Installing App-V 5.0 Management Server

I'm attempting to install the App-V 5.0 Management Server and DB on a 2012 R2 VM, and I'm running into an interesting issue. The local SQL server, as well as the required .NET/IIS roles, have been installed already. When I launch the installer, I get
to the "Management Server Configuration" screen without issue.
Upon filling in the admin account, as well as the site name/port, I'm getting an "Active Directory information could not be retrieved. Please refer to the logs at [user_temp_path] for more information" error. Upon opening the App-V install
logs, I don't see any new information:
AppvUX: Active Directory information could not be retrieved. Please refer to the logs at [user_temp_path] for more information.
AppvUX: The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist.
There is also nothing of use in the Event Logs. I've also googled these error snippets for a day or two without finding anything helpful.
I initially thought it was a permission issue, but the account I'm using to install has full administrative privileges on the server, as well as read access to all of Active Directory, so I'm not entirely sure that's the case. Just to make sure that it wasn't
a machine-specific problem, I tested access to AD via both AdFind as well as using the ADUC snapin. I don't seem to have any issue querying AD from this box, EXCEPT for through the App-V installer.
For completeness' sake, since App-V 5.0, supports Server 2008 R2 and up, I also tested this on a 2008 R2 and vanilla 2012 VM -- same error at the same point. At this juncture I'm fairly perplexed as to what the underlying issue is.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Though I'm not sure if it reall would solve that issue, you could try to use my App_V SQL prep script from http://kirxblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/remote-db-for-app-v-5-revised/
It would allow you to specify a group that should get 'full' access to the App-V database, and you could add your installing user and the App-V server's
computer account to that group. (don't forget to restart the App-V server after adding it to the group).

Installing 8.1 as a managed server

I am setting up an 8.1 domain . I need to have a managed server and the admin server
on the same machine . Is this possible ??
Do I need to install WLS twice ??
Thanks

Yes

Nope. You just need to create/configure a managed server either from
admin console or from config wizard.

Install a web application on managed server

Hi guys,
I have 2 linux virtual machines (mach1 and mach2).
I installed weblogic with one adminserver on mach1 and one managed server on mach2.
Now I try to install apex for example on mach2. so I start weblogic on mach1, call weblogic console from mach2 BUT from here i cannot browse apex.war on mach2. It show only directories of mach1 !!! is this right ? am I missing something or all deployed applications should be installed in mach1 (where adminserver is) ?
PS: apex is an example. it can be any web application providing a war file.
thanks.

Hi,
You can deploy the application on "stage" mode, so that admin server will distribute the application to mach2.
What you have to do is keep your web application on mach1 so that it is accessible from admin console. Now deploy the application in stage mode to managed server 2 on mach2 from console. Here Weblogic will access the application from mach1 and distribute it to managed server 2 i.e on mach2.
Usualy in an ideal scenario platform design should be made to have a shared mount between machines for weblogic domain.
rank if found useful..!
Thanks,
Ranjan

Does anyone know a work-a-round for this?

Hi AndyW
Which edition of SQL Server are you using? (e.g. Express, Developer, Standard, Datacenter)
App Controller won't install on Express or Developer.

App-V 4.6 management server: list of packages (Excel)?

Hi,
I'd like to have an Excel list of all App-V 4.6 packages on a App-V 4.6 server.
There is a standard export in the GUI, but this does not show the subfolders (only rootfolders).
F.e.
Microsoft
Excel
Word
Visio
Oracle
Application1
Application2
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt
Note: this does not work: http://tryptrecords.com/appv/list/

Hello,
Most likely this is available in the database - I assume you could extract it from there?
I would not expect that you can get this from the GUI

How to implement a singleton class across apps in a managed server}

Hi ,
I tried implementing a singleton class , and then invoking the same in a filter class.
Both are then deployed as a web app (war file) in a managed server.
I created a similar app , deployed the same as another app in the same managed server .
I have a logger running which logs the singleton instances as well.
But am getting two instances of the singleton class in the two apps - not the same .
I was under the impression that , a singleton is loaded in the class loader level , and since all apps under the same managed server used the same JVM , singleton will only get initialized once.
Am i missing something here ? or did i implement it wrong..?
public class Test
   private static Test ref ;
   private DataSource X;
   static int Y;
   long Z ;
   private Test ()
      // Singleton
       Z= 100 ;
   public static synchronized Test getinstance() throws NamingException, SQLException
      if(ref == null)
         ref = new Test() ;
         InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
         ref.X = (DataSource)ic.lookup ("jdbc/Views");
      return ref ;
   public Object clone()throws CloneNotSupportedException
       throw new CloneNotSupportedException();
   public int sampleMethod (int X) throws SQLException
public final class Filter implements Filter
     public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException
          try
               Test ref = Test.getinstance();
               log.logNow(ref.toString());

Any class loader that loads a class, by definition loads the class.
A VM can have many class loaders. And far as I know every JEE server in existance that anyone uses, uses class loaders.
And finally there might be a problem with the architecture/design of a JEE system which has two applications but which is trying to solve it with a singleton. That suggests a there might be concept problem with understanding what an "app" is in the first place.

App-v management server or SCCM 2012 integration?

Hi,
We are using App-V 5.0 integrated within SCCM 2012 for a while now but aren't happy with it.
Hope was that in some update of sccm 2012 it would improve but it does not. That's why the idea arises to use the Ap-V management server again.
Below a comparison of the two options, I was wondering what your opinion on this matter is.
App-V via SCCM 2012:
Pro:
Full integration with SCCM 2012
Contra:
Dependency on SCCM 2012 client (when SCCM client doens’t work, App-V doesn’t work either)
Slow responstimes before package arrives at user (SCCM needs to scan AD groups, SCCM client needs a policy refresh)
App-V Management server:
Pro:
Deploy is also possible to computers as from App-V 5.0 management server
http://virtualvibes.co.uk/enabling-computer-based-targeting-in-app-v-5-0/
“the fact that we can now target machines instead of users when publishing packages”
Fast respsonsetime: deploy & uninstall
Automatic uninstall when user/computer isn’t member of AD group anymore
Contra:
Extra server needed
Note: the migration from SCCM to the App-V Management server should be transparent, right? Unpublish existing packages via SCCM, publish via management server
Please advise.

Application Manager won't let me install apps

I'm attempting to install apps from the Application Manager. Every time I try I get...
"Administrator privileges are required to install. Please retry, or cancel to install later."
I am an administrator, so this makes no sense. Clicking retry does nothing. I've gone so far as to delete EVERYTHING Adobe from my computer (Mac running OS X 10.8.3), reinstalling the application manager and starting over. Nothing works. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting very frustrated...

This sounds like a permissions problem in your Mac OS.
Try creating a new Admin User Account.

App-v management server

Hi,
Anybody works with app-v management server?
Does it work the same way as App-v 4.6 management server? I preferred that concept: deploy an application to a user: it appears, remove it from a group: it dissapears.
App-v 5.0 with sccm 2012 (which we use now) lacks this possibility which I fail to understand.
Can we intergrate the management server with SCCM 2012?
Pls advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

I believe apps are removed automatically when using the management server.
SCCM however does not. There is a workaround however:

And a slightly different (better?) way:

App-V Management server 5.0: deploy to pc?

Hi,
In App-V 4.6 management server, we deploy to users, I cannot see an option there either to deploy to computers (the tab “Access permissions” shows “Add and select the user groups”). Now we don’t have App-V 5.0 management server yet but
we do have SCCM 2012 with App-V (not liking the integration at all, specifically for the reason of unpublishing App-v packages:
http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.be/2013/07/configmgr-2012-sp1-with-app-v-50.html). So my question: can you deploy App-V packages with App-v 5.0 management server to computers? If no, is it documented somewhere?
Thanks.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Hi Jan,
Yes you can use the App-V 5.0 Management Server to publish to computers aswell as users. The Management server console supports specifying a computer group for targeting. Make sure you enable global publishing on the client side too:

OSB deployment on managed server

Hello,
We have a OSB clustered environment where managed servres and admin server reside on separate machines. OSB admin server does not have access to database (The architecture does not allow Admin server to connect to DB). As far as my understanding OSB applications/projects have to be targeted on Admin server for deployment even the SB console is accessible via admin server.
How can we use the Oracle OSB WLST deployment scripts for target on the managed servers currently this works only when pointed to the Admin sserver.
If WLSTscript is pointed to the managed server the deployment script throws exception stating 'cannot start Mbean server'
Your help on this greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
P

Hi Prashant,
OSB apps don't have to be necessary targeted to Admin server. In our project OSB apps are targeted to OSB managed server.
I think reason why you can't deploy it in your case is that there are no OSB components deployed in Admin server. Those components are
deployed to admin server during the installation even if you choose install OSB to separate OSB managed server (they are deployed to both admin and OSB managed servers). I think that's OSB design issue.
During our deployment we recreate domain including OSB apps every time from scratch. It works fine.

Milan

AIA installer unable to detect managed server

Hi,
I am running AIA FP 11.1.1.7 installation and at step 4 the installer can not see the managed server.
If I type the admin server port (7009) into the 'Admin Port' box then the admin server is detected and admin server is available for selection in the 'Managed Server' drop down.
But I don't see the managed server in the drop down list.
If I put the managed server port (8009) into 'Admin Port' box I am getting Can not connect to server.
Both admin and managed servers are running and are accessible through admin console with no problems.
Reading through another similar post I made sure the listen address is set for both servers (it is set to localhost)
What I could be missing?
Thank you.

Yes, thank you - I did that.
I can stop and start managed server from the console meaning from http://<host>:<port>/console of from enterprise manager http://<host>:<port:/em, no problem, server stops and starts, no errors, "Health"=OK, no errors in logs. But the drop down list still lists just the admin server (I did restart the installer of course)
i wonder if somebody could drop (paste) here a copy of the working config.xml file for the domain which "allows" to install aia that is where managed server is visible to the installer as it should, I can't figure what the problem might be.
Thanks much

Configuring oracle management server 9i using create new repository option

hi ,
i am trying to install oracle management server using the the option "create new repository "on a system on which oracle database is already installed .after installing oracle management server "configuration assistant appears .the second option is to select a database repository .
first of all can i select the database that was prevouisly installed on my system
or do i need to create a new database before installing oracle management server. but as i did not install any database for oracle management server before i am trying to select the database that was previuosly installed on the system but i gave me a tns error that it could not resolve the service name .after that i noticed that the oms listerner was up and registered . i am trying to stop this listener and start the database listerner so that it may not give me this error.can some one help me out configuring oracle management server on a system creating a new repository

I suggest you to create a different database for the OMS repository. This database can be used for other tools that may require a repository, such as recovery manager.
On the connectivity issue, I suggest you to verify your listener is up and running and it doesn't need to have the instance registered, as of course, it is a new instance. Make sure it is started. For additional troubleshooting on the connectivity issue, you may post the specific tns-12XXX error message displayed.

SCSM Management Server install error

Hi All
I have a curious error with regards to an SCSM 2012 R2 Management Server install to a Windows Server 2012 with local SQL Server 2012 Standard); the SCSM 2012 R2 Data warehouse Server installed fine on a separate server. I've checked that the install
account has full SQL, Local and Domain Admins (for install), I've also fired the install from an elevated command prompt but with same error, I've also checked that PowerShell is set to Unrestricted. There is also mention of a Timeout in the below error,
which has lead me to think it could possibly be SQL SPN issue, however please see below and let me know if anyone has seen this before \ any suggestions welcome!

Thanks Thomas
Yep had checked permissions, see below. Any others that I may have over looked that you can think of?
1. Login \ install account as local Admin on the Server
2. Login \ install account has full SQL SysAdmin rights, was also used for installing the SQL Instance locally
3. Checked account in AD so that it is ok for Kerberos Delegation
One thing is that I have specified this account for all account options during install (since its a test environment), in production would usually create distinct accounts, is this likely to be an issue though?
Will attempt install again but use Local System etc instead of specifying my domain account just to check \ see if error changes.
Kind Regards
Andrew
