NOTE In my example below I am sequencing the Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Admin Console for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1. 1. Follow the best practices for the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351420.aspx 2. Build your clean sequencing system with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and join it to the domain. 3. Install .NET 4 full version on the Sequencer machine (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851). 4. Copy the Tools folder from your ConfigMgr 2012 central site server to the sequencing machine and place it in the following path: C:\Program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Tools NOTE This is used for sequencing ConfigMgr 2012 Version 5.00.7711.0000 and build 7711 5. Install the App-V 4.6 SP1 Sequencer with Hotfix 8 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2761558) 6. Launch the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer and select Create New Virtual Application Package. 7. Select the Create Package (Default) option and click Next. Note that Prepare the Computer for Creating a Virtual Package may give the Warning "Windows Defender is active". If so, launch the Services.msc snap-in and stop the Windows Defender service. After doing so, click Refresh and then click Next. 7. Select the Standard Application (default) option and click Next. 8. On the Select Installer screen, browse to the Tools folder and select ConsoleSetup.exe, then click Next. 9. Name the package ConfigMgr2012Console, leave other options as the defaults and click Next. 10. Once the ConfigMgr installation screen appears, click Install Configuration Manager 2012 and click Next. 11. Type the FQDN of the Central Site server name and click Next. 12. Leave the Destination Folder as the default (e.g. C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager Console\) and click Next. 13. Click Install and wait for the installation to complete, then click Finish. 14. Now the ConfigMgr 2012 console will launch. Verify that everything functions properly and exit from the console. 15. Select the I am finished installing option and click Next. 16. Select the ConfigMgr console and run it. After launching the console close it. Click Next to review the installation report and click Next when you're done. 17. Select the Customize option and click Next. 18. If you would like to remove the "Remote Control View" then right-click and remove it. 19. Click Next and then Run All. Once the console launches completely, verify the settings and exit the console. 20. Select the Target OS, click Next and then select Create the Package. The package will be saved as ConfigMgr2012Console. 21. Copy the package to the App-V management content share. 22. Follow the normal procedure to import the package into your App-V Management server. 23. Verify that the console is published to the App-V users. 24. Ensure that the .NET 4 full version is installed on the App-V clients as it is a prerequisite for console. 25. Make sure that the App-V clients have the latest hotfix installed (e.g. 4.6.1.30151). 26. Ensure that you have the required permissions and connectivity to the Site server. If all steps are followed correctly then the client should be able to launch the Configuration Manager console successfully.

| Adding App-V 4.6 redundancy to live system Posted: 08 Jan 2013 04:57 AM PST Hi I've inherited a problem whereby I need to build redundancy into an existing App-V 4.6 SP1 infrastructure. The person who put this in place (who's now left the company) setup a single 2k8 R2 server hosting both the App-V Management Console and the App-V Streaming Server with a remote SQL database. It seems this was initially put in for testing purposes but a small number of applications have ended up being deployed to live end-users (great). The database is backed up but at present there is zero redundancy for the Management Server and Streaming Server. Packages are being streamed via RTSP and all packages have the hostname of the existing App-V server hard-coded in the OSDs. The App-V clients are configured via the ADM template to point to the existing App-V server. The (rough) plan is to build a second 2k8 R2 server, replicate the content store via DFS, then install the Management Server and Streaming Server (pointing at the existing database) on the second box. Windows NLB will then be used to provide redundancy. The challenge is that I need to implement this with minimal disruption to the existing users. In order to use NLB I'm thinking I'm going to have to write a script to find the entries for the existing App-V server in all the OSD files and replace with the hostname for the new NLB host (on a copy of the content share). The AppV client group policy object will then need to be re-configured to point to the NLB host. I'm just trying to get straight in my head the best order of doing things with minimal impact, or is there a better way of approaching it entirely? Any suggestions greatly appreciated Thanks  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| New to App-V - A couple of questions Posted: 07 Jan 2013 08:19 PM PST I am looking to deploy APP-V and I would like some broad advice on pit falls and things you would reconsider if you did it again etc. Also broad step in fresh set up, what should my sequence for set up be. I am running Server 2008r2 and SCCM 2007SP2 with Win7 64bit Clients. Running a virtual XP app on a windows 7 client? Am I in the right ball park here, will APP-V do that? Thanks in advance, you may hear from me a number of times over the next few weeks as I get this working.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
