Course Overview
You were made to learn how to configure security, redundancy, and scalability. By constructing and fusing App Layers and Workspace Environment Management, which can speed up logon times, centralise user settings management, and enhance the performance of devices running the Virtual Delivery Agent, you will learn advanced features to optimise the management of your app and desktop images (VDA).
The part on advanced troubleshooting will teach you how to look into a variety of frequent environmental health problems. After taking this course, you'll be well-equipped to manage more intricate solutions, like multi-zone setups spread across several locations with configurations centred on StoreFront, Delivery Controllers, and HDX.
