You are an Enterprise administrator for contoso.com. The corporate network of the company consists of a single Active Directory domain. All the servers in the domain run Windows Server 2008 and all client computers run Windows Vista. The servers on the network have the Terminal Services role enabled.
You have been assigned the task to deploy a new line-of-business application to all client computers and ensure that the users must access the application from an icon on their desktops, even when they are not connected to the network.
Which of the following options would you choose to accomplish the desired task?
A.
Publish the application as a TS RemoteApp.
B.
Assign the application to the terminal server by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
C.
Publish the application by using TS Web Access.
D.
Assign the application to all client computers by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
E.
None of the above
Explanation:
There are two different ways that you can deploy an application through the Active Directory. You can either publish the application or you can assign the application. You can only publish applications to users, but you can assign applications to either users or to computers
Assigning an application is a group policy action, so the assignment won’t take effect until the next time that the computer is rebooted. When the user does log in, they will see that the new application has been added to the Start menu and / or to the desktop. The deployment process actually installs the application rather than just the application’s icon.
You need to assign the application to all client computers and not to the terminal server because the application icon will be available to users on when it is installed on their client computers and not on terminal servers.
