LAB REVIEW QUESTIONS

Completion time 1. 10 minutes

In Exercise 4.2, you created a Lab04 text file on your computer at the beginning of the exercise. Later, while working within a terminal server session on your partner server, you opened a file using Notepad and accessed the Documents folder in your user profile on that computer. Why does the Lab04 file appear in the Documents folder on your partner server when you originally created it on your own server?

2.

In Exercises 4.4 and 4.7, you used the RDC client to connect to your partner server on two separate occasions, once interactively and once using the RDP file you created. How can you tell from this experience that the RDP file includes the settings you configured in the client before you created the RDP file?

3.

In Exercise 4.7, you opened two separate RemoteApp applications on your computer using your partner server as the client. How many sessions did you open on the terminal server by launching these two applications? How can you tell?

LAB CHALLENGE: DEPLOYING REMOTEAPP APPLICATIONS USING GROUP POLICY

Completion time 20 minutes

Your supervisor wants to be able to deploy terminal server applications to users desktops using RemoteApp and Group Policy, without the need for any configuration by the user. To complete this challenge, demonstrate that this is possible by deploying the Calculator program on your terminal server to all other computers in the classroom. As you proceed, be sure to observe the following restrictions.

Make sure your deployed application is properly identified on the users desktops as Server## Calculator, where ## is the number assigned to your computer. Do not modify any of the existing Group Policy objects in the Active Directory tree. Create your own GPO, naming it Student##, and link it as needed.

On your worksheet, list all of the tasks you must perform to complete this challenge.
