AppV_DeployApp, AppV_PublishApp, and AppV_ManagePackages
Problem:
You want to deploy apps to a Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Session Host,
but don't want to install the full infrastructure
and need per-user publishing and "Active Upgrade" capabilities...
OR you want to deploy apps once in a VDI master image (shared link clone) without a full infrastructure and with those capabilities...
OR you just want the fastest and easiest way to test newly sequenced applications.
Answer:
AppV_DeployNPublish are FREE tools that allow the features you need without the extra back-end servers.
All you need is a file share to store your packages, and these tools installed at the client.
If you need per-user shortcut/FTA publishing, then add an Active Directory OU to hold AD Security Groups for your Virtual Applications.
That's it!
The FREE version of these tools are great for a "greenfield" deployments of App-V that can follow the expected naming conventions.
Enterprises wishing to convert their existing deployment may want to request a customized version of these tools
so that existing OU or Content Shares may be used without modification.
