HI guys after a bit of help understanding Appv Applications and how supersedence works. The majority of our machines gets Application A via AppV during build time. Now when it comes to upgrading these can I simply use supersedence to upgrade these? Even though they haven't been advertised to as such, as they got the install at build time? I'm just wondering how people manage it from there on in? I have seen a few posts regarding re advertising Application A to all systems (if its installed anyway no action taken) then create the update application and set it to supersede. Thanks in Advance Jas

Hi guys, struggling with this one hence the post. Does anyone have a report to show the timezone for a collection?

Hi guys, im sure this has been covered before but I cannot find the definitive answer im looking for. So, where i work we have a bare metal TS which does a format and partition to cover us for Bitlocker pre provisioning. This works great and we can build machines no problem. We have been asked to look at USMT and previously I have used hard linking with great success, however this was some time ago now and im a little rust on the subject. I really don't want to have multiple task sequences to manage so any help to get this all working within one would be great. With our existing TS as stated we use bitlocker pre-provisioning which requires a separate partition for the bitlocker steps. When using hardlinking we obviously don't want to format the drive as we will loose the user state data. How are people managing this? We must do the partitioning steps for bitlocker however in the refresh scenario we cant do this. eeeek help ;0) Im sure there are many of your out there that have come across this and have a method to cover all based within one TS. Any help is hugely appreciated. Jason

Hi guys. I'm after either a powershell script with output file or SQL for SRSS so I can get a list of all DPs and what their Rate limits are set to, can anyone help?

I can see the following take a bit of time to install, 10 - 15 mins for each MovieMaker Smart_NB_15.exe The rest look ok to be honest, I can see the apps starting to install at 12:19 ish at 13:22. But there seems to be constant work going on during this time and nothing that jumps out as causing an issue. Are the packages themselves big? IE the source files? One thing you could do to speed the process up is to bundle them into your OS.wim, not always ideal but apps that don't need updating/patching and that are "core" apps can be handled like this. Just an option to reduce your build time. Also good practise to bundle the up to date MS patches in the wim also as these can take a looooong time to install.

Great thanks, could you let me know the start and end time of the build just so I can work out whats happening where?

Thanks for your help mate managed to fudge my way through it with the existing reports ;0)

If you mean the OS count report its not quite what im after, that counts each revision I just want a flat OS count if that makes sense.

Also the logs wont be of much use, grab the logs from the ccm\logs directory (speficically the Appdiscovery and APP enforce if these timeouts are due to slow Application installation rather than packages)

Just a thought but have you tested each application and see if they actually work and complete in a timely manner in the OS? If theyre timing out id say there is an issue with the applications. Maybe test each application at at time, then add them back to the TS one by one and see what happens.

SRSS Windows 7 Vs XP report needed can anyone help? Id like to create a report with pie chart for these two OS versions. Ideally witouth service pack version, just flat OS, can anyone assist? Ill be able to do the pie chart so just the SQL query is required. Many thanks in Advance
