The Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) documentation library has recently been published to TechNet! This is the first time that MED-V documentation has been made available online and you can now see the newly published MED-V Planning, Deployment, and Operations Guide in the MED-V documentation library on TechNet here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee348978.aspx.

Unfortunately with released of MDOP 2009 R2 there is not MED-V version tha is compatible with Windows 7, but for this wi'll wait a 1 Q of 2010.

I have done copy and paste but I think that is not possible to lose this post for the content... read and think!

Backup, convert, flexibility and so on wow....

The Windows Sysinternals team as brought out a new utility, called Disk2vhd that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk - Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. The cool thing about Disk2vhd is that you can run Disk2vhd on a system that’s online. Disk2vhd uses Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted).

It 'was released yesterday and is already available for download, the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack 2009 R2.

The version of MDOP 2009 was released the first of April 2009, and the issue in these days of R2 is linked to the updating of various instruments that make MDOP better support for deployment of Windows 7.  

App-V 4.5 SP1 to deploy virtualized applications on Windows 7 (32-bit), while version 4.6 will allow the deployment of virtualized applications also hosted a 64-bit. Currently the version 4.6 of App-V is in beta and the release of the final version is expected by the first half of 2010.

As for Med-V 1.0 SP1, the version of Med-V will support Windows 7, the beta is expected later this year and the full release in the first quarter of 2010.

Hi all,

this is a great question, how can I use an .ocx file on my Windows x64 platform if this .ocx file is not compatible with Windows for 64 bit?

It seems incredible but works!

This problem can be solved with APP-V

At the first step you need to sequence with APP-V Sequencer 4.5 this .ocx (only this component because I remember that Internet Explorer is not virtualizable)

At second step you need to ran this Virtual APP from APP-V client 4.6 (RTM will be available within the end of October) and if you use Internet Explorer 8 from Windows 7 (x64) in compatibility mode, you can see that all it's operational.

This solution obviously is not supported from Microsoft but is usefull to sove little problem about 32 vs 64 bit!

cheers
