On the Virtualization with Hyper-V Technical Resources page, Microsoft has posted the “Virtual Hard Disk Performance White Paper.” This paper contains information about the performance implications of operations that use a differencing disk with Hyper-V, as well as the pro and cons of using differencing disks. All the information in this document is relevant to using differencing disks within a Virtual
Symptoms The Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.5 Management Server may appear to run out of available licenses and clients may receive the following error: You are not authorized to access this resource. Error code: 0A-20000193 Cause The stored procedure sp_SFTclosesessions in the management server database is used to close orphaned sessions, license sessions, application usage and licenses assignments that are
Summary Microsoft, in lab environment, is able to achieve more than 10,000 individual virtual machine (VM) run-time connections over a two-hour period. These tests show the range of scale possible with Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker). Within the connection process, the overall time measured is overwhelmingly determined by the VM start and protocol connection time. RD Connection Broker
Symptoms A virtualized application on an App-V client fails to launch with the following error: The Application Virtualization Client could not launch application name. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Error code: xxxxxxx-xxxxxx2A-0000274D Cause This issue can occur if the HREF attribute in the application .osd file is configured to use the RTSPS protocol
One advantage of the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Sequencer is the capability of running via the command line. This allows for automating the sequencing of applications which do not require any special customizations in their guidelines or “recipes” for sequencing. The upgrading of a package can also be automated using the command line sequencer. The documentation for upgrading a package
After sequencing RSSOwl 2.x with Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) you may be able to launch RSSOWL during the monitoring and the launch phase, however after the second launch (and subsequent launches) the application fails to start with an application-specific error: “There are no more files” Cause This occurs due to a sharing violation with the initial configuration file and the
Microsoft released App-V 4.6 for RDS Whitepaper. This whitepaper discusses the benefits, configurations and considerations when planning a Microsoft® Windows Server® Remote Desktop Services solution with Microsoft Application Virtualization. You can download the whitepaper here.
Just a quick heads-up that the Application Virtualization Sequencing SuperFlow has been released. So what’s a SuperFlow? Think flowchart, but cooler and better. The SuperFlow series “is an interactive content model that provides a structured and interactive interface for viewing documentation.” The App-V SuperFlow that we just released visually maps out the sequencing process, and each section provides the relevant
Microsoft has introduced a new MMC snap-in tool called Remote Desktop Connection Manager in Windows Server 2008 R2 for managing the in-box VDI solution from Microsoft. In this blog, I will explain how you can specify various RDP settings for the virtual desktops published using this tool. You can specify a different set of RDP settings for each type of virtual
