Microsoft Application Virtualization Advanced Guide

By: Augusto Alvarez

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.

Troubleshooting App-V implementations


In this quest of troubleshooting and solving problems, our first stop is going to be the App-V implementations, starting with when we install the App-V component, common configurations, and then operating it.

But, as mentioned earlier in the chapter, before we start reviewing logs to understand what could be the problem, we should start checking the Microsoft guides about implementations.

This previous verification is important, since most of the problems we usually have with implementations are regarding prerequisites not completed.

In this section, we will take a look at:

  • Troubleshooting the App-V management server: installation and implementation problems

  • Troubleshooting the App-V client installation: common problems when we are trying to install the client component

Troubleshooting the App-V management server implementation

Having problems with the implementation of the App-V management server could be because of a component; we would require detailed analysis...
