How should a Hosted VDI environment be implemented to allow user-installed applications?
To enable user-installed applications in a Hosted VDI environment, Personal vDisk technology should be used to provide a persistent layer for user-specific changes.
Question
Options
- ABy using Citrix Profile Management
- BBy using Personal vDisk
- CBy using statically assigned virtual desktops
- DBy using a network share that contains the App-V packages
Why each option
To enable user-installed applications in a Hosted VDI environment, Personal vDisk technology should be used to provide a persistent layer for user-specific changes.
Citrix Profile Management handles user profiles and settings, not the installation of applications into the base OS image or providing application persistence.
Statically assigned virtual desktops inherently allow user installations but typically negate the benefits of single-image management for the OS layer, which Personal vDisk specifically addresses for shared images.
App-V packages virtualize and deliver applications, rather than allowing users to directly install applications onto the virtual machine's operating system itself.
