Application sequencing at Contoso
You are preparing to sequence an important application at Contoso. This applica-
tion has two versions, an x86 version and an x64 version. You intend to deploy
the x86 version to computers running an x86 version of Windows 7. You intend to
deploy the x64 version to computers running an x64 version of Windows 8.1. With
this information in mind, answer the following questions:
1.
How many times should you sequence the application?
2.
Which services should you disable on the computer running Windows 8.1 x64
prior to sequencing the application?
A virtualized application is isolated from the host operating system and interacts indi-
rectly with it through the App-V client.
■
You should sequence an application on the same platform as you intend to run it.
■
Applications sequenced on x64 platforms cannot run on x86 platforms, but applica-
tions sequenced on x86 platforms can run on x64 platforms.
■
App-V Connection Groups allow virtualized applications to share data.
■
Answer the following questions to test your knowledge of the information in this objective.
You can find the answers to these questions and explanations of why each answer choice is
correct or incorrect in the “Answers” section at the end of the chapter.
1.

Windows 8.1. Which of the following computers can run this application if the App-V
client software has been installed? (Choose the best answer.)
a.
The x64 version of Windows 8.1
