Microsoft Application Virtualization Best Practices Analyzer

This came out of the blue (or perhaps I haven’t been paying attention). Here’s the Microsoft Application Virtualization Best Practices Analyzer:

The Application Virtualization (App-V) Best Practices Analyzer is a diagnostic tool that verifies configuration settings for a computer running a Microsoft Application Virtualization Streaming Server version 4.5 or Microsoft Application Virtualization Management Server version 4.5.
Feature Bullet Summary:

  • Scans Microsoft Application Virtualization Streaming Server
  • Scans Microsoft Application Virtualization Management Server
  • Reports warnings and guidance for configuration settings that should be adjusted
  • Produces an HTML report with all errors and warnings

It’s a command line tool that you’ll need to install and run on your Management or Streaming Server. To use this, you’ll first need to install the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer.

The Microsoft Application Virtualization Administrative Template (ADM Template) has also been released to the Downloads Centre, so if you haven’t been able to get a hold of it previously, now you can.
