1. ThinApp will redirect changes made during application runtime to:

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.

About This Quiz
Unofficial VMware Thinapp  Exam - Quiz

Welcome to this unofficial VMware ThinApp exam. All questions are multiple choice. Always select the best possible answer.

2. What is the best thing to do before starting the Setup Capture?

Explanation

Before starting the Setup Capture, it is recommended to perform various tasks to ensure a smooth and accurate capture process. Disabling the screensaver is important as it prevents any interruptions or distractions during the capture. Disabling the Windows firewall is necessary to avoid any interference with the capture process. Disabling Automatic Updates prevents any updates from being installed during the capture, which could affect the accuracy of the captured state. Disabling System Restore prevents any restore points from being created during the capture, ensuring a clean and consistent state. Therefore, all of these answers are correct as they are essential steps to be taken before starting the Setup Capture.

Submit
3. You want to register your virtual application but don’t want to use the MSI function. What should you do?

Explanation

To register a virtual application without using the MSI function, you should use thinreg.exe. Thinreg.exe is a command-line tool that allows you to register virtual applications without the need for an MSI installer. It is specifically designed for registering ThinApp virtual applications and provides a convenient alternative to the traditional MSI registration process.

Submit
4. You are the ThinApp Administrator for a big company. An end-user is calling you because he used a (virtualized) Microsoft Word 2007 and accidentally saved an important document in C:\Windows\ but he is unable to find it. What should you do?

Explanation

The correct answer is to remotely browse to the user's sandbox and search for the document. This is the most appropriate action because the user mentioned that he used a virtualized version of Microsoft Word 2007. In a virtualized environment, applications and their associated files are typically isolated in sandboxes. Therefore, it is likely that the document was saved within the user's sandbox rather than the Windows folder. By remotely accessing the user's sandbox, the administrator can search for the document and potentially recover it for the user.

Submit
5. During the launch of a virtual application the end-users see some pop-up windows entitled “Windows Installer” which are unnessecary. You want to prevent this from happening, what should you do?

Explanation

Removing all .MSI files from the capture and its relations in the virtual registry will prevent the unnecessary pop-up windows entitled "Windows Installer" from appearing during the launch of a virtual application. By removing these files and their associations, the virtual application will not trigger the Windows Installer service, thus eliminating the pop-up windows. Disabling the Windows Installer service or restricting users from installing applications may not address the specific issue of the pop-up windows.

Submit
6. What will ThinApp do with virtualized fonts during runtime?

Explanation

ThinApp will extract virtualized fonts to the sandbox subfolder %Fonts% during runtime. This means that the fonts will be stored in a specific folder within the application's sandbox environment. They will be accessible to the application for the duration of its runtime.

Submit
7. After “build.bat” is started, ThinApp generates an executable of the virtual application, which is default placed in…

Explanation

After the "build.bat" is started, ThinApp generates an executable of the virtual application. By default, this executable is placed in the "\Bin" directory.

Submit
8. Your are the ThinApp Administrator that wants to remove the sandbox upon application shutdown, what do you need to add in Package.ini?

Explanation

To remove the sandbox upon application shutdown, the ThinApp Administrator needs to add "RemoveSandboxOnExit=1" in the Package.ini file. This setting ensures that the sandbox is deleted when the application is closed, preventing any leftover files or data from persisting.

Submit
9. You are using a virtual machine to capture your ThinApp applications. You have installed VMware Tools for better screen, mouse and keyboard performance. What is the effect of installing VMware tools before starting your setup capture?

Explanation

Installing VMware Tools before starting the setup capture could cause the capture to miss some DLLs that were installed by VMware Tools. This is because VMware Tools may install additional DLLs that are required for proper functioning of the virtual machine, and if the capture is done before installing VMware Tools, these DLLs may not be included in the captured package.

Submit
10. During the installation of ThinApp the setup will ask for your displayname and licensecode. Where is this license information saved?

Explanation

The license information for ThinApp is saved in a file called "vmw.lic".

Submit
11. You are the ThinApp Administrator that just finished the Setup Capture. In package.ini you will see some lines starting with “Shortcuts=”  Where is this setting used for?

Explanation

The "Shortcuts=" setting in package.ini is used to define the locations where shortcuts should be placed. This setting allows the ThinApp Administrator to specify the directories or folders where shortcuts for the application should be created during the packaging process. By specifying the desired locations, the administrator can ensure that the shortcuts are placed in the appropriate locations for easy access by the end users.

Submit
12. You have placed your virtual applications on a network share and want to use the streaming function, how should you activate this?

Explanation

The correct answer states that ThinApp streaming works automatically and does not require activation. This suggests that the streaming function is already enabled by default and does not need any additional steps to activate it.

Submit
13. You have just created a virtual application and you are deploying it with the MSI function. Where is the Inventoryname setting used for ?

Explanation

The Inventoryname setting is used for all the given options. It is used to generate a sandboxname, create a named subfolder in %ProgramFiles%, and name the uninstall information in "Add / remove programs" in your config panel.

Submit
14. 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?

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.

Submit
15. You are the ThinApp Administrator for Contoso Ltd. and have distributed several virtual applications on their systems. Contoso is using an Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure and all virtual applications are protected for unauthorized use. You have added the “PermittedGroups=ThinAppUsers” to each Package.ini before generating your virtual application with Build.bat An end-user, Mr. Rini,  tries to hack the virtualized applications for home use. He knows about the existence of the Active Directory group called “ThinAppUsers”. In his private network at home he adds himself to an Active Directory group called “TESTLAB.LOCAL\ThinAppUsers”. Will Mr. Rini be able to hack the security and use the virtual applications?

Explanation

Mr. Rini will not be able to hack the security and use the virtual applications because the SID (Security Identifier) of the usergroup he added himself to in his private network is different from the SID of the "ThinAppUsers" group in the Active Directory at work. Even if the logon domain was the same, it still won't work because the SIDs are different.

Submit
16. Which feature is not part of the MSI function?

Explanation

The feature that is not part of the MSI function is generating objects for the right-click content menu.

Submit
17. Since which ThinApp version is compatibility and experimental support for Microsoft Windows 7?

Explanation

ThinApp 4.0.4 is the correct answer because it is the version that introduced compatibility and experimental support for Microsoft Windows 7. This means that ThinApp 4.0.4 is the first version that allowed users to use ThinApp on Windows 7, although it may still have some limitations or be in an experimental stage. ThinApp 4.0.3 and ThinApp 4.0.5 beta do not have this support, so they are not the correct answers.

Submit
18. ThinApp cannot virtualize:

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.

Submit
19. VMware ThinApp with default settings will place the sandbox in:

Explanation

VMware ThinApp with default settings will place the sandbox in the %Appdata%\Thinstall directory. This is the default location where ThinApp stores the sandbox, which is a virtualized environment where the application runs isolated from the host operating system. The %Appdata% variable represents the user's application data folder, which is typically located in the user's profile directory. Therefore, the correct answer is %Appdata%\Thinstall.

Submit
20. You are the ThinApp administrator for your company. While you just finished the build of an virtual application you experience that not all entrypoints are created in the BIN folder. What went wrong?

Explanation

During the build of the virtual application, the ThinApp administrator did not remove the "Disabled=1" line for the entrypoint that is causing the issue. This line is preventing the creation of all entrypoints in the BIN folder.

Submit
21. You want to change the default sandbox location for your virtualized application, which options do you have?

Explanation

The correct answer is that all of the options are true. You can change the default sandbox location for your virtualized application by creating an environment variable %Thinstall_Sandbox_Dir%, creating a subfolder called Thinstall, or adding "SandboxPath=" in your package.ini file.

Submit
22. You are currently debugging a virtualized application which you are deploying using the MSI function. You have made some corrections and made a new MSI with Build.bat While you are deploying the new MSI you experience that your corrections are not effective. What is the cause for this behavior?

Explanation

The reason for the corrections not being effective is that the MSI product code, upgrade code, or MSI product version were not changed. As a result, instead of upgrading the virtual application with the correction, the system is repairing it.

Submit
23. You have captured an application and moved the capture folder to a networkshare. After some time you need to change one value in the virtual registry, you do so. When you start Build.bat to generate a new virtualized application you receive an error. What should you do?

Explanation

Build.bat can't find ThinApp at two folder levels up (higher). This means that the Build.bat script is unable to locate the ThinApp application at the specified location in the network share. To resolve this issue, the user should ensure that the ThinApp application is located in the correct folder within the network share and that the Build.bat script is pointing to the correct location.

Submit
24. What is the difference between DirectoryIsolationMode=Full and DirectoryIsolationMode=WriteCopy?

Explanation

DirectoryIsolationMode=Full means that the application will not be able to see the local contents of the folder. This means that any files or directories within that folder will not be accessible to the application. On the other hand, DirectoryIsolationMode=WriteCopy will only write a copy of the files to the sandbox, allowing the application to still see and access the original files in the folder.

Submit
25. You are the ThinApp administrator for your company. You’ve created a virtual application called SillyApp with one modified line in Package.ini: SandboxPath=\\server007\sandbox\%username%\ The SandboxName is set to “SillyApp”. You want to change the sandbox location without rebuilding the capture, what could you do?

Explanation

The correct answer is "All these answers are true". This means that all of the listed options are valid ways to change the sandbox location without rebuilding the capture. Adding a subdirectory "Thinstall" or "SillyApp" are both valid options, as well as adding environment variables "THINSTALL_SANDBOX_DIR" or "SILLYAPP_SANDBOX_DIR" with the corrected value.

Submit
26. Which folders are default set to DirectoryIsolationMode=Merged after completing the Setup Capture?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
27. VMware ThinApp is an application virtualization technology which will primary virtualize these items:

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.

Submit
28. During the capture process, the application saves a file in “C:\Users\Aministrator\AppData\Local\ Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files” Where will ThinApp copy this file after the saving process?

Explanation

The correct answer is "%Internet Cache%". After the saving process, ThinApp will copy the file to the Internet Cache folder.

Submit
29. If you do not define RegistryIsolationMode in Package.ini what is it’s default value?

Explanation

If the RegistryIsolationMode is not defined in Package.ini, the default value is WriteCopy.

Submit
30. You want to virtualize an application which requires parameters to start its main process. Which option could you use?

Explanation

Adding "CommandLine=" in the package.ini file allows you to specify the parameters required to start the main process of the virtualized application. By including this option, you can ensure that the necessary parameters are passed when the application is launched.

Submit
31. You want to use the Application Sync update feature within ThinApp, what will you require?

Explanation

To use the Application Sync update feature within ThinApp, a webserver is required. This is because the update feature relies on the webserver to host and distribute the updated application files to the client machines. The webserver allows for easy access and downloading of the updated files, ensuring that the application stays up to date and synchronized across all devices.

Submit
32. 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?

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.

Submit
33. After completing the capture and snapshot saving process you want to modify the hosts file for the virtual application. Where will you find this file?

Explanation

The correct answer is %Drive_C%\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\. The hosts file is typically located in this directory, which is the system folder for Windows operating systems. It contains a mapping of hostnames to IP addresses and is commonly used to override DNS settings or block certain websites. The other options provided in the question are not valid locations for the hosts file.

Submit
34. You work for Contoso Ltd. and you are the ThinApp administrator for your company. Some end-users report that an application is behaving very odd. Their individual usersettings are changing randomly during the day. The application is virtualized with VMware ThinApp. You discover that during runtime the virtual application saves an INI-file on the network,  the path N:\StupidApp\usersettings.ini What should you do?

Explanation

By adding the line "SandboxNetworkDrives=1" to the package.ini file, it enables network drives to be sandboxed within the virtual application. This means that any changes made to the INI-file on the network will be isolated and not affect the individual user settings. This is the most appropriate solution to prevent the random changes in user settings that are occurring.

Submit
35. You want to exclude the “C:\example” directory in the snapshot scanning process (pre-scan, post-scan). What would you do?

Explanation

To exclude the "C:\example" directory in the snapshot scanning process, you would edit the snapshot.ini file.

Submit
36. After completing the Post-Scan during Setup Capture, ThinApp will save the information to the \Captures\  folder. What setting will be default to Newly created folders during the installation process?

Explanation

After completing the Post-Scan during Setup Capture, ThinApp will save the information to the \Captures\ folder. The default setting for newly created folders during the installation process is that they will have DirectoryIsolationMode=Full.

Submit
37. Where is the DirectoryIsolationMode function in Package.ini used for?

Explanation

The DirectoryIsolationMode function in Package.ini is used for isolating undefined or nonexistent folders in the application package. This means that if the application tries to access a folder that does not exist or is not defined in the package, the function will isolate it and prevent any errors or issues from occurring. This helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the application package by handling any potential folder-related problems.

Submit
38. You are the ThinApp administrator for your company. You are creating a virtual application and during tests you are receiving errors on application runtime. The errormessage is “cannot find ABC123.DLL”. Which action should you perform?

Explanation

The correct answer is to add a VBS script next to Build.bat with the AddForcedVirtualLoadPath function. This function allows you to specify additional directories where ThinApp should search for DLLs during runtime. By adding the VBS script with this function, you can ensure that ThinApp will be able to find the ABC123.DLL file and prevent the runtime errors.

Submit
39. Where is the PrimaryDataContainer primary used for?

Explanation

The PrimaryDataContainer primary is used to let Windows be able to extract the icon from the virtual application (entrypoints). This suggests that the primary data container is responsible for storing the necessary information for Windows to extract the icon from the virtual application.

Submit
40. You are the Administrator for your company’s network domain which consists of Windows XP desktops and Windows 2003 servers.The clients all have Office 2003 installed and your users are using Outlook 2003 to connect to your Exchange 2003 server, this scenario is working fine.
