A company has Windows 8.1 client computers. The company develops a Windows Store app but does not
publish it to the Windows Store.
You need to sideload the Windows Store app on all client computers.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
Run the get-appxpackage Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
B.
Run the add-appxpackage Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
C.
Enable the Allow all trusted applications to install Group Policy setting.
D.
Enable the Allow installation of desktop items Group Policy setting.
E.
Run the msiexec command.
Explanation:

The Add-AppxPackage cmdlet adds a signed app package (.appx) to a user account. Use the DependencyPath
parameter to add all other packages that are required for the installation of the app package.
You can use the Register parameter to install from a folder of unpackaged files during development of
Windows® Store apps.
To update an already installed package, the new package must have the same package family name.

Try It Out: Sideload Windows Store Apps
By now, you are familiar with Windows Store apps. There are some pretty cool ones available in the store, and
publishers are adding more every week. A great thing about Windows Store apps is they are super simple to
install (and uninstall). But what about line of business (LOB) apps? You probably do not want to publish them
through the Windows Store since that would make them publically available. Instead, you can sideload LOB
apps. Sideloading simply means installing a Windows Store app without publishing it in and downloading it
from the store. You install it directly.
..Verify the Requirements
There are a small number of requirements computers must meet to sideload Windows Store apps on them.
We will start with computers running Windows 8 Enterprise:
The computer running Windows 8 Enterprise must be joined to the domain.
You must enable the “Allow all trusted apps to install” Group Policy setting.
The app must be signed by a \ certificate that is chained to a trusted root certificate.

Get-AppxPackage
The Get-AppxPackage cmdlet gets a list of the app packages (.appx) that are installed in a user profile.
To get the list of packages for a user profile other than the profile for the current user, you must run this
command by using administrator permissions.
