Your company has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. All servers run Windows
Server 2008 R2. All client computers run Windows 7. Your environment includes Microsoft
Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V). You use MED-V to support temporary test environments.
You need to ensure that the disk space used by obsolete Workspaces is automatically minimized.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two)
A.
Configure the Workspace as revertible.
B.
Set an expiration date for the Workspace.
C.
Specify the number of image versions to keep.
D.
Configure automatic deletion of the Workspace
Explanation:
Workspace Expiration Options Using the MED-V Management Console, Workspace expiration
options are set in the General section of the deployment tab. Expiration options can be set on a peruser or per-group basis. When the workspace expiration
date is set, it takes effect for the workspace during the next policy refresh (which is on login, every
15 minutes, or manually through the system tray). If a workspace is active, and the workspace
expiration occurs, it will not affect an active workspace session. But once the workspace stops in that
case, the workspace will no longer be made available to the user. Workspace Deletion Options An
additional option is made available for determining the behavior of workspace images on the client
under certain configuration parameters. These include when the workspace is expired, when the
workspace is offline for a certain amount of time, or the workspace has been disabled. These options
were primarily designed for revertible workspaces in that deletion of persistent workspaces are
often only used for added security of normally connected workspaces. If a parameter triggering
workspace deletion has occurred and the workspace is currently running, the deletion will take place
once the workspace is stopped. It is important to note only the images (all versions) beneath C:
\MED-V Images\<IMAGENAME> will be deleted and not pre-staged CKM images. The Behavior Note
that it is important that you understand the behavior from a user’s standpoint. If the user is
attempting to start a MED-V Workspace, he may receive a message stating that there are no
workspaces available, or he may see a list of workspaces but the one the user is looking for is not
available. This usually means one of the following: The workspace has not been enabled for the user
The workspace is enabled but has expired Users will receive no warning prior to expiration. In
addition, users will not receive any notice once the workspace has expired. Tip by J.C. Hornbeck, a
