Also the WM App-V 5 deployment option is only available in the silver\gold editions of Workspace Manager where App-V Scheduler is available in a free community edition and can also be used with other UEM tools or even without UEM tools as well. App-V Scheduler also addresses the following challenges which are out of the scope of the RES WM deployment option : How does this feature compare with App-V Schedulerīecause WM uses a just in time deploy method that runs in the user context and App-V Scheduler deploys directly when the machine boots and based on a configurable timer or centrally controlled by App-V Scheduler Central View they cannot be really compared with each other. But one can ask itself if the user context is the right level to deploy the packages for their environment as it can take a while for the application to become available and it can cause numerous messages to your users that just want to launch the application as quickly as possible. Also it can be difficult to make use of new extension points in App-V 5 (like shell extensions and browser plugins) because the package isn’t deployed initially before it’s started for the first time. I don’t know any UEM products that has such deep integration with App-V 5 as RES Workspace Manager, RES was one of the first to integrate with App-V 5 and with the extended integration in SR2 there is now also a very easy way to (optionally) add and publish a package. In my opinion global publishing makes more sense in combination with UEM tools, because then you can manage the application the same way as they where installed natively (access and control etc) and you don’t have to publish the package for every user making it faster and less entries in the user registry.

This update process also happens in the user context when the user clicks on the application.
appv files in the folder of the package (and up to 2 subfolders below in the package folder), if WM finds a newer version of the package it will try to deploy it and will show the following message to the user : The Always use the latest version of the package option will instruct WM to scan the. When you select Full, the exact same process happens as with the minimal option, but the difference is the package gets 100% loaded (mounted in the background) when the application is launched. WM will add the package without using the mount option, so the package will be streamed just like how it’s configured during sequencing.Īfter the package is added and published the following message is displayed :Īfter the user clicks yes the application is launched, depending on the streaming settings of the package you may see the App-V progress bar notifying the application is getting streamed : When you select Minimal, WM will add and publish the App-V package when the user clicks on the application for the first time and will show the following message to the user : This option still makes use of the App-V 5 integration options in WM like the version variable (to detect the latest package version) and inject\capture user settings. When you select None, WM will not add and publish the package and you can use another delivery method like App-V Scheduler or the App-V native infrastructure for example to take care of the deployment.
