Introduction
The Microsoft 70-696 Managing Enterprise Devices and Apps certification exam deals with advanced topics including virtual application management, RemoteApp, third-party software updates, configuration and compliance management. Some of the exam comprises topics that even experienced Configuration Manager administrators encounter on an infrequent basis.
Candidates for this exam are Information Technology (IT) Professionals who want to validate their advanced System Center 2012 R2 and Microsoft Intune device and application management skills and knowledge. To pass this exam, candidates require strong understanding of how to configure and manage virtual, mobile, and desktop applications. They also need to know how to manage software updates, compliance settings, inventory, and endpoint protection configuration using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune. To pass, candidates require a thorough theoretical understanding as well as meaningful practical experience implementing the technologies involved.
This book covers every exam objective, but it does not cover every exam question. Only the Microsoft exam team has access to the exam questions themselves, and Microsoft regularly adds new questions to the exam, making it impossible to cover specific questions. You should consider this book a supplement to your relevant real-world experience and other study materials. If you encounter a topic in this book with which you do not feel completely comfortable, use the links in the text to find more information and take the time to research and study the topic. Great information is available on TechNet, Channel 9, product team blogs, and online forums.
