- Install apps from a share or an ISO versus downloading them to the desktop to keep layer size to a minimum. - Turn off automatic updates for applications. If automatic updates are left on, the updates will be put into the personalization layer. -- If this happens, you can use the ''reinstall'' feature to take back control of the application, and clearing the personalization layer of these conflicts/updates. - When installing an application that requires being part of a domain, it is ok to add the installation machine to the domain. -- After installing the application, remove the installation machine from the domain. -- Clean up the left over computer object in active directory - Installation machines can be added to View pools. Remember to remove them before finalizing the layer. This will prevent View certificate information from being saved in the layer.

Wait, no cross-talk? That’s surprising!

I believe cross-talk between layers is a big no-no after publishing, but I need to double-check that with my notes.

I'm a bit confused about prerequisites. I think there was something mentioned in class about them not being supported, but I can't recall the details.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like installing from an ISO is definitely important for the packaging machine.

I think I remember something about needing to turn off updates, but I'm not entirely sure if that's for both Windows and applications.

Installing the hypervisor tools at the same time as the applications - that makes sense to ensure a consistent environment. I'll make sure to do that.

Interesting, I didn't realize that cross-talk between layers isn't supported after publishing. That's good to know for designing the layering strategy.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the support for applications that require prerequisites. I'll need to double-check the Citrix App Layering documentation on that.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the key considerations are around how applications are installed and configured in the packaging machine.

Definitely B and D. You want to avoid any potential issues with the packaging machine, and the hypervisor tools are essential for a smooth deployment.

I think B and D are the correct answers. Installing applications from an ISO or fileshare makes sense, and you need the hypervisor tools installed for the packaging machine to work properly.
