You administer computers that run Windows XP Professional. These computers have a wide range of line of business (LOB) applications installed. You want to migrate from Windows XP Professional to Windows 8.1 Pro. You need to identify which applications will prompt users for elevated privileges.
What should you do first?
A. Install the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT).
B. Configure the advanced audit setting on the Windows 8.1 Pro computers before you install the LOB applications.
C. Install the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit.
D. Install User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) on the Windows 8.1 Pro computers before you install the LOB applications.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Consider an application written for Windows XP that requires administrator privileges. You could also resolve the compatibility problem using the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) version 5.5 or later to create an application compatibility shim. ACT is a solution for administrators that requires no reprogramming of an application and can help you resolve common compatibility problems. For example, you can create a shim that responds to an application inquiry about the operating system or user level with a True statement, which allows the application to run.
Note: The Microsoft® Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) helps you determine whether the applications, devices, and computers in your organization are compatible with versions of the Windows® operating system. By using ACT, you can obtain compatibility information from Microsoft and software vendors, identify compatibility issues within your own organization, and share compatibility ratings with other ACT users.
