Sequencing Applications using Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0

Module 1: Introducing the Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencing Process

This module describes the key concepts behind Application Sequencing in a Microsoft Application Virtualization environment. The student will learn the key components of a package, what applications can and cannot be sequenced and how packages are delivered to the client. We also take a look at how the App-V client software interacts with the package and how to control it using PowerShell. The module finishes by building a sequencing workstation.
Lab 1: Deploying a Package to the App-V client and examining file locations and client options.
Lab 2: Installing the Application Virtualization 5.0 Sequencer.

Module 2: Creating an Application Virtualization Package.

This module starts by discussing the sequencer options and how they influence the package being built. We then go through the detailed steps of creating a package, the importance of create a template file and finally we examine all of the package editing options.
Lab 3: Sequencing applications.
In this lab we will sequence a number of basic applications and examine the outcome.

Module 3: Advanced Sequencing Techniques.

This module examines some advanced sequencing options

• Opening a Package for editing
• Package branching
• Application Connections with Connection groups.
• Integration Points

Shortcuts and FTA's
Shell Extension
Browser Plugins and the Helper Object
And More….

• Package Accelerators
• Using Dynamic Configuration files
• Scripting
• Automating with PowerShell

Lab 3 Advanced sequencing.

Module 4: Diagnosing and troubleshooting Techniques Workshop

This last module is delivered in the style of a workshop. We will discover techniques to view the world as the 'bubble' sees it and explore tools that can be used to help identify the causes of programs to fail. The lab time will give the students the opportunity to uses these tools against some troublesome applications.
Lab 4. Troubleshooting Workshop.
In this lab we will explore ways of breaking into the 'bubbles' and examine some tools that can be useful in diagnosing issues. You will then be given the opportunity to sequence some more challenging applications and use your newly acquired skills to debug and correct them.
