Case Study: 2
A)
Datum Corporation
Overview
A)
Datum Corporation is a geological research company. The company has a main
office and a branch office. The main office is located in Seattle. The branch office is
located in Miami. Users in the research department work in the Miami office.
Existing Environment
Active Directory
The network contains a single-domain Active Directory forest named adatum.com.
Network Infrastructure. The relevant servers on the network are configured as shown
in the following table.
Content on SRV-FS1 and SRV-FS2 is replicated by using Distributed File System
(DFS) Replication. All shared content is accessible through the UNC path of
\\contoso.com\shared\data. All client computers run Windows XP. All of the client
computers have Microsoft Office 2007 installed. All applications are installed locally
on the client computers. The Miami office connects to the Seattle office by using a
site-to-site VPN connection. Research users in the Miami office use two applications
named App1 and App2. The research users are divided into two groups named
Adatum\ResearchManagers and Adatum\ResearchStaff. The IT department has a
custom install image of Windows 8. The image contains internally developed
Windows Store apps. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is used to deploy
patches to the client computers.
User Issues
Users report that when App1 and App2 run concurrently, the applications crash.
Requirements Planned Changes
The company plans to implement the following changes:
Deploy a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) infrastructure that runs Windows Server
2012. The infrastructure will be located in the Seattle office and will contain the
following servers:
Two Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) servers
Two Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) servers
Two Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) servers
Two Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) servers
Two Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) servers
Implement the desktops of the users in the Miami office by using a Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) and replace the desktop hardware with thin client devices.
Deploy a Windows Server 2012-based Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)
infrastructure in the Seattle office that contains the following servers:
Two App-V management servers
Two App-V publishing servers
One App-V reporting server
Standardize the client operating system on the 64-bit version of Windows 8.
Publish an application named App3 as a RernoteApp program.
Technical Requirements
The company must meet the following technical requirements:
The disk space used by the VDI must be minimized.
The amount of administrative effort must be minimized whenever possible.
The members of Adatum\ResearchManagers must have priority to the system
resources on the RD Session Host servers.
The availability of the RemoteApps programs, the App-V apps, and the virtual
desktops must not be affected if a single server fails.
The RD Session Host server will be installed on a server that is several years old.
Only 20 percent of the sessions must be established to this server.
Application Requirements
The company must meet the following application requirements:
Several custom add-ins for Office 2010 must be deployed.
App1 and App2 must be published as Remote App programs.
Application conflicts between App1 and App2 must be eliminated.
Office 2010 must be deployed by using an existing App-V package.
Updated Windows Store apps must be included in the Windows 8 image.
The reporting server must be used to monitor the usage of the App-V apps.
Users in the human resource (HR) department must be able to use existing 16-bit
applications.
The research users must be able to launch App3 by double-clicking files that have
an .app3 extension.
