Are symbolic links only supported when using Hyper-V as a host?

Any idea how we can get around this for 2003 Terminal services (or 2008) connecting to a fast CIFS share.

Would like to use this feature but if upgrades are going to be a pita then it's not going to be viable.

Is the shared cache feature of App-V 4.6 "all or nothing" ??

What happens if a user with rights to 10 App-V programs on the publishing server logs on to a machine with a shared cache file populated by only 4 of the 10 App-V programs?

Thanks,

Phil

Active Update is not supported like Matthias says. But you can upgrade the cache file when it is not in use(maybe difficult in 24x7 organizations). Nicest option is to use symbolic links. See the Technet Read-Only cache article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee956915.aspx

HI,

active updates do not work. The cache is sealed. Well, because the cache is seal a chance of corruption is quiet low

Hey Justin,

How does this handle active updates?

And what happens if the cache somehow becomes corrupt?
