What should you include in the recommendation?\r\n
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Proseware, Inc. is a publishing company that has a main office and a branch office.
The main office is located in New York. The branch office is located in Sydney. The main office has 5,000
users. The branch office has 1,000 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
Proseware plans to deploy a new 64-bit application named App2 to 10 users in the branch office. Only
members of the local Administrators group can run App2.
Proseware is evaluating whether to deploy virtual desktop pools. The virtual desktop pools must meet the
following requirements:
Apply the settings in GPO1 to the virtual machines (VMs).
Prevent the VMs from receiving the Automatic Updates settings from GPO2,
Ensure that only the host VM is affected if a virtual hard disk (VHD) file becomes corrupt.
Minimize the amount of storage used to support the VMs.
Minimize the amount of memory and CPU resources used by the VMs.
Minimize administrative effort.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
All servers run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. All of the client computers in the
main office run Windows 7. All of the client computers in the branch office run Windows XP (x86) with
Service Pack 3 (SP3).
All of the client computers in the main office are configured as Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Visualization
(MED-V) and Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) clients.
A two-node Hyper-V cluster is deployed in the main office. The cluster uses Clustered Shared Volumes.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named proseware.com. The functional level of the
forest is Windows Server 2008.
The relevant organizational units (OUs) for the domain are configured as shown in the following table.
A custom Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1 is linked to the domain, GPO1 contains corporate
computer security settings.
A custom GPO named GPO2 is linked to both office OUs. GPO2 contains Windows Server Update
Services (WSUS) settings.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has servers that have the following server roles or role services installed:
WSUS
Hyper-V
File Services
Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access)
Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host)
Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host)
Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker)
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
When users interactively logs on to any of the client computers in the branch office, they must automatically
receive the local administrator rights to that computer. When users logs off, they must lose the administrator
rights.
The disk space on all file servers must be monitored. If any file server has less than 20% free disk space on
a volume, a script must run that deletes temporary files.
Problem Statements
The main office has a shared folder named Legal. The Legal share is only accessed by users in the legal
department. Legal department users report that it takes a long time to locate files in the Legal shareby
using keyword searches.
