Getting a data-set to visualise the connectivity between systems, enabling a clearer understanding of how systems are interacting.

An example to show the capabilities of FsLogix Redirection Rules and how they can be used to add configuration capabilities to your Installed Application estate.

The free tool from Amberreef allows you to create a set of FsLogix FXR rules from App-V packages files. You can create a rule for the managing the App-V package when distributed to users Globally, or create a rule to mask the application as an installed application.

I was reading James Rankin's article the other day on the train and what struck me was the effort that was needed to get "User-File-Types" deployed.

This article attempts to demonstrate the capabilities of the AD&M article series.

This is a small collection of PowerShell scripts that I have put together that I use when working with App-V: Clear-AppVCache.ps1 GetCacheInfo.ps1 GetPackagesInConnectionGroups.ps1 PackagesPercentLoaded.ps1

Background In AD&M Part 3 we looked at how to create FsLogix rules for App-V Packages. Obviously the beauty of FsLogix is that it is also for Installed Apps. What you don’t get with FsLogix is a heavy management framework (hence it is ideal for this series of articles covering infrastructure free deployment), and distribution of the Rules are based on mechanisms that you might have in house already. One option is to distribute these rules along with the application/package. If you distribute t...

FsLogix is a new way to manage application visibility and availability on a per user basis by creating a set of rules for the applications. For locally installed applications it enables you to make the application invisible to a user that is not granted permissions to use it. If you have not yet looked at the product I would recommend you do so. If you are interested in more information then please Contact Us.

Background The App-V Deployment and Management script I am going to describe here was largely the result of an engagement (See AD&M Part 1 for and overview) where the customer wanted to introduce a minimal number of solutions. If you are reading this article and interested in delivering your App-V packages without needing any infrastructure, I would recommend you also take a look at App-V Scheduler. It is a great solution and also fits into the capabilities described in the AD&M Part 1.....

A recent engagement set out a scenario which I will uses as the basis for this blog. The scenario sounded very familiar and had many attributes that I have seen a number of times and it made me think. Is there a boxed “Solution” that could be used that would address all of these issues?
