System Center 2012 - Deploying Additional Application Types (MOC10747.S8)

Description

Windows® 8 has introduced a new application type named the Windows Store app, which is designed specifically to run on devices running Windows 8. Windows Store apps have a new .appx extension, which facilitates your installation to multiple device types across the Internet and within your enterprise.

Microsoft® System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager allows you to install Windows Store apps to devices running Windows 8 either by linking to Windows Store apps or by installing .appx files directly.

In many cases, you might want your users to have access to an application that is not installed directly on their computer. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) allows you to install applications in an isolated, nonpermanent environment on a Windows-based computer. Managing virtualized applications with System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager is similar to managing other applications.

In this module, you will learn about managing deployments on unconventional applications. This module describes how to install Windows Store apps and virtualized applications.
