Topic 2, Company Two
You deploy Windows 7 Enterprise in a VDI pool resource group.
You need to ensure that the virtualization strategymeets the company’s OSE requirements.
Which GPO setting should you recommend?
Background
You are the desktop architect for a company with 10,000 client computers. Client computers are either
portable or desktop computers. All client computersrun the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Enterprise. Your
network consists of a main office and four regionaloffices.
Your network has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a single-domain, single-forest model.
The forest and domain functional levels are set to Windows Server 2008 R2. There are four domain
controllers in the main office and two additional domain controllers in each regional office.
All servers run Windows Servers 2008 R2.
The regional offices are listed in the following table with users and WAN connection speeds.
Users in the New York office will have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application that is
CPU-intensive and only runs on windows 2000 Professional. The Toronto office uses a network-intensive
application. All users in the Toronto office use a legacy CRM application that runs on Windows XP only .
The existing client computers are managed with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
(ConfigMgr) 2007 R3.
Business Requirements
The following business requirements must be maintained or exceeded:
Software Asset Management
The company Software Asset Management (SAM) team has a policy that mandates that after operating
systems are deployed, the operating system environment (OSE) must be activated automatically before any
additional updates or software are installed in theOSE. The Paris development group has a Key
Management Server (KMS) in an isolated test network. All engineering applications are required to maintain
compliance with the license agreements of the application vendors.
Technology Requirements
You need to ensure that users can always receive operating system and application updates on the internal
network and when away from the main office or branch offices. The mobile staff uses portable computers.
In the next remote update of the client computers, you need to deploy an Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) add-on to Microsoft Internet Explorer. This add-on must support a partner application and integrate
with the remote users. The ERP Internet Explorer add-on does not support the 64-bit version of Windows7.
Virtualization infrastructure
You use Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) to deliver applications to computers. You use Microsoft
Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 to deliver VDI desktops in apool. All client operating systems deployed in theVDI
pool must be automatically joined to the domain during the deployment process.
New Functionality
The fewest number of servers should be added to theenvironment to meet the technical goals. A new
version of an existing engineering application mustbe deployed to the users. The new application requires a
dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU) with 2 GB of memory.
Technical Requirements
The following technical requirements must be maintained or exceeded:
Infrastructure Requirements
All applications and updates are required to be deployed with the same central management tool. Detailed
reporting for compliance audits are required to be available for all application and update deployments.
Application Compatibility
All current applications must be supported on Windows 7. You are licensed for the latest version of the
Microsoft Desktop and Optimization Pack (MDOP).
Operating System Environment (OSE) Requirements
You need to ensure that Internet Explorer 9 is not automatically installed on any of the computers in the
Toronto office.
You need to ensure that the Internet Explorer Initial Wizard is not displayed on any Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) computers.
Security
All remote access must be logged and audit able. All VDI desktops computers must not send Customer
Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) for Internet Explorer or windows Live Messenger.
