Case Study: 14
School of Fine Art
Scenario
COMPANY OVERVIEW
School of Fine Art is an educational institution that has a main campus and two satellite
campuses. The main campus is located in New York. The satellite campuses are located in
Los Angeles and Chicago. The main campus has approximately 4,000 users made up of
students, faculty, and employees. Each satellite campus has approximately 1,000 users made
up of students, faculty, and employees.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named fineartschool.net. All servers
run Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run either Windows XP or Windows 7.
The network contains Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) and Microsoft Enterprise
Desktop Virtualization (MED-V).
Existing Network Infrastructure
The main campus has the following servers:
• A file server that contains confidential files
• A print server that has several printers installed
• A server that has the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server role installed
All client computers are updated by using the WSUS server. The main campus has a
computer lab. The lab has 50 client computers that run Windows 7 Enterprise. The computer
accounts for the lab computers are located in an organizational unit (OU) named LabOU. The
user accounts and computer accounts for all of the students are located in an OU named
StudentsOU. Both OUs are child objects in the fineartschool.net domain. The relevant Group
Policy objects (GPOs) are configured as shown in the following table.

REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
The computer lab must meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that the user settings in all domain-level GPOs are App1ied to each student.
• Prevent the settings in all domain-level GPOs from being App1ied to the client computers
in the computer lab.
The update management infrastructure must meet the following requirements:
• Each campus must control the updates for its respective campus.

• Update status reports must be sent weekly to the Enterprise Administrator on the main
campus.
Application Requirements
All client computers will be upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. An Application named App1
runs on every client computer. App1 is only compatible with Windows XP. App1 must
remain available after all of the operating system upgrades are complete.
App1 must meet the following requirements:
• App1 must be available from the Start menu.
• The management of App1 must be centralized.
• Each user must have a unique instance of App1.
Security Requirements
Security for the file server on the main campus must meet the following requirements:
• Unauthorized users must be prevented from printing sensitive files stored on the server.
• The contents of the server* s hard disks must remain secure if the physical security of the
server is compromised.
Problem Statements
Users report that they receive a different desktop environment every time they log on to a
client computer in the computer lab. The print server on the main campus has reliability
issues. A malfunction on a single printer often causes other printers to malfunction.

You need to recommend a solution that meets the company’s Application provisioning
requirements. What should you recommend?

A.
Create a new MEDV workspace.

B.
Publish a new RemoteApp program.

C.
Create an Application compatibility shim.

D.
Package a new Application by using the AppV Sequencer.

Explanation:

MED-V Benefits
The key benefit of MED-V is that it helps enterprises deal with incompatibility between applications
and the operating system. For instance, if a user needs to run an early version of Internet Explorer
and that version of Internet Explorer is not supported on Windows Vista, the administrator can use
MED-V 1.0 to deploy this early version of Internet Explorer to the user as part of a Windows XP
virtual image. (And when MED-V 1.0 SP1 becomes available in Q1 of 2010, the user will be able to do
the same thing on computers running Windows 7.) The user can then have two copies of Internet
Explorer running simultaneously on his desktop—the most recent version (running on the host
computer) and the earlier version (running in the MED-V workspace). From the user’s perspective,
both copies of Internet Explorer appear as if they were running on the local computer. MED-V does

this by allowing users to run legacy applications within a virtual machine that has an earlier version
of Microsoft Windows installed. The user can then access these applications either from a virtual
desktop (as with Virtual PC 2007 running natively on a system) or by using application windows that
are seamlessly integrated into the local desktop of the user’s computer (similar to RemoteApp in
Remote Desktop Services).
MED-V Usage Scenarios
The key usage scenario for MED-V is resolving application-to-operating system Incompatibility to
accelerate the upgrade path to a new operating system. Businesses that need to continue to run
legacy line-of-business applications on users’ desktop computers can do so by using Virtual PC.
Incompatibility between legacy applications and newer versions of Microsoft Windows can often be
a primary blocking issue preventing an enterprise from upgrading to the latest version of Windows,
such as Windows Vista, to take advantage of the many new features and enhancements offered by
this version. By delivering those applications in a Virtual PC that runs a previous version of the
operating system (for example, Windows XP or Windows 2000), MED-V allows administrators to
break the tight dependency between a computer’s underlying hardware and the operating system,
and it can help remove such blocking issues so that your users can benefit from having the latest
version of Windows deployed on their desktop computers. From the user’s perspective, with MED-V,
these applications are accessible from the Start menu and appear side by side with regular
applications—so there is minimal change to the user experience.
App1 is only xp compatible but needs to be available on win7 clients, it also needs to be centrally
managed. So Med-V fits the needed requirements
