Overview of this book

Microsoft's Application Virtualization technology has been emerging as one of the main platforms in application virtualization. This is mainly because more and more organizations are thinking about application virtualization as a valid implementation; also because App-V represents probably the most attractive solution. App-V introduces a new and efficient way to improve operating systems and application life cycles in organizations. However, if we want to maximize our investment we must learn that every scenario and application differs from another, as does complexity.With Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide administrators will find detailed topics for understanding App-V components, architecture and implementation models; as well as step-by-step guidance to master App-V processes. There is also guidance on integrating App-V with other robust platforms like VDI, SCCM 2012 and even virtualizing server applications. Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide will start by giving readers the means to discover unfamiliar topics in App-V, as well as understanding App-V's architecture. By doing so, it will provide the baseline needed before shifting to advanced topics in App-V, like complex scenarios for sequencing and deploying applications. The book details scripting within App-V, as well as handling the platform using the command line; there is a complete review of troubleshooting installations, sequencing and deploying applications. Integration is another key component we will cover by introducing App-V in VDI and SCCM 2012. Server applications are not forgotten with Server App-V, using this book the reader will have a detailed understanding, with how-to steps to virtualize server applications.

Configuring and using the standalone mode


As we know, another great option, when we can't (or just won't) use an App-V Management Server, is the standalone mode.

Working in standalone mode, we don't need anything more than the App-V Desktop Client to stream the applications from a local resource (such as a folder on the client's computer) or from a remote resource (such as a file server available on the network).

Since there's no server in charge of the publication process, in standalone mode, App-V clients cannot be aware that there are new applications available. This gives us three possibilities for importing applications:

  1. Standalone without streaming: Here, we deploy the MSI file manually or using Group Policy. The MSI file contains the OSD and ICO files; in this scenario, the installer also uses the SFT file stored locally, on the client machine.

  2. Standalone with SMB streaming: Here, we deploy MSI files using only the manifest file, and we can have the SFT placed on a file server for SMB...
