The document discusses strategies for migrating from Windows XP to newer operating systems. It notes that most organizations need 12-18 months to deploy a new OS. Support for Windows XP will end in April 2014. Application and profile virtualization techniques are presented as ways to decouple applications and user profiles from the underlying OS, making migrations more transparent. This could involve deploying applications and user profiles virtually rather than physically installing them on each machine. The benefits include less downtime during migrations and reduced profile corruption issues. The document recommends starting analysis now to identify appropriate applications and rethinking migration and profile strategies.
The document discusses the new features in DataSplice 5.2, including improved user interface flow and interaction, new file attachment options, and diagnostic information for support personnel. Some of the key UI improvements are better touch screen interaction, intuitive new record creation, and consistent button placement. The update also allows capturing signatures, editing images, and exporting data and diagnostic information. Future plans include more support for Bluetooth devices and two-factor authentication on the server.

We will report how using the Application Jukebox application virtualization solution at the University of New Hampshire has saved time and simplified management of public and department-specific computer labs and our VDI environment. Traditionally, we used a combination of imaging and then various scripted deployments to install applications. With application virtualization, we have been able to move over a hundred Windows applications into virtual packages that can be "installed" by users on demand. We will discuss the general problem of managing large numbers of complex applications across a range of computer environments while also trying to be flexible and responsive to users.
Outcomes: Understand how application virtualization can overcome issues with deploying software * Appreciate the capabilities of Application Jukebox to be able to assess its utility to your campus * Obtain a model for evaluating a tool's potential savings

As Windows XP comes to the end of its natural life on 8 April 2014, thousands of applications that run under the old operating system will need to be upgraded for a move to Windows 7 or 8.
The majority of commercial applications are available in newer versions of the Windows operating system, and users simply need to stay current. However, some businesses may find that they are unable to do so for various reasons, perhaps because they have been developed in-house, or are one of the few commercial applications that don’t have an upgrade path to Windows 7 or 8.
In these instances, what are the options when it comes to applications that can’t be upgraded? How can businesses overcome issues associated with legacy apps when upgrading the rest of their applications to Windows 8?

• When planning to eliminate Windows XP, don't expect to deploy Windows 7 formainstream users before the first half of 2011.• Test applications during 2009 and 2010, and create remediation plans to ensure you willnot have to delay your migrations while you are fixing your applications.• Plan to eliminate Windows XP from your environment by year-end 2012.• Prepare budgets to deploy Windows 7 on new and existing PCs during 2011 and 2012,so you can eliminate Windows XP before it becomes problematic.
• The typical organization will need 12 to 18 months once Windows 7 ships until theircritical vendors support the new OS, and they can complete their application testing,image building and piloting.• Applications that do not run on Windows Vista likely will not run on Windows 7.• Although Microsoft will support Windows XP through 14 April 2014, support for third-partyapplications on Windows XP will become a problem by 2012.• Skipping a release (such as Windows Vista) means that organizations will not be able tomove to the next release (Windows 7) leisurely, via PC attrition.
Applications allways take up much more time than anticipated
You have budget for your project for T1 – T4. Now application run out of time and budget and there is no way back.But the timefor testing and delivering applications is fixed. There are no shortcuts.The migration delay is a result of the application delay.

Not everything can be virtualized so you still need MSI (for now)OS virtualization on the desktop in not likely, so physical OS and maintenance (OS deployment and patching).This means introducing a management layer that can do this!Don’t introduce at once, step by step.Start with virtualizing applications and profile
Platform indepent smoothens migrations to future operating systemsPlatform indepent means that it’s more likely that application will run on different OSs.Packagetime shortening only when traditional guidelines and processes are reevaluatedMSI is becoming legacy because Application Virtualization is currently not a 100% sollutionIntroduction has low impactAs a strategic platformAs a solution for a specific problem
Also Server App-V is coming!Demo Office 2010 and show that the presentation is running on App-V Office 2010
Ask logon times in the audience.What we hear is: profiles are slow, but nobody acts because it only hurts for a momentNobody is managing.Machine settings vs. user settings – HKLM vs. HKCU. Not all personal settings are in HKCUOnly one file (Ntuser.dat) contains all individual registry settings – no app-centric information segmentationProfiles corruptionTroubleshooting means deleting the entire profile with all the settings.
Default profile size Windows XP: 700kb (60 bestanden)Default profile size Windows 7: 1,8 Mb (90 bestanden)Copying1000 1Kb files takes longer that one 10 Mb fileWe see that Roaming Profiles are reversed.
Folder Redirection is a feature that allows users to redirect user-specific profile folders to an alternate locationLess “stuff” is copied back and forth during the profile load/unloadDocuments, Desktop, and Start Menu are good examples of user profile folders you can redirectFolder Redirection gives administrators the ability to move user data out of the profile, giving users real-time access to their dataCan be done on a server by server basisCan be configured in Group PolicyCan redirect multiple folders to many locationsCan redirect enough folders to make the profile as small as 50kExclusion applies only at logoffUser Profiles – V 2Applies to Vista, WS2008, Win7 and WS 2008 R2Individual profile path: \\Users\\<username>Folder names are not localized, but still contain localized directory junctions for compatibilitySeparates machine and application-specific dataLocal Profiles: Personal, High stability, High performance, Easy managementRoamingProfiles: Personal, Medium – Low stability, Medium – Low performance, Hard managementMandatory Profiles: Not personal, High stability, Medium performance, Easy management

Which application really require roaming settings (we see about 40%)App-V does redirect but doesn’t filter which settings are preserverd.Also it’s not possible to migrate settings from physical applications to virtual application and visa versa.
Demo that it really takes 5 minutes
