Description: During planning of a VDI environment you need to consider if it needs to be highly available; that is, always available for the users to access without downtime. This provides resilience and continuity of the virtualized environment, including the applications through either RemoteApp or App-V. Microsoft offers various solutions to provide high availability to the VDI environment. This course will discuss how to plan and implement a highly available VDI solution to ensure clients can always access their virtualized enterprise desktops and applications. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft Exam 70-694: Virtualizing Enterprise Desktops and Apps certification exam with credit toward MCP, Microsoft Specialist credentials

Target Audience: IT administrators who want to gain experience using Microsoft virtualization technologies to plan for and implement application and desktop virtualization in a medium to large organization; learners looking to prepare for the 70-694: Virtualizing Enterprise Desktops and Apps certification exam

Description: Within Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, RemoteApp can be used within Remote Desktop Service deployments to publish programs to clients. The RemoteApp programs are installed on the RD Session Host servers and then published to the clients where the users access them like they are installed locally. This course will demonstrate how to create and configure remote applications and deploy and manage them. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft Exam 70-694: Virtualizing Enterprise Desktops and Apps certification exam with credit toward MCP, Microsoft Specialist credentials.

Description: Windows Server 2012 R2 contains the Remote Desktop Services server role which is used to provide session-based and virtual machine-based desktop deployments. This role provides a fault-tolerant and scalable RDS deployment. VM-based desktops allow clients to connect to a full Windows desktop as either a pooled or personal virtual desktop. Session-based desktop deployments allow clients to access applications from their desktops as if they were installed locally. This course will discuss the planning and implementing of VDI environments. It will also demonstrate how to deploy session-based and VM-based virtual desktop deployments. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft Exam 70-694: Virtualizing Enterprise Desktops and Apps certification exam with credit toward MCP, Microsoft Specialist credentials.

Description: The App-V Desktop client needs to be installed on all computers that require access to virtualized applications that will be published using App-V. This client ensures the applications run properly and appear to the user as a traditional application on a local computer. To package the applications for deployment to the clients they need to be sequenced using the App-V Sequencer. This course will demonstrate how to deploy and configure the App-V client. It will demonstrate how to install the App-V Sequencer and how to sequence applications and deploy them. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft Exam 70-694: Virtualizing Enterprise Desktops and Apps certification exam with credit toward MCP, Microsoft Specialist credentials.

Description: Before you can start to implement a VDI environment for desktops and applications the current environment needs to be assessed, as well as the client requirements. Microsoft offers the Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit to do this task. It can ensure applications run in different scenarios, such as having multiple versions of the same application. Once the applications are assessed, App-V can be used to deploy the applications virtually to the clients. This course will demonstrate how to use MAP and how to install the App-V server components.
