Five Hyper-V hosts that host multiple virtual machines
A Remote Desktop Services (RDS) infrastructure that contains five Remote Desktop
Session
Host (RD Session Host) servers in two session collections, one Remote Desktop
Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) server, and one Remote Desktop Web
Access (RD Web Access) server.
All client computers in Litware run Windows 8. The client computers are configured
to download updates from WSUS. An application named App4 is included in the
standard desktop image that is deployed to each client computer.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Litware plans to implement the following changes:
Expand the company by acquiring A. Datum.
Add more RD Web Access servers to the RDS infrastructure.
Publish three applications named Appl, App2, and App3 as RemoteApp programs.
Deploy two virtualized applications named App5 and App6 as Microsoft Application
Virtualization (App-V) packages.
Deploy App-V 5.0 management servers, publishing servers, and reporting servers.
Technical Requirements
Litware must meet the following technical requirements:
Minimize the amount of administrative effort whenever possible.
Ensure that an RD Connection Broker server is available if a single server fails.
Protect the connections to the RD Web Access server by using a trusted certificate.
Perform an application inventory of the applications in A. Datum without installing
additional software on the client computers in A. Datum.
Application Requirements
Litware must meet the following application requirements:
Ensure that App1 can be started by using document invocation.
Ensure that App1 is available on the Start screen of client computers that run
Windows 8.
Organize the published RemoteApp programs by application type on the RD Web
Access website.
Prevent users in the human resources (HR) department from running App4.
Administer App-V from a server named Server1.
Ensure that App5 and App6 can communicate with each other when they run in the
virtual environment.
Ensure that the virtualized applications are downloaded from a server in the same
office as the client computer that is downloading the applications.
Ensure that the virtualized applications are fully downloaded to a client computer
before users can run the applications.
Update App4 in the standard desktop image to a new version named App4A. The
App4A update is a Microsoft Installer (MSI) package.
Deploy application updates for App4 to the client computers by using WSUS.

A.Datum Corporation
Overview
A.Datum Corporation is a geological research company. The company has a main
office and a branch office. The main office is located in Seattle. The branch office is
located in Miami. Users in the research department work in the Miami office.
Existing Environment
Active Directory
The network contains a single-domain Active Directory forest named adatum.com.
Network Infrastructure. The relevant servers on the network are configured as shown
in the following table.
Content on SRV-FS1 and SRV-FS2 is replicated by using Distributed File System
(DFS) Replication. All shared content is accessible through the UNC path of
\\contoso.com\shared\data. All client computers run Windows XP. All of the client
computers have Microsoft Office 2007 installed. All applications are installed locally
on the client computers. The Miami office connects to the Seattle office by using a
site-to-site VPN connection. Research users in the Miami office use two applications
named App1 and App2. The research users are divided into two groups named
Adatum\ResearchManagers and Adatum\ResearchStaff. The IT department has a
custom install image of Windows 8. The image contains internally developed
Windows Store apps. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is used to deploy
patches to the client computers.
User Issues
Users report that when App1 and App2 run concurrently, the applications crash.
Requirements Planned Changes
The company plans to implement the following changes:
Deploy a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) infrastructure that runs Windows Server
2012. The infrastructure will be located in the Seattle office and will contain the
following servers:
Two Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) servers
Two Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker) servers
Two Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) servers
Two Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access) servers
Two Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) servers
Implement the desktops of the users in the Miami office by using a Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) and replace the desktop hardware with thin client devices.
Deploy a Windows Server 2012-based Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)
infrastructure in the Seattle office that contains the following servers:
Two App-V management servers
Two App-V publishing servers
One App-V reporting server
Standardize the client operating system on the 64-bit version of Windows 8.
Publish an application named App3 as a RernoteApp program.
Technical Requirements
The company must meet the following technical requirements:
The disk space used by the VDI must be minimized.

The members of Adatum\ResearchManagers must have priority to the system
resources on the RD Session Host servers.

desktops must not be affected if a single server fails.
The RD Session Host server will be installed on a server that is several years old.
Only 20 percent of the sessions must be established to this server.

Several custom add-ins for Office 2010 must be deployed.
App1 and App2 must be published as Remote App programs.
Application conflicts between App1 and App2 must be eliminated.
