Should we go 32-bit or 64-bit?
• 32-bit Office is best path for most users
– Under Windows 64-bit, Office 32-bit users benefit
from a full 2 GB of memory per application instance
• 64-bit Office is best for select set of users
– Allows to use more memory - higher performance
in Excel, Project
• Office 2010 64-bit cannot be installed side-byside with Office 2010 32-bit or previous
versions of Office
– Using App-V can be a possible path for some users
Office 2010: Two Activation
Models
• Local activation service in your environment
– Key Management Service (KMS)
• Direct activation with Microsoft
– Multiple Activation Key (MAK)
• Notes:
– Privacy: all methods designed to protect user privacy
• Microsoft does not use activation information to identify or
contact you
– Activation not required for Office 2010 Server products
• SharePoint Server, Project Server, Exchange Server

Delivering Applications using
Application Virtualization
(App-V)
Benefits Of App-V:
Run applications as a “service”
• Access anywhere
– Over the web
– Portable devices
• Just in time deployment (Click-to-Run)
– Installer does not run
– Instant gratification
• Simple servicing
– Update once, deliver everywhere
– Users automatically stay up to date
Benefits Of App-V
Run applications without conflicts
• No changes to system
– Safely run apps side-by-side
– No OS decay over time
– Lower migration costs
• State separation
– Store app state separate from OS state
– State categorized as user versus system
– User state stored in profile, roams with profile
App/OS Model Comparison
Traditional App/OS
Model
Virtualized App/OS
Model
How Does It Work?
• App packaged using Sequencer
– Installation monitored to capture resources
– All app resources stored in an app image (.SFT)
• App image placed on server for distribution
• App streamed to client over network
– SMB, HTTP(S), RTSP(S)
– Can leverage DFSR replica and BranchCache
– Other distribution mechanisms possible (USB)
• App-V runs app in Virtual Environment (VE)
– App virtualization layer handles resource requests

Office 2010 Deployment with
App-V
Use Microsoft Application Virtualization to stream applications
on-demand
• Advantages:
–
–
–
–
–
Centralized application management
Support for roaming users and making applications available quickly
Can run multiple versions of Office on the desktop
Previously incompatible applications can run on the same desktop
Centralized image simplifies updates, management & helpdesk
• Limitations:
– Requires a supporting infrastructure and resources
– Consider network bandwidth availability for streaming applications
– Integration into existing infrastructure, such as the patch management
process
Improved Application Virtualization
Support
• Potential to simplify deployment & management
• Microsoft invested in App-V with Click-to-Run
• Office 2010 requires App-V 4.6 (available in
MDOP 2010)
• App-V requires deployment specific sequencing
• Features improved with App-V 4.6/Office 2010
include:
Click-to-Run
• New software delivery mechanism based on
core virtualization and streaming technologies
from App-V
• It’s fast 
• With Click-to-Run, it’s easier to always be
running the latest and most secure version of
Office
• It’s low impact, and co-exists with other
software on the machine
• It has full language support, and will work on
both 32-bit and 64-bit Operating Systems
Application Virtualization
Management Server and Client
Requirements and Interactions
• Client for desktops and
terminal services
• Windows XP, Windows
2003 Server, or newer
• 12 megabyte (MB) for
installation files, at
least 2048 MB for cache
file

Demo Infrastructure…
Reducing Application Conflicts

Application Virtualization
packages contain the
complete environment
for the application

Applications in a suite can
share the environment

Potentially conflicting
applications have
their own environment
Side-by-Side execution
Demo: SSxS
(Super Side by Side) 
Application Updates
Update
Updates
• Update once on server
• Seamless update to clients
Dynamic Suite Composition
Combined Virtual Environment
•
•
•
•
Application known to not conflict
may be administratively set up to
share the same virtual environment.
Mandatory and Optional dependency
configuration options
Virtual applications may now share
common dependencies
Customer benefits:
– Achieve one to many
– Greatly improve the ability
deploy and manage an
application with multiple plug ins
and/or add ins
– Reduce cost of patching
dependent application (i.e. plug
ins, middleware, etc)
– Improve management of plug in
distribution to different user
groups
Demo: Dynamic Suite
Composition
APP-V e RDS : Better Together
• APP-V 4.6 supports 64 bit OS:
– Remote Desktop Services of Windows Server 2008 R2
– Terminal Services of Windows Server 2008
• Easy deployment, management and applications
maintenance
• Remote access to the applications, also using web
• RemoteApp and WebAccess Integration
Group Policy Customization
Group Policies
• Administrators can use Group Policy to
mandate user settings for Office
• Office policy settings are contained in the
Administrative Template (.adm or .admx and
.adml) files
• Administrators can use settings to create highly
restricted or lightly managed desktop
configurations
• Group Policy settings have precedence over
OCT settings
• Administrators can use settings to disable file
formats that are not secure across the network
Demo: GPO
