Questions and Answers

1.

VMware ThinApp is an application virtualization technology which will primary virtualize these items:
- A.
  
  Files and registry
- B.
  
  Application DLL’s, ODBC connections and other plugins
- C.
  
  All objects related to the application which are installed
- D.
  
  Installation and Sandbox files
Correct Answer
A. Files and registry

Explanation
VMware ThinApp is a technology that allows applications to be virtualized. It primarily virtualizes files and the registry, which means that it creates a virtual environment for the application where these components are isolated and separate from the host operating system. This allows the application to run without interfering with the system's files and registry. Additionally, ThinApp also virtualizes application DLL's, ODBC connections, and other plugins, as well as all objects related to the application that are installed. Finally, it virtualizes installation and sandbox files, providing a secure and isolated environment for the application to run.

ThinApp will redirect changes made during application runtime to:
- A.
  
  The cachedirectory
- B.
  
  The sandbox
- C.
  
  The userprofile
- D.
  
  The My Documents folder
Correct Answer
B. The sandbox

Explanation
During application runtime, ThinApp redirects changes made by the application to the sandbox. The sandbox is a virtual environment that is created by ThinApp to isolate the application from the underlying operating system. Any changes made by the application, such as file modifications or registry entries, are stored within the sandbox. This allows the application to run without affecting the host operating system or other applications.

You are trying to debug a virtual application with the ThinApp Log monitor. While you have started the Log monitor, no virtual application process appears. What can cause this?
- A.
  
  The virtual application was started before the Log monitor was started
- B.
  
  You didn't start a virtualized process
- C.
  
  Package.ini contains a DisableTracing=1 for this application
- D.
  
  All these anwers are true
Correct Answer
D. All these anwers are true

Explanation
All these answers are true. If the virtual application was started before the Log monitor, it may not appear in the monitor. If a virtualized process was not started, there will be no virtual application process to monitor. If the Package.ini file contains a DisableTracing=1 for this application, tracing may be disabled and no process will appear in the Log monitor. Therefore, any of these reasons can cause the absence of a virtual application process in the Log monitor.

ThinApp cannot virtualize:
- A.
  
  Anti-virus and firewall software
- B.
  
  ODBC drivers
- C.
  
  Photo-editing and CAD software
- D.
  
  All answers are true
Correct Answer
A. Anti-virus and firewall software

Explanation
ThinApp cannot virtualize anti-virus and firewall software because these types of software require deep integration with the operating system in order to provide real-time protection and network security. Virtualizing them would compromise their effectiveness and potentially put the virtualized environment at risk.

You are virtualizing an application with ThinApp. You can only get this application to work if you have a (virtual) floppydrive available. What should you add to Package.ini?
- A.
  
  VirtualDrives=Drive=A, Serial=ff897828, Type=REMOVABLE;
- B.
  
  VirtualDrives=Drive=A, Serial=ff897828, Type=FLOPPY;
- C.
  
  VirtualDrives=Drive=X, Serial=ff897828, Type=FIXED;
- D.
  
  VirtualDrives=Drive=X, Serial=ff897828, Type=CDROM;
Correct Answer
A. VirtualDrives=Drive=A, Serial=ff897828, Type=REMOVABLE;

Explanation
The correct answer is VirtualDrives=Drive=A, Serial=ff897828, Type=REMOVABLE; because the question states that the application can only work if a virtual floppy drive is available. Therefore, the Package.ini should include a virtual drive of Type REMOVABLE with Drive=A to simulate a floppy drive.
