In ConfigMgr 2007 with R2 it was possible to import App-V packages and stream them to the end user. There was also the possibility to choose between streaming or local delivery for that. Have a look at this blog for more information about ConfigMgr 2007 with App-V integration: http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.com/2010/12/configmgr-2007-with-app-v-integration.html


System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) is often used for Software distribution. When creating new applications in ConfigMgr 2007 or 2012, create "Package from Definition" can be selected. In this blog I will explain what's the advantage when using this instead of creating a normal software package.


With ConfigMgr 2007 Release 2 (R2) it is possible to add App-V packages to the ConfigMgr console, and advertise them to ConfigMgr clients. With that functionality, no additional App-V Management or Streaming server is needed anymore. Now there is one solution for managing and publishing MSI-based & Virtual-based applications! I will explain in this blog what to configure in the ConfigMgr console, and how the App-V packages will be published to the ConfigMgr clients.
