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.
The Active Directory has two organizational units (OU) configured. One for all the user accounts called UserOU and other for all the client computer accounts called ClientsOU.
You have been assigned the task to deploy a new application on the network and ensure that the users must access the application from an icon on the Start menu. Besides, you need to ensure that the application is available to remote users when they are offline.
Which of the following options would you choose to accomplish the desired task?
A.
Publish the application to users in the ClientsOU as a TS RemoteApp.
B.
Assign the application to computers in the UsersOU by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
C.
Publish the application to users in the UsersOU by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
D.
Assign the application to computers in the ClientsOU by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
E.
None of the above
Explanation:
To deploy a new application on the network and ensure that the users must access the application from an icon on the Start menu, you need to assign the application to computers in the ClientsOU by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
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 computers in the ClientsOU to link it to the computer rather than to the user. Assigning an application to a computer also differs from user assignments in that the deployment process actually installs the application rather than just the application’s icon. So the application is available to users in the ClientsOU even when they are offline.
