Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains 500 client computers that run Windows 8.
You plan to deploy two applications named App1 and App2 to the client computers. App2 is updated by the application manufacturer every month.
You need to recommend an application distribution strategy for the applications.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
The executable files of App1 must NOT be stored on the client computers. Users who run App2 must run the latest version of App2 only.
What should you recommend using to deploy the applications?
A. RemoteApp programs
B. Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)
C. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) in standalone mode
D. A Group Policy software distribution package assigned to the computer accounts
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Note:
* RemoteApp enables you to make programs that are accessed remotely through Remote Desktop Services appear as if they are running on the end user’s local computer. These programs are referred to as RemoteApp programs. Instead of being presented to the user in the desktop of the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server, the RemoteApp program is integrated with the client’s desktop. The RemoteApp program runs in its own resizable window, can be dragged between multiple monitors, and has its own entry in the taskbar. If a user is running more than one RemoteApp program on the same RD Session Host server, the RemoteApp program will share the same Remote Desktop Services session.
Incorrect:
Not B:
* The App-V clients may also be used in a "stand-alone" mode without either of the server infrastructures. In this case, the sequenced packages are delivered using an external technique, such as an Electronic Software Delivery system or manual deployment.
* Microsoft Application Virtualization (MS App-V) platform allows applications to be deployed ("streamed") in real-time to any client from a virtual application server. It removes the need for traditional local installation of the applications, although a standalone deployment method is also supported. With a streaming-based implementation, the App-V client needs to be installed on the client machines and application data that is stored on the virtual application server is installed (streamed) to the client cache on demand when it is first used, or pre-installed in a local cache.
