This Trial 1uide is designed to help s$stem administrators 6uic&l$ set up a limited )icrosoft7 pplication

Virtuali8ation 9pp-V: evaluation in a test environment. This guide details the steps necessar$ to install

)icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation server components for #oth )icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation

)anagement 'erver and )icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation 4u#lishing 'erver. The s$stem administrator

will #e a#le to successfull$ install )icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation es&top lient, pu#lish the shortcuts

of se6uenced applications, and then stream and run these virtual applications on pp-V clients. The

administrator will also learn to virtuali8e a select set of applications using the )icrosoft pplication

Virtuali8ation 'e6uencer.

To help this process flow as smoothl$ as possi#le, this guide should #e read carefull$ #efore installing the

)icrosoft pp-V platform.

)icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation ena#les the administrator to deplo$, update, and support applications

as services in real time, on an as-needed #asis. 3hen pp-V is used, individual applications are

transformed from locall$ installed products into centrall$ managed services. pplications #ecome

availa#le ever$where the$ need to #eCno computer pre-configuration or changes to operating s$stem

settings are re6uired. )icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation consists of the following components;

Micro6o5t Appication &irtai9ation Mana:ement Ser7er

The pp-V )anagement 'erver provides a centrali8ed location to manage the pp-V 5.0 infrastructure for

delivering virtual applications to #oth the pp-V es&top lient and the !emote es&top 'ervices

9formerl$ Terminal 'ervices: lient. The pp-V )anagement 'erver uses )icrosoft '2" 'erver 7 for its

data store, where one or more pp-V )anagement servers can share a single '2" 'erver data store.

The pp-V )anagement 'erver authenticates re6uests and provides the securit$, metering, monitoring,

and data gathering re6uired #$ the administrator. The server uses ctive irector$ and supporting tools to

manage users and applications.

The pp-V )anagement 'erver has a 'ilverlight7-#ased management site, which ena#les administrator

configuration of the pp-V infrastructure from an$ computer. D$ using this site, administrators can add

and remove applications, manipulate shortcuts, assign access permissions to users and groups, and

create connection groups. The pp-V )anagement 'erver is the communication conduit #etween the

pp-V 3e# )anagement onsole and the '2" 'erver data store. These components can all #e installed

on a single server computer, or on one or more separate computers depending on the re6uired s$stem

architecture. Eor more information on planning and pp-V infrastructure review

Micro6o5t Appication &irtai9ation Se?encer

The pp-V 'e6uencer is a wi8ard-#ased tool that administrators use to transform traditional applications

into virtual applications. The 'e6uencer produces the application “pac&age,” which consists of several

files. These files include a se6uenced application 944V: file, a 3indows Installer file 9)'I: that can #e

deplo$ed to clients configured for standalone operation, and several /)" files including !eport./)",

Tria S@6tem Re?irement6

The following section lists the computer s$stems used for this evaluationH detailed installation steps are

provided later in the document. This document demonstrates setting up an pp-V 5.0 infrastructure with

3indows '4+, 3indows 'erver *00A !*, and '2" 'erver *00A !* as the$ are the most common at

the time this document was written. "oo& for updates to this document that include 3indows A, 3indows

Important: This trial is designed to explore the features of Microsoft Application Virtualization.

This document was not designed for evaluating how Microsoft Application Virtualization should

be implemented in a production environment. As such, it is strongly recommended that the trial is

implemented in a test lab environment using nonproduction, ph!sical or virtual machines,

following the exact configurations described in this guide.

"ote: #o not loc$ down an! components of the computers, and do not tr! to reuse standard

operating s!stem images.

The core roles for managing the AppV 8.2 environment are all hosted on the same machine in

the Trial 9uide, as it is intended for testing onl!. In production environments, it is recommended

to split these roles between several different hosts.

se(uencing 1bit applications for deliver! to 56bit clients. ;hen se(uencing 56bit applications,

the! must be se(uenced on a 56bit &' and can onl! be delivered to 56bit clients. This guide will

use ;indows < nterprise '*= 41bit7.

#o not install 'ilverlight or ."et 6.2, these applications will be installed in the Trial 9uide.

single ph$sical computer that meets the s$stem re6uirements of this trial. nsure that the minimum

hardware re6uirements for each operating s$stem are met for each s$stem.

+igure =: Application Virtualization trial in an isolated networ$

In this trial, it is important to set up )icrosoft pplication Virtuali8ation in a test la#, completel$ separate

from a production networ&. The purpose of this evaluation is to ac6uire #asic experience with the pp-V

platform. n$ 6uestions relating to integration into a production environment, such as securit$ concerns

and enterprise-level design should #e addressed later. In addition, this guide covers onl$ #asic platform

The 'e6uencer computer must meet the same minimum re6uirements as )icrosoft pplication

however, a ph$sical computer with a clean image on a local partition can #e used to ena#le rapid re-

imaging after each pac&age se6uencing operation has #een completed.

NOTE: Always sequence 32-bit applications on a 32-bit sequencing OS. This includes
