App-V








Description of Application Virtualization





  • Deployed in real-time to any client from a virtual application server.


  • It removes the need for local installation of the applications.



    • updates with no user interruptions




  • Streamed or locally cached from the application server on demand and run locally.



    • No reboots




  • Does not make changes to the client itself (OS File System and/or Registry).


  • App-V applications are also sandboxed from each other, so that different versions of the same application can be run under App-V concurrently.


  • Centralized installation and management of deployed applications.


  • Policy based access control; administrators can define and restrict access to the applications.


  • Moving to a new PC or a new version of Windows? Simply sign on to your new computer and your applications are available on demand


  • Track application licensing and meter usage.


  • Integrates with System Center Configuration Manager

SCCM Unknown computer not able to see Task Sequences after installing Current Branch 1702

Soon after installing SCCM CB 1702 we were unable to see Task Sequences deployed to the unknown collection. This issue was identified as a random system taking the GUID of the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record.
