anyweb 478 Posted August 4, 2009 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Post in progress - while this line appears the post is not yet complete!! This guide is based upon content available from Microsoft and others. This guide is designed to get you up and running quickly with Application Virtualization in a Lab Environment. For Production scenarios please refer to Technet for best practise recommendations. For news about updates to App V please consult their blog. In this guide we will use a Windows 2008 32 bit server for our Application Virtualization installation. We will be installing both the Application Virtualization Management Server and Application Virtualization Streaming Server on this server. The server will be a member of a Windows Server 2008 domain with Microsoft DNS. The guide assumes that you have an SQL 2005 sp3 or newer server installed within the Domain. Step 1. Create new Active Directory Security Groups Perform the following on the Windows Server 2008 domain controller: In Active directory Users and Groups, create two new Global Security Groups called App-V-Admins App-V-Users In addition create a user called appVadmin and make that user a member of App-V-Admins Step 2. Create the AppV database in SQL and assign a user as the DB owner Perform the following on the SQL Server: On the server that is hosting your SQL databases, create a new DB called appv and assign appVadmin as the db owner. If you cannot assign appVadmin as the db owner then add it to Logins within the Security section of SQL properties and then try again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anyweb 478 Posted August 4, 2009 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Step 3. Make App-V-Admins a member of Local Administrators Perform the following on the APPv Server: Note: At this point your Appv server must be joined to the Domain. Log on to your Appv server as a Domain Administrator or as a user with Local Administrative permissions on that server and start Server Manager, expand Configuration, Local Users and Groups and click on Groups Double Click on the Administrators group and click Add type in App-V-Admins and if prompted enter the user/pass of a user with permission on the Domain At this point you should now see your Domain Security Group App-V-Admins added to the local Administrators group on the appv server. Logoff and then logon as the domain\appVadmin user (which we added as a member of App-V-Admins earlier.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
