I posted a new White Paper on a new site called PaperShare today. The site was created by two people I know quite well, David Greschler (one of the Softricity Founders and until recently at Microsoft) and Doug Brown (known for his dabcc.com website).
PaperShare is only in Beta right now, but I am excited at how they are combining …
A year ago I released XenApp Publishing Extensions 2.0 for use with XenApp 4.5 and 5.0. This free GUI based tool simplifies App-V virtualized application publishing for XenApp. The tool used the traditional mfcom interface for working with XenApp, and did not work with XenApp 6.
Today, I am releasing version 3.0 for use with XenApp 6. While the front …
In our App-V Masters Level Training Classes we invite students to bring in some of their own “interesting” applications to sequence.

You don’t need the updated client to use SP1 sequenced packages, but it is an option. Supposedly the client was mostly about rolling up hotfixes, but we know that there must be changes to support the upcoming SCCM 2012 …
We held our first training class on Microsoft App-V 4.6 SP1 last week in Malmo, Sweden. During the class, we ran into an “old friend” that entered the room using a new disguise. Although we thought he died, our friend the duplicate GUID still lives on. To explain…
When application packages are sequenced with App-V, a package GUID (Globally Unique …
