Samuel O.Jun 27, 2026VM Hosted applications and Hosted VDI are your two answers here. Both of those FlexCast models give each user their own dedicated virtual machine, so the application never has to share process space with anyone else, which is exactly what you need when you are dealing with software that was not built to run in a multi-user environment like RDS or a shared desktop session.
Carlos M.Jun 17, 2026A and C are right. VM Hosted apps and Hosted VDI both give each user their own dedicated VM, so the app runs in a completely isolated environment and never has to deal with another user session on the same OS instance. That is exactly what you want for legacy or single-user apps that were never built to handle concurrent sessions. B and D are out because Hosted Shared Desktops and Published Applications both run on a shared server OS where multiple users are active at the same time, which requires multi-user awareness in the app.
Samuel O.Jun 19, 2026The part worth drilling for the exam is that Published Applications and VM Hosted Apps look identical to the end user, just a floating app window, but one is riding a shared OS and one owns the entire VM, and that is exactly where the question writers like to hide the trap.
Luis F.Jun 16, 2026Nailed this one cold, VM Hosted and Hosted VDI give each user their own instance.
Giovanna H.Jun 27, 2026This one maps to the FlexCast Model Selection section of the 1Y0-202 blueprint, and a clean mnemonic to anchor it is "Own Your OS," meaning if a user owns their own OS instance, the application does not need to play well with others. A and C are correct. VM Hosted Applications gives every user a dedicated virtual machine running a personal OS, and Hosted VDI does the same thing through a persistent or non-persistent desktop image, so neither model forces the application to share process space or registry hives with another user's session. Hosted Shared Desktops and Published Applications both seat multiple users on a single shared OS, which is precisely why those two models demand multi-user-aware applications. The supporting detail worth burning into memory here is that isolation at the OS layer is what removes the multi-user compatibility requirement, not isolation at the network or storage layer.
