities and actual application deployment support, specifically highlighting that while Intune can manage some Linux devices, it cannot deploy apps to them.

This question tests knowledge of Microsoft Intune's supported operating systems for app deployment. The correct answer is D because Intune supports Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Android, but does not support Linux for app distribution.

Common mistake: Candidates often select option E (all devices) or C (excluding Android) because they are unaware that Intune has limited Linux management features (like compliance monitoring) which do not extend to app deployment.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Microsoft Intune supports app deployment on four primary platforms: Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Android. Device1 (Windows), Device2 (iOS), and Device3 (Android) are fully supported for app installation and management. Therefore, you can deploy apps to these three devices.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Device4 runs Ubuntu Linux. While Microsoft offers an 'Intune for Linux' solution for enrollment and compliance reporting (as noted in community comments), it does not support the deployment of traditional enterprise apps like those found in the Windows Store or App Store. Option A, B, and C exclude valid supported platforms (Android or iOS) or incorrectly include/exclude Linux. Option E incorrectly assumes Linux is a supported platform for app deployment.

Community Comment Notes

Community consensus strongly supports D. Users like Merrybob and MR_Eliot confirm that Linux is not supported for app deployment. One user, NoursBear, clarified that while there is an Intune App for Linux for enrollment/compliance, this does not enable general app deployment, citing official Microsoft documentation and Ubuntu blogs as references.

Exam Strategy

Always verify the specific capability being asked (e.g., 'manage' vs. 'deploy apps'). For Intune, remember the core four OS families: Windows, iOS, Android, macOS. Be wary of 'trick' options involving Linux or ChromeOS unless explicitly stated as supported for the specific feature in question.

    ChatGPT: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Microsoft Intune primarily focuses on managing and securing Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS devices. At that time, Ubuntu Linux was not officially supported for app deployment through Microsoft Intune.
