non-persistent VDI desktops are virtual desktops that do not save any changes made by the user after they log off or shut down12.They rely on a master image that contains the OS, configuration settings, and other customizations that replicate to multiple virtual desktops1.

I agree, data is key. Configurations can be reset.

True, but those won't persist in non-persistent VDI.

Are you sure about that? I thought some settings could stick around too.

Wait, so they won't be able to install apps anymore? That's surprising!

I bet the accounting department is thrilled about losing their admin rights. They're probably already planning a mutiny.

Haha, good luck to the users trying to install their own apps on a non-persistent VDI! That's a recipe for disaster.

D. Saving application configurations seems like the most logical choice here. The users won't be able to install anything on their own.

I think the answer is B. Saving user data should persist, even with non-persistent VDI desktops.

I could be wrong, but I think users won’t be able to install drivers for peripherals after the switch, so that rules out C.

I practiced a similar question about VDI, and I think it was about user profiles. I feel like B is the most likely choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about application configurations not persisting in non-persistent VDI. So maybe it's not D?

I think the answer might be B) Saving user data, since non-persistent desktops usually allow users to save their files to a network location.

Alright, I've got a strategy here. Non-persistent VDI means the desktop is reset after each session, so anything the user installs or configures won't be saved. The only thing that will persist is user data, so the answer must be B.

I disagree, I think D) Saving application configurations might also persist.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know non-persistent VDI means the desktop is reset, but I'm not sure which specific capabilities will carry over. I'll have to review the differences between persistent and non-persistent VDI.

C. Installing drivers for user peripherals is the key capability that will persist, since the VDI environment will need to support that.

Okay, let's see. With non-persistent VDI, the desktop is reset after each session, so user-installed applications and configurations won't persist. I'm guessing the answer is B.
