AVDCG and AVSS Updates
While everyone knows about the AppV_Manage tool, used for testing new App-V Packages, many either do not know or have forgotten about two of the other tools.

Coming Soon: Generate Package Documentation with AppV_Manage
Coming Soon! In version 4.0 of AppV_Manage, we will have an optional (paid for) feature to generate package documentation in Microsoft Word format.

Why our App-V Training Classes are Finally Upgraded to “Masters” Level
When App-V 5 was released two years ago, I blogged about how we were renaming our training classes as “Experts” level, rather than the Masters Level designation that we used for the App-V 4.6 classes.
The idea was that while I had been working with pre-releases for almost a year, I knew that we didn’t know enough about the …
App-V 5.0 Sp3 Upgrade: Clear Browser Cache to clear issue on Server MC upgrade
Just in case this bites someone else…
An upgrade of App-V Server to 5.0 SP3 includes a replacement Management Console. As this is Silverlight based, this means that the website delivers a Silverlight XAP file to your browser. Where it remains in your browser cache.
