The Client Book!!!!!

"The Client Book", which is all about the App-V Client, has been released at last. The first book written exclusively about the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) product. This book provides an in-depth look into the App-V Client.

Written by Microsoft Most Valueable Professionals (MVPs) for App-V, Tim Mangan and Kevin Kaminski, this book is a culmination of years of work with the product. This 230+ page book represents the most complete reference to all aspects of the client.

App-V 4.6 SP1 Sequencer Flow Logic Diagram (an ePub E-Book in PDF format)

The new App-V 4.6 SP1 Sequencer uses task oriented questions and skip/customize style questions to streamline the sequencing process. This logic flow chart shows what wizard pages appear (or not) based upon those choices. A good portable reference to understand the new wizard, especially for "old hands" at sequencing that are used to alwways having their options.

An e-book in PDF format, you can view this on any device.

App-V OSD Reference Book (an ePub E-Book)

A portable reference guide for the OSD syntax. For years our OSD Illustrated has been the go-to documentation guide for the OSD syntax. Now, we have a real (although unofficial) reference guide. Written in the epub format, it should be readable on most readers that supports ePub (possibly except Kindle).

App-V Database Schema for 4.6/4.5 (a PDF E-Book)

We sometimes hand out this poster to people taking our Masters Level App-V Training Classes and it is quite a popular item. People often ask for extra copies, so we are making it available online.

This is a hi-res PDF, and it is suitable for printing to a 22x38.5 inch poster. The drawing organizes the schema of the database used by the full App-V infrstructure server in a logical way. We provide this so that you can write custom reports for application, user, and server usages, and more.

The schema drawing was created originally by us to help us develop some custom tools to manage the App-V Server. Although those tools (PimpMy) are no longer offered, we have been keeping the drawing up to date with product changes.

App-V Database Schema for 4.2/4.1 (a PDF E-Book)

This is an older version of the same poster, for those running 4.1 and 4.2.
