Question 310
An enterprise needs to remove a vulnerable app version before assigning a patched replacement, avoiding two conflicting versions. What is the most appropriate management decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the most targeted action: Coordinate app supersedence or uninstall and replacement assignments with detection tests. The technical distinction is that lifecycle transitions should not leave multiple incompatible releases. Confirm the change by checking: The test endpoint has only the approved current app version.
Incorrect Answers
This action is appropriate for a different case: A company wants to deploy a Windows desktop accounting application packaged as an .exe with silent installation parameters. There, the targeted fix is 'Package it as a supported Intune Win32 app and configure the required install command.' because Win32 app packaging supports installation of traditional desktop software with monitoring. The current scenario instead requires 'Coordinate app supersedence or uninstall and replacement assignments with detection tests.' and verification that the test endpoint has only the approved current app version.
This action is appropriate for a different case: Enterprise users report duplicate Microsoft 365 Apps installations after both a Win32 Office package and an Intune suite deployment target the same computers. There, the targeted fix is 'Choose one authoritative Microsoft 365 Apps deployment method and remove overlapping assignments.' because competing software installation workflows can create version and detection drift. The current scenario instead requires 'Coordinate app supersedence or uninstall and replacement assignments with detection tests.' and verification that the test endpoint has only the approved current app version.
This action is appropriate for a different case: An application installation command prompts for interactive input and therefore times out under silent Intune deployment. There, the targeted fix is 'Use a documented silent unattended install switch or repackage for managed deployment.' because remote managed installs need noninteractive behavior. The current scenario instead requires 'Coordinate app supersedence or uninstall and replacement assignments with detection tests.' and verification that the test endpoint has only the approved current app version.
