  3. MDOP Technologies App-V turns applications into centrally managed services that are never installed, never conflict, and are streamed on demand to end users AIS is a hosted service that collects software inventory data and translates it into actionable business intelligence DART reduces downtime by accelerating desktop repair, recovery, and troubleshooting unbootable Windows-based desktops DEM enables proactive helpdesk problem management by analyzing and reporting on application and system crashes AGPM enhances governance and control over Group Policy through robust change management and role-based administration MED-V enables deployment and management of Microsoft Virtual PC to address key enterprise scenarios, primarily resolving application compatibility with a new version of Windows

  4. Advanced Group Policy ManagementEnhancing group policy through change management What it Does Benefits • Versioning, history & rollback of group policy changes • Role-based administration & templates • Flexible delegation model • Enable group policy change management • Provides granular administrative control • Reduce risk of widespread failure “Advanced Group Policy Management has been like a magic bullet for us. Its automated change management and workflow-enabled delegation capabilities are impressive. I wouldn't be able to manage GPOs without it.” Michael Wilcox, MIS Client Services Supervisor, Forsyth County Forsyth County

  5. Microsoft System Center Desktop Error MonitoringProactively manage application and operating system failures What it Does Benefits • Agentless crash monitoring • Crash/hang data captured and stored in central server • Direct access to troubleshooting and resolution knowledgebase • Accelerate IT responsiveness • Reduce Windows desktop TCO • Improve desktop stability & end-user productivity Sample Report

  6. What’s new in AGPM and DEM • AGPM 4.0 and Windows7 • AGPM complements Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Group Policy with change management and role-based administration • Manage group policies across different domain forests – copy Group Policy Objects (GPOs) from one domain forest to another • Makes GPO tracking easier with new search and filter capabilities – filter GPOs according to various attributes, such as name, state, or comment. You can also search for GPOs that were last changed by a particular administrator or on a particular date DEM 3.5 and Windows7 • DEM introduces new reports to enhance desktop monitoring and allow proactive approach for troubleshooting, with no agent installed Top System Errors Report - The top reasons for “blue screen” errors across the network Top Application Errors Report – The top errors in the last 60 days

  7. Microsoft Diagnostics & Recovery ToolsetPowerful tools to accelerate desktop repair What it Does Benefits • Recover unbootable PC • Access deleted files, manipulate services, reset passwords, & more • Detect and remove malware while the PC is offline • Accelerate TCO savings by minimizing recovery time • Recover instead of reloading Windows • Make PCs safer to use “This toolset enables us to restore clients instantly without rebuilding them - saving up to six hours per instance.” David Smith, Technical Support Center, UMC Health System

  8. Asset Inventory Service (AIS) • Translate software inventory into business intelligencewith a hosted service, and no new infrastructure • Full software asset inventory scanning • Centrally hosted database of software titles • Assigns intelligent naming and categorization to software • Robust reporting with export to Excel, XML, PDF Benefits • Ability to manage enterprise assets • Simplification of compliance and disaster recovery • Easily administered online service • Ease of deployment – hosted service, no server infrastructure required • Normalized data • Catalog developed from individual and worldwide customer data • Breadth and accuracy of catalog definitions are improved in real time • Catalog definitions set de facto worldwide standard for identification of deployments

  9. Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) MED-V accelerates Windows deployments Typical upgrade path to a new operating system: “MED-V will be very beneficial as we upgrade more machines to Windows Vista, and eventually to Windows 7, because we’ll be able to run legacy applications that require a previous operating system in Virtual PC images on the new desktops.” TUEV Nord (8,000 employees) • Enable enterprise deployment of virtual Windows XP environments • Run applications that are not yet supported/tested on the new version of Windows First upgrade – then migrate! Test compatibility of all application Migrate or replace incompatible apps Upgrade users to Windows 7 Test • Migrate Upgrade

  10. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)Dynamically streaming software as a centrally managed service Benefits What it Does • Readily accessible applications • Accelerated Windows deployment • Accelerate application recovery • Reduced application conflicts • Minimize app-to-app compatibility testing • Leverage existing PC Management investments • Streams applications to users • Centralizes permissions • Never installs applications • Isolates applications • Provide real-time metering reports • Heidelberg App-V 4.5 App-V SP1/SP2 App-V 4.6 “Microsoft Application Virtualization helps us dramatically reduce packaging time, optimize application delivery and management processes, and cut the total cost of ownership for our client environment.  It paid for itself in just six months.” Axel Junghans, Global Client Manager, Heidelberg • March 2009 • Early2010 • October 2009

  11. Deployment vs. App-V Provisioning Process Flow Comparison • Automated Deployment • Weeks or Months Application Request Application Available Coverage Planning i.e. What PC needs the application? Packaging Software (MSI file) Test Compatibility Between Applications Alert Users of Change Date to Leave PC On Deployment (May Require User Reboot) Validate Deployment Mop-up Deployment & Install to Mobile PCs Support for Compatibility or Install Failure App-V Provisioning Hours or Days Application Request Application Available Sequence Application Test Launch & Confirm Functionality w/User Post on Server / Storage Enable User Access in Active Directory Icon Appears as Available on Desktop • Paradigm shift from “software push” to dynamic application streaming simplifies or eliminates major work steps • Planning • Packaging • Testing • Case studies report 50-96% less effort and cycle time (average 81%) • Deployment • Validation • Support

  12. App-V 4.5 SP1 and Windows7 App-V on Windows 7 delivers a consistent user experience, streamlined application deployment and simplified application management for virtual applications • Maintain user productivity regardless of application format • Integration with Windows 7 maintains user experience and productivity • Virtual applications behave the same as regularly installed applications. • Increased IT control with AppLocker integration • Enforce compliance of virtual applications with AppLocker policies • Provide consistent policy management for all application types. • Make users productive anywhere and save on IT infrastructure using BranchCache • Virtual applications traverse the WAN once and are available faster via BranchCache • Secure application delivery with BitLockerToGo • Confidently deliver virtual applications on a removable drive securely, and maintain licensing compliance. App-V is the only application virtualization product in market that is compatible with Windows 7

  13.
