XenApp Publishing Extensions 3.0 for XenApp 6

A year ago I released XenApp Publishing Extensions 2.0 for use with XenApp 4.5 and 5.0. This free GUI based tool simplifies App-V virtualized application publishing for XenApp. The tool used the traditional mfcom interface for working with XenApp, and did not work with XenApp 6.

White Paper: Perceived Performance Reloaded

ATM Version 3.0

I have updated the ATM tool. This free tool allows you to investigate memory usage on a system, particularly the system file cache, standby lists, and supercache.

App-V Database Schema Pdfs Available

We have added two new eBooks to our growing collection of App-V related publications.  These are both PDFs that depict the organization of the App-V Full Infrastructure database, one for 4.6/4.5 implementations, and the other for 4.2/4.1.

We often print these on a 22/38.5 inch poster for our training classes, and people have asked for copies over the years.  So …
