Data & User Settings
Applications
Operating System
Windows Server 2008 R2 & Windows 7 SP1
Dynamic Memory RemoteFX
Demo
• RemoteFX
• Dynamic Memory
What is User State Virtualisation?
user settings over the network
locally cached copies of user data
redirected folders over the network
USV Benefits?
• Users not tied to personal computers
• Work when disconnected
• User data and settings centrally backed up
• Easier user migration
• IT Department has greater control over end user experience
Microsoft Application Virtualization is a virtualization solution that:
• Enables organizations to respond to the management challenge by providing the capability to make applications available to end-user computers without having to install the applications directly on those computers
What is Microsoft Application Virtualization?
App-V Sequencer
StandaloneMode (MSI)
Streaming Server (RTSP)
IIS Server (optional)(HTTP)
App-V Remote Desktop Services Desktop PC
Management Server Management Console Active Directory
SQL Server
App-V Workflow
Microsoft Case Study
Isle of Man found that it could use all of its existing client computing hardware with Windows 7 and that, because most of its applications were already virtualized with App-V, it did not have to remediate any application compatibility issues.
What is Remote Desktop Services?
• Session-based presentation virtualization segment of Microsoft’s virtualization technologies
• Enables centralized application management
• Provides connection brokering for VDI
Remote Desktop Session Hosts
RDSH
What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure?
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktops for individual users that can be fully customized based on user profiles
• Allows users to perform specialized tasks that require administrator access to their desktop
• Enables users to access their personalized desktop from any computer while retaining the last saved state
Personal Virtual
Desktop
What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure?
• Provides virtual machine-based, centralized desktop based on a pool of virtual machines that are shared by multiple users
• Allows users to perform standardized routine tasks and have access to common applications (such as Microsoft Office)
• Rolls back the state upon logoff to provide a “clean” desktop for the next user’s session, but the previous user’s state can be saved offline

What is Virtual PC, XP Mode and MED-V?
• Virtual PC– enables users to run multiple instances of
Windows on a single device.
• XP Mode– leverages Virtual PC and a preconfigured
Windows XP image to create a virtual Windows XP environment
• MED-V– is the management layer for IT
professionals on top of Virtual PC
Introducing MED-V v2
• Tight Integration with Windows 7 Features– Virtualization stack based on Windows Virtual PC
– Seamless integration between Host and Guest
– Optimized use of disk, memory, CPU, battery
– Automated guest hibernation at shutdown or when system idle
– USB device sharing
• Seamless Application Experience for End-Users– IE6 applications automatically redirected to the Guest
– Applications are automatically published from the Guest to standard locations in the Host start menu
– File type associations fully supported
– My Documents and Desktop mapping
– Automatic network printer syncing

What is Hyper-V?
• Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Applications get the resources they need when they need them
AvailabilityComprehensive capabilities including
Live Migration, Failover Clustering, and Site Recovery to minimize service
downtime
Demo
Tools
• MAP 5.5– is an agentless, automated, multi-product planning and assessment tool for quicker and
easier desktop and server migrations and upgrades
• Disk2VHD– I love this tool, takes a VSS snapshot then copies the disk to a VHD file
• P2V Migration for Software Assurance– Automate the deployment of Win7, images the XP client and deliver it back as XP Mode
guest?
• VMST 3.0 (Helps service offline virtual machines)– Offline virtual machines in a SCVMM library.– Stopped and saved state virtual machines on a host.– Virtual machine templates.– Offline virtual hard disks in a SCVMM library by injecting update packages.
