VMware Workspace ONE Advanced (VCAP-DTM Design) — Question 3

After a successful proof of concept (PoC), a company has migrated all users to virtual desktops using VMware Horizon View and AppVolumes. The company administrator is asked to make a legacy application available to some users. The administrator discovers the application only runs on Windows XP and therefor does NOT install on the newly created Windows 10 virtual desktops.
Which distribution method should the administrator use to attempt to distribute the application?

Answer options

• A. Use Mirage and distribute is as an Applayer.
• B. Use AppVolumes and create an AppStack with the Application.
• C. Use RDS and distribute it as a Hosted App.
• D. Use Thinapp and package the Application in a Thinapp.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because AppVolumes allows for the creation of AppStacks that can deliver applications to virtual desktops without needing them to be installed on the operating system. Option A is incorrect as Mirage is not suitable for this scenario, while Option C does not address the compatibility issue with Windows XP. Option D is also incorrect since Thinapp would require a successful packaging of the application, which may not work with an outdated OS like Windows XP.
