Microsoft 365 Certified Endpoint Administrator (MD-102) Practice Test

Which feature ensures only approved applications can be installed on managed devices?

1. Microsoft Intune

2. Microsoft Store for Business

3. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager

4. Windows Analytics

The correct answer is: Microsoft Store for Business

The choice of the Microsoft Store for Business as the appropriate feature that ensures only approved applications can be installed on managed devices is accurate because this platform allows organizations to create a curated list of applications that can be deployed and installed on managed endpoints. By leveraging the Microsoft Store for Business, administrators can specify which applications are available for users, ensuring compliance with internal policies concerning software usage and security. This feature provides enhanced control over the application landscape in the organization, thereby reducing the risk associated with unauthorized or harmful applications being installed on managed devices. It facilitates a more secure environment where only vetted applications, which meet the organization's compliance and security standards, can be made available for installation by users. Other solutions, while capable in their operations, focus on different aspects of device management. Microsoft Intune offers comprehensive mobile device management and mobile application management capabilities, but the specific function of controlling the application installation process directly through an approved list is tied to the features within the Microsoft Store for Business. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager can manage applications as well but is more oriented toward managing and deploying software on-premises rather than specifically controlling app installation through a curated store. Windows Analytics, on the other hand, primarily focuses on providing insights and telemetry data about devices rather than application approval or deployment. Each
