Hello, Here are some details about our setup and issue. We use SCCM2007SP2R2 and MDT2010 to deploy a Windows 7 build. We have some virtual apps that we would like to deploy during this OSD task sequence. We use the PXE deployment and the download and execute method, which means that we can only select "download content when neede by the ts" in our advertisement. During the ts we deploy some virtual apps.Because we select "download content when needed" the virtual app gets downloaded into a temporary location (c:\_SMSTasksequence\... ) , gets loaded into the APPV cache en then gets deleted. We would like to get the content downloaded to the CCM cache during the OSD task sequence. How could this be accomplished ? What we have tried allready : -> Copy the content to the correct location during ts -> NOK because the content gets registered into WMI and I have not found a way to do this using the SDK -> Change the _SMSTSDonwloadonDemand variable during ts -> NOK because this is a read-only variable and cannot be set -> Created a second advertisement for the deployment of the virtual apps and advertised it to a generic user and during the TS run a script to trigger the get user policy as a custom action and use the "run as specified user" option in order to run it as the generic user -> NOK because my script fails when I perform it in a TS as a different user account, when I run the script normally ( not in ts ) it runs fine -> plit my ts into an OS Deployment part deployed through PXE and a second TS and advertisement for deploying the virtual apps ( using the download all content before running option ) -> In progress... need to find a way to make the ts runquickly after the OS part. Could use SDK script to add resource record to specific collection or use a generic collection and set adv mandatory and never rerun. Any other suggestions for the resolution of this problem ?

*bump* I know this is an ancient thread but we're having the same issue. Any answers? Thanks.

Kenny, No supported solution. reverted to stream from dp for the virtual applications in combination with a WMI event sink to load apps completely as soon as the programs are registered. Gino D

What I have done before at customer location is mount the WIM image (with GImageX) and copy the sftfs.fsd file in it. That way the image will be deployed with the App-V cache integrated. It works! My blogs: Henk's blog and Virtuall | Follow Me on: Twitter | View My Profile on: LinkedIn
