NOTE: Due to the ongoing pandemic, the class will become remote only. This means that the class would run 4 hours per day starting on the 7th of June and ending on the 18th.  The hours for the remote class would be 13:00-17:00 each day local swiss time.
 
TMurgent is bringing Tim Mangan and his world renowned training back to Switzerland, 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 classe 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.  
 

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.
Remote students (only) will be required to build your own VMs at your site prior to the start of the class:
  • Each student will require two Windows VMs.
  • Our pre-class prep kit will provide detailed written instructions, a video introduction to building the VMs, and installers for the tools needed.
  • Any type of hypervisor may be used, but the student must have access to create and revert to "snapshots".
  • You will need additional storage on a share for the application installers and created packages.
  • It is highly recommended that students have two monitors, microphone, video camera, and earphones.
In-person students (when available) need to bring a laptop with wireless lan to tap into lab equipment provided.

While we recommend the in-person experience, this class will also accept remote students in this 5-day 8 hour/day format. 

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.
