TMurgent is bringing Tim Mangan and his world renowned training back to The Netherlands, and this time we cover the world of Packaging for App-V and MSIX. This is the first publicly scheduled class for such training in the world!
The Experts Packaging for App-V and MSIX class will be run by TMurgent. This 5-day class consolidates our world-famous App-V training classes and expands upon that to help you prepare for the future of MSIX as well. We will provide you with both theory and practical hands-on experience in our training lab. This class is both for those who are new to App-V and/or MSIX and those with prior experience already. We recommend the in-person classroom experience, however remote students are accepted in this class also.
Prerequisites:
The course is designed for people with a general background in IT and/or Packaging. We take students with or without prior experience in App-V.
There are no hard pre-requisites to be able to take the class, however, the following are helpful:
- Knowledge and experience with general Microsoft Server Administration.
- Knowledge and experience with SQL Server Administration.
- Experience with other "packaging" techniques helpful.
- Experience with App-V Administration and Sequencing.
The training site will provide desktop Computers to access the Labs. You are welcome to sequence on your own VMs, on your laptop or back in your office via VPN, but we do provide all of the VMs you need. Remote students will provide their own VMs based on information we provide after registration.
Syllabus
| IT Pro Experts Packaging for App-V & MSIX |
|
A hands-on class where you will learn the concepts, techniques, and latest tricks to be successful and packaging and configuring applications for delivery within the Enterprise using both Microsoft App-V and MSIX.
Whether you use modern or traditional application delivery methods, the applications your company depends on must be customized, and in many cases remediated to work in today’s desktops. MSIX is the future for new applications, you will also need App-V because MSIX will be much more work for older apps and is currently incompatible with many of your apps.

The three major portions of the class are:
- Concepts: Provides an in-depth understanding of the underlying concepts of Packaging, especially for Application Virtualization and MSIX. We also cover the "Windows API", from the prospective of the IT Pro - helping you to understand how the app intends to integrate with the OS and the End-User. With this core knowledge in place, you are now ready to learn the packaging techniques.
- App-V Sequencing: The heart of the class. Demonstration of "best practice" techniques and techniques to tackle a variety of application types that do not deploy easily.
- MSIX Packaging: The other heart of the class. Demonstration of "best practice" techniques and techniques to package in MSIX, issues to look out for and alternatives to consider.
