Leveraging Sequencer DiagnosticsEfficient sequencing and effective troubleshooting
Sequencing GuidelinesGood candidates for virtualization
Almost all applications are good candidates!
Sequencing GuidelinesCandidates needing assistance to virtualize
Follow sequencing best practices
Deploy at runtime or in image
Use DSC to add plug-ins
Interface with systemDevice driversSystem software
Use non-virtualized extensibility pointsShell extensionsApp or system plug-ins
Embed state or dependenciesCustom configuration

Linking Packages with Dynamic Suite Composition
Dynamic Suite CompositionIncreased flexibility managing applications
BenefitsIndependent ServicingIndependent Deployment
Target ScenariosPlug-ins, Middleware, Shared Components“Small” Dependent Applications
FeaturesMultiple Packages in Same Virtual Environment

Package Accelerators
Quickly converting complex applications into App-V packages
demo
Applying a Package Accelerator

Using Package AcceleratorsThe key activities of producing a package
Procure Package Accelerator
Follow Guidance
Convert into Package
Configure Package (opt)
BenefitsWhy Package Accelerators save time
No monitoring stepsNo recipe stepsReduced testing
Application FilesSpecifying where the Sequencer will find application files
Install media
No monitoringSequencer will extract application files from original installation media
.CAB
.ZIP
.MSIStand-alone files/directories
.EXEs need to be expanded
Local installation files
No monitoringSequencer will locate files from locally installed application
Install application to default location (C:\Program Files\...)
Common Questions
Will Microsoft be releasing Package Accelerators?Yes
Can I create my own Package Accelerators?Yes
When will the 4.6 SP1 Sequencer be available?First quarter of Calendar 2011 (MDOP 2011)
Introducing App-V 4.6 SP1
•Simplified packaging experience•Actionable diagnostic messages•Step-by-step guidance for common tasksEasy•Convert applications directly to App-V with ISV or Community-provided Package Accelerators•Reuse common settings and configurations with Templates•Reduce/Eliminate the App-V packaging learning curve
Fast
•App-V packaging is a consistent, reproducible process•Built-in best practices•Improved command-line scripting
