Who This Book Is For

If you have some experience with App-V but are overwhelmed by the range of features on offer, then this book is for you. A basic understanding of App-V and common Windows Server technologies (Active Directory/Group Policy/PowerShell) is necessary.

What You Will Learn

  • Deploy a full App-V infrastructure
  • Deploy App-V clients and prerequisites
  • Leverage connection groups to combine App-V packages

  • Resolve issues with your deployment quickly
  • Customize App-V packages to your needs
  • Scale out your App-V infrastructure to accommodate increasing requirements

In Detail

With an ever-increasing number of applications being deployed in the workplace, Microsoft App-V 5 enables administrators to abstract these applications from the clients, which reduces the time to complete the software deployment lifecycle.

The book starts with the deployment of a scalable App-V infrastructure and progresses on to cover the sequencing of common applications. In later chapters, you will discover integrations with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, Citrix® XenDesktop®, and Microsoft System Centre Configuration Manager. Finally, you will learn to leverage the App-V reporting server along with Microsoft Office Excel and pivot tables to gain insights on which applications are being used, along with how to troubleshoot issues with your deployment.
