You support client Windows 8.1 computers. Some of these computers have the Application Virtualization (App-V) client installed. Multiple App-V applications are published on the network.
A user reports that it is taking a long time to launch App-V applications. You discover that the user has a roaming profile on the computer. You need to minimize the time that is required for the user to start App-V applications on her computer.
What should you do?
A. Change the location of the App-V client cache file.
B. Change the user profile to Local.
C. Increase the size of the App-V client cache.
D. Change the user profile to Mandatory.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
The current App-V Client VFS driver cannot write to network locations, so the App-V Client detects the presence of folder redirection and copies the data on the local drive during publishing and when the virtual environment starts. After the user closes the App-V application and the App-V Client closes the virtual environment, the local storage of the VFS AppData is copied back to the network, enabling roaming to additional machines, where the process will be repeated. The detailed steps of the processes are:
1. During publishing or virtual environment startup, the App-V Client detects the location of the AppData directory.
2. If the roaming AppData path is local or ino AppDataRoaming location is mapped, nothing happens.
3. If the roaming AppData path is not local, the VFS AppData directory is mapped to the local AppData directory.
Note: App-V 5.0 SP2 supports folder redirection of the roaming AppData folder (%AppData%). When the virtual environment is started, the roaming AppData state from the user’s roaming AppData directory is copied to the local cache. Conversely, when the virtual environment is shut down, the local cache that is associated with a specific user’s roaming AppData is transferred to the actual location of that user’s roaming AppData directory.
