• 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.

• 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.

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 and Psf, and issues to look out for and alternatives to consider.
