Local Desktop Virtual Desktop Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Anywhere Productivity Access to applications on any device without installs Avoid Business Disruptions Log in to retrieve applications and restore productivity Accelerate Deployment Faster provisioning of virtual applications on demand Reduce application testing time End Point How does it Work? App-V 5.0

App-V 5.0 Design Goals Achieved Increased Integration SFTTray.exe not required Local storage of Virtual File System (VFS) Simplified Troubleshooting Increased Flexibility Virtual Application Connection Groups Virtual Application Extensions Co-existence with previous version (4.6 SP2) Increased Manageability Flexible deployment Enable full support automation Provide a Unified Experience App-V 5.0

Citrix Partnership

XenApp and Microsoft Integration

XenApp and Microsoft App-V integration

XenDesktop 7 Integration with App-V 5.0

Benefits of App-V & Citrix o App-V 5 Shared Content Store is perfect for non-persistent desktops o Citrix XenApp 6.5 integration with Microsoft Configuration Manager 2012 o Deploy App-V 5 apps with SCCM 2012, PowerShell, GPO or as stand alone o Run multiple versions of the same application on the same server. No more need for silos o Run the same App-V 5 package on various platforms o App-V 5 Sequencer Ease of use. Let the Application Managers be responsible for their software

App-V 5.0 and XenApp 6.5 Integration can still be accomplished Known Issues Publishing Process Length issues Custom Integration (AppPaths with ShellExecute) Profile Management/User Profile Disk configuration

Using Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 Metadata about the application, information that is used to display the application in the Portal Deployed to machine and user collections Contains a set of Deployment Types Adobe Reader (MSI) Application (e.g. Adobe Reader) Adobe Reader (App-V) Adobe Reader (APPX/ Windows Store Link) Deployment Types Windows Installer (MSI) App-V Windows Script Windows Mobile (CAB) Nokia (SISX) XenApp (to be released) Windows app packages (APPX/Windows Store Link) App-V 5.0 XenApp (with XenApp Connector – to be released) Deployment Types

App-V in Configuration Manager 2012 What has Changed? New Application Model User Centric Features o Instant Icon Gratification for unlock events o Application Virtual Environments o Integration with Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to target user sessions on RDS servers o Content Improvements o Streaming Improvements o Reduce virtual app footprint when using Download and execute o Integration requires App-V 4.6 SP2 or 5.0 Client o Enable support for application dependencies o Improved update behaviors o Selective publishing of components o Dynamic Suite Support

Microsoft Application Virtualization in Configuration Manager SP1

Application Web Catalog Administrators publish software titles to catalog, complete with metadata to enable search Deliver best user experience on each device Users can browse, select and install directly from Catalog Application model determines format and policies for delivery IT Admin App-V User “Available” deployments enable user invocation from the Application Web Catalog including administrator approval prior to publishing App-V and traditional applications.

Virtual Application Connection  App-V Packages can be deployed in multiple Virtual Application Connection Groups  Configuration is separate from the packages Next Generation DSC  Create and configure via Server User Interface or PowerShell  Know the dependencies Integrated with App- V Management Server and ConfigMgr  Applications + Plugins  Applications + Middleware  Applications + Applications Supported Configurations  Can use PowerShell to create and manage Manage in Standalone Mode
