There are 50 people in a legal department who are scheduled to have their laptops replaced with virtual desktops. Their application suite consists of Microsoft Office 365, Photoshop, and an Ip-based application internally developed by the company.

Which option minimizes management overhead of the gold image, while providing the users with access to their application suite?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A mandatory profile is a type of roaming profile that is read-only and does not save any changes made by users during their sessions. A mandatory profile can be applied to a group of users who share a common desktop environment and do not need to customize their settings or preferences.

A mandatory profile can ensure that a group of base settings are applied to Citrix-based VDI users at each logon, regardless of any changes they make during their sessions. A mandatory profile can also improve performance, security, and consistency of the VDI environment.

To use a mandatory profile with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, you need to create a template profile on a reference machine, rename its NTUSER.DAT file to NTUSER.MAN, and copy it to a network share.Then you need to configure Profile Management policies or Active Directory settings to point to the network share location for your users2.

Surprised that RDS is even an option here, thought it was outdated!

I feel like Remote Desktop Services could be a good choice since it centralizes management, but I can't recall the specifics.

Remote Desktop Services seems like the most straightforward option here. It allows me to centrally manage the application suite and deliver it to the users without the overhead of managing individual virtual machines. As long as the performance is adequate, I think this is the way to go.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is to find the option that provides the most centralized management of the application suite, which points me towards either the non-persistent MCS or the Remote Desktop Services approach. I'll weigh the trade-offs and make my choice.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I fully understand the differences between persistent VMs, non-persistent MCS, and Remote Desktop Services. I'll need to review my notes on those technologies before deciding.

This looks like a classic virtualization question. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each option to determine which one minimizes management overhead while still providing access to the required applications.

Guys, let's be real. The correct answer is obviously Option E: 'Have the users bring their own laptops and call it a day.' No management overhead, and they can play Solitaire to their heart's content.

Hmm, Option A looks good, but persistent VMs? That's so 2010. I'm feeling the non-persistence vibes from Option B. It's like virtual desktops, but with a hint of 'I don't care if you spill coffee on it'.

Option C all the way! Remote Desktop Services is tried and true. Plus, I hear the IT team has a sweet Remote Desktop Services rap they perform during deployment. Can't miss that.

Option B seems like the way to go. Non-persistent MCS delivered VMs would give users access to their apps while minimizing image management overhead. Plus, who doesn't love a good acronym like MCS?
