Exam MD-101 topic 5 question 17 discussion

i think it' the best with Intune >the Latest version must be always installed

The answer should be E. It states the org is already using co-management. That means they are using the Current Branch of Configuration Manager already. Per Microsoft, they recommend that O365 ProPlus be deployed via System Center Configuration Manager Current Branch: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployOffice/plan-office-365-proplus

We need to be tested based on knowledge not solving riddles

Intune, What is MS trying to sell us all.....

ODT Fo Sho

Philinger is correct. I would say Intune as "The latest version must always be installed" once deployed Intune will keep it up to date. If using any other methods it won't keep the product up to date without extra admin.

Intune will always keep Office 365 apps up to date, as the 365 apps are installed directly from Intune itself therefore will always update.

Saw this in a practice exam but worded differently: Instead of "The solution must minimize administrative effort" it said "Your solution must also follow the principle of least amount of privilege. What is the best command-line tool to use for the deployment?" The answer options were the same. The answer to this question was: Office Deployment Toolkit (ODT) So I'm guessing this question is wrong, hence the confusion.

is still question still valid?

A :intune - you don't have to distibute content to dp...... less administrative effort.

Intune --> Create device group --> Select o365 app --> deploy to group ODT --> Download files -> create XML --> how to trigger install (manual install/MDT Task seq/powershell script/logon script etc) SCCM --> create new package via ODT or via wizard --> select DPs to distribute -->deploy to collection MDT --> requires ODT to have latest version, but is fastest with install as O365 is installed during TS, so at the end I would use this in production, but is not wat MS asks. In that regards I would say Intune is from total clicks the least, but its a bit ambiguous question.

I would go for Intune as well. You can create a deployment via Intune to deploy O365. Even with additional settings. Or just upload an xml to Intune. (this is required to create for ODT/SCCM etc as well) so it nog extra work. Intune will than automatically deploy the latest version to the group of devices you set.

In the question it states the machines are in co-management, which indicates the presence of ConfigMgr and Intune otherwise machines cannot be co-managed. In configMgr there is a co-management workload you can move to Intune specifically for Office 365 management. Office deployment and management from intune is by far the most simple way to deploy the Office apps (MS 365 Apps for business) I would lean towards Intune for this one. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/comanage/workloads#office-click-to-run-apps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add-office365#select-microsoft-365-apps

Jeez, I've done it Intune and it doesn't get any easier than that....

Since they're still using MDT and it wants the latest version you can use ODT with /configure to install O365 directly from the Microsoft website.
