This blogpost contains links to information that can help you pass Microsoft exam 70-669. It's one of the Microsoft exams to show off you're App-V knowledge. And in this case also the other Microsoft Desktop Virtualization solutions.

Initial links about what is covered in the exam:

The official Microsoft page for exam 70-669. General exam information.

The official Microsoft Course which helps prepare for the exam. I just reviewed the course details.

TechExams website: A ton of links to all of the technology covered in the 70-669 exam. Good work from forum member Hyper-Me there.

Topic on the Microsoft Learning Forums:  Specifically the links to the Free E-book  and the MED-V videos are very useful. In case of the E-Book the Desktop Virtualization technologies are part of a good preparation for the exam as are the Hyper-V and RDS/VDI bits.

Technology specific:

Next is an overview of the links and information I used. I build, configured and tested almost all the technology in my test lab. A Microsoft TechNet Plus subscription comes in handy!

App-V

Because of my background with App-V, I didn't pay any attention to this during preparation for 70-669. But here are some great resources:

TechNet Virtual Labs: System Center under Application Virtualization: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/virtuallabs/bb539977

Search Virtual Labs for App-V on Microsoft Events website: https://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/SearchDisplay.aspx?culture=en-us#culture=en-us;kwdAny=app-v;eventType=4;searchcontrol=yes;s=1

AppVirtGuru: Specifically this post contains a ton of useful links to official and unofficial documentation on App-V: http://www.appvirtguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3471

MED-V, Virtual PC and XP Mode

The official MED-V website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/products/mdop/med-v.aspx

MED-V videos from the link mentioned in the beginning of this post: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1f0d3e54-25d1-4ec1-a844-3b508bd63ffa

I build and tested a MED-V environment using the Med-V Trial guide found on the official website: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/3/8/43841F85-472D-446C-8B7E-1E41C8C59F8F/MED-V%20TrialGuide.pdf

Additional MED-V info on TechNet:

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization Planning, Deployment, and Operations Guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff433567.aspx

Windows 7 XP Mode:

The Understanding Microsoft Virtualization Solutions (Second Edition) E-Book contains very good information on XP Mode: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2010/02/16/free-ebook-understanding-microsoft-virtualization-r2-solutions.aspx

Regarding Virtual PC and Virtual PC 2007, and their differences, this is covered in the free E-Book. The MED-V and XP Mode paragraphs provide more information on VPC.

Also I found the following link: Deploying Windows XP Mode

RDS, RemoteApp and VDI

I mainly used the TechNet Library to prepare for the RDS, RemoteApp and VDI parts of the exam:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd647502(WS.10).aspx

I read the info from, and build my test lab as described in,  the Getting Started section. I skipped the RemoteFX part since that wasn't available yet.

User State Virtualization

Most of you will already know what this is about:

Roaming Profiles, Folder Redirection and Offline files. These are quite commonly used, here are some links:

Folder Redirection Overview: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732275.aspx

Read Installation and Configuration on Microsoft TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb740747.aspx

In all cases, get hands on experience if you don't have that already.
