Today Microsoft released App-V 4.6 SP2 beta. As to be expected – a whole new version, App-V Next/App-V 5 is coming at the end of the year – this release has no big new changes. The real difference between this release and the previous SP1 is that it now supports Windows 8.

Verrassend nieuws van Microsoft. Met onmiddellijke ingang gaan de kosten voor nieuwe en vernieuwende klanten omlaag. De korting kan oplopen tot 19% in de abonnementen van Office 365 en tot wel 94% (!!!) in de losse producten.
Reden voor deze verlaging is volgens Microsoft’s Kirk Koenigbauer van de Office divisie de snelle toename van het aantal klanten dat momenteel kiest voor Office 365, waardoor kan Microsoft nog efficiënter te werk kan gaan met de inzet van zijn datacenters en expertises. Dit is voor mij opvallend omdat Microsoft verder geen aantallen heeft vrijgegeven van het aantal klanten dat gebruik maakt van deze dienst, maar dit toch een indicatie is dat er momenteelwel  aan de interne doelstellingen wordt voldaan. Met de prijsverlaging hoopt Microsoft voor een nog grotere doelgroep een betaalbare oplossing te kunnen bieden.

Hieronder een overzicht van de wijzigingen.

For one of my customers I was asked to build a new Win7-image which would be used in SCCM for operating system deployment. I had done this before several times, so I was not expecting any true problems. But I was wrong.

After I created a reference pc, I had created a unattend.xml file with the CopyProfile=true option, because I had a change, which I would like to be implemented into the default profile. See here for more info about CopyProfile:

Then I started the sysprep using the following commandline:

C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /unattend:C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\unattend.xml

After some minutes I received an error telling me that sysprep was not successful. I found some info in the setuperr.log file:

“…error 0×715 occured while querying the configuration of the service tsusbhub…” Lees meer (0 reacties)
