Both Agents are now included as part of Windows

22. Out of Box Components
App-V Publishing Components (Infrastructure) still out of box (5.1 Server)
App-V Sequencer and the UE-V Template Generator now part of the Windows 10 ADK

23. Evergreen Windows Experience

26. Package Management
One of the first decisions that needs to made is how to publish your packages?
Packages can be broken down into two categories:
Global / Machine Applications
Office 2013 / 2016
Adobe Reader DC
Firefox
Etc…
User Applications
Beyond Compare
Notepad++
WinSCP
Etc…

27. Windows 10 OS Migration
What are the general build related failures?

28. .NET Framework
A lot of “old” applications still require older versions of .NET in the build
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

29. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes

30. Upgrading to Windows 10 Anniversary 
Windows 10 Enterprise and Education SKU’s only supported
Windows 10 THx Pro to Windows 10 Anniversary Pro removes existing App-V and UE-V Client

31. UE-V Post Upgrades Caveats
UE-V Custom Configuration Retained
Template Path Mismatch

32. UE-V Sizing and Capacity Planning

33. UE-V Sizing & Capacity Planning
“Sledgehammer” Approach
Network Loads can be planned according to known UE-V Sync Triggers
Approach
Size
By Average PKGX Size (Registry)
10K-15K
By Average PKGDAT Size (File)
100K-200K
By Average Total User Size
20MB

34. Which UE-V Sync Method? SyncProvider (Default) None External
Target Experience:
Gold Standard for physical devices
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Streamed Apps
Physical devices for outside firewall
Local Cache for disconnected scenarios
No local cache
Always connected servers
(In Datacenters)
Local Cache managed by OneDrive for Business, Workfolders, etc
Synchronization on triggers and heartbeat
Synchronization on triggers only
Timeouts ensure optimal experience
NO timeouts
(Assume golden connectivity)
(Assume Local connectivity)
Eventual settings synchronization
Near real time settings synchronization
More Info:

35. Granular Approach Application Type Size Range Examples
Small App (PKGX Only)
2k – 15k
7Zip, Notepad
Typical Application
100k – 200k
Adobe Reader, Paint.NET
Large Applications / App Suites
2MB – 4MB
Office, Firefox, UltraEdit
Windows Settings
Desktop Settings, Themes, EOA, CMD / PoSh env IE
200 – 400k
Common Plus specific Version
*Remember that VDI State Preservation Doubles total size.

36. Good vs. Bad Templates
Good Template
Bad Template

37. Template Design and Effects on Performance
Everything should not roam
Not everything within the OS was designed to roam
Unsupported Template items
Certain settings require custom actions (Outlook Signatures)

38. Why Elements Aren’t Supported
Shortcuts: No Guarantee of Path Match or Software Availability
IE Elements (Cookies, EMIE Cache, etc.)
Run (MRU) history
