CompTIA Network Creating and Applying a Starter GPO for your application
An Active Directory?integrated program is a program that has been designed from the ground up to work alongside the data provided by Active Directory. Chances are you may have run across these either in the field or while studying for your application infrastructure exam for Windows Server 2008. A great example of something like this is an email client such as Exchange Server 2007. Because it needs a way to send CompTIA Security+ Certification email information from one Windows user to another, Exchange Server 2007 can query the Active Directory database for informa- tion regarding users and what they need to send information back and forth. The application falls right in line with Active Directory, and the user never really notices the difference.
Application Virtualization Components and SoftwareApplication virtualization technology requires particular components. I’ll begin the discus- sion of them by brie?y touching on each of these concepts. Then I will discuss each one in more depth as you begin to learn more and more about application virtualization and the role it plays within a Windows Server 2008 enterprise.
Microsoft SoftGrid SoftGrid is the overall technology that makes it easy to deploy appli-cations in a streamlined process, which in turn allows user to access various programs with very little overhead. When referencing enterprise-level deployment of applications, more often than not I’m referring to the use of Microsoft SoftGrid, which contains within it many of the features discussed later in this section.
Microsoft SoftGrid has two different types of deployment?Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Universal Desktops and Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Terminal Servers. Which to use is up to you and will be discussed in more detail later.
SoftGrid is capable of creating individual per-user instances of the CompTIA A+ Certification system registry, file system, COM/IPC, system libraries, process environment, and fonts, making it highly scalable and easy for users to integrate multiple applications in the same user environment.
Microsoft System Virtual Application Server Microsoft System Virtual Application Server (SVAS) is a component of Microsoft SoftGrid that is responsible for streaming application data to users who have requested that data throughout the enterprise. Normally, SVAS does this through security tokens and identi?ers (SIDs). When SVAS is running, it runs a service called Microsoft System Center Virtual Application Server . This is located by default in the Program Files\Softricity\SoftGrid Server\content directory.
