Comingle App-V with SCCM?

[SRed]

Hi guys,

 

We're looking at spinning up App-v in our environment to handle some finnicky Office 32-bit addins that we use for some line of business applications in my organization.

 

My question : we've already got a working SCCM 2007 infrastructure, with SQL server and everything in place; is it possible to install App-V on a separate VM or even the same VM with SCCM and store the database for App-V in a separate instance on the same SQL server? Is this a bad idea?

 

Also, how big of a deal is it to setup App-v? I'm intrigued by the idea and would love to experiment with some additional Microsoft products, especially since we have the all-you-can-eat licensing agreement as it is.

 

Thanks!

When you are still looking at different options, you also might want to look at ConfigMgr 2007 R2/R3. These releases include support for App-V. Just keep in mind that it doesn't work/ react exactly the same as a separate App-V management server.

Thanks for the quick reply Peter!

 

We have SCCM R3 installed. How can I create App-V packages for it?

 

Do you have any good information on enabling the App-V role?

 

Nevermind, I just found all of your posts under the SCCM\AppV area.
