App-V 5 SP2 support for 2012R2?

Question

Hi,
I just downloaded App-V 5 SP2, installed the new Client and Sequencer. Both running on servers installed with Server 2012R2, except for the App-V 5 Management en Publishing server. These are running on W2K12.
I just tried to sequence an application, and tried to publish it. But I'm getting these eventlogs on the App-V Management server:
"The client OS is unknown: WindowsServer_6.3_x64."
"The 'TargetOS' in package contains unsupported OS type. "
Is 2012R2 supported?

Answer 1

The propblem perhaps is that the App-V Management/Publishing servers perform an XML validation that does not (yet) include Win 8.1 / Win2012 R2. It is expected that the server bits will receive an update, too (not an SP, but maybe a Hotfix or so).
In between, when sequencing an application just make sure that you DO NOT select 8.1/2012R2 as a potential OS. Instead, choose the option to allow to run that package on any OS.
The bad news is that you can't modify this setting afterwards (well, at least this was true for the SP2 Beta Sequencer. This might have changed). So you might be required to re-sequence the application.
Frankly I'm not even sure if Gridmetric's AVE can adjust/change that setting

Thanks!
Other question, do you know if the App-V 5 (SP2) Client is supported on a 2012 RDS server? Everytime when I run a "User Refresh" there is a event logged in Microsoft-AppV-Server-Publishing/Admin
on the App-V Management server:
"The client OS is unknown: WindowsServer_6.3_x64."
When I run Sync-AppvPublishingServer on the 2012 RDS server I'm getting this error:
"Sync-AppvPublishingServer : Application Virtualization Service failed to complete requested operation.
Operation attempted: RefreshPublishingServer.
Windows Error: 0x801901F4 -
Error module: Publishing. Internal error detail: 45500D27801901F4.
Please consult AppV Client Event Log for more details.
