It has been a while since I wrote about my top 10 new features of ConfigMgr 2012 Service Pack 1. Have been busy with setting up our new User Group (WMUG NL), preparing presentations, writing other blogs and contributing to the upcoming book of Kent Agerlund (System Center 2012 SP1 Configuration Manager: Mastering the Fundamentals). Busy times between working and all other hobbies 
Let’s finish this blog series with my number 10 in the list of new features, the support of App-V 5.0. With R2 coming up lot’s of new features can be added to a new top 10, so stay tuned

With the Application Setup Center within the Setup Commander you are able to easily download most of the free available Windows based applications.

In my series about my favorite new or renewed features in Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 I would like to dedicate this blog to the Apple Mac OS X support. As from Service Pack 1 Configuration Manager 2012 supports Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) for deploying applications, hardware inventory, settings management, software update management and discovery. Let’s see how this looks like.

OctA little bit more than a month ago Citrix released the Citrix XenApp connector for Configuration Manager 2012. Before I was able to have a look at the connector, I had to configure a Citrix XenApp 6.5 server in my lab environment. A little challenge but it is working like a charm! In this series of blogs I will try to show you what is possible with the connector. In this first blog we will look at the architecture and the installation process of the connector.

MayIn an earlier blog I wrote already about how to delete applications from Configuration Manager 2012. Since it was written while beta 2 was just released, it is maybe time to see if deleting applications in Configuration Manager 2012 is still the same or that is changed for the best If I am allowed to guess, I think it is changed for the best

Like mentioned in an earlier blog the Application Model in Configuration Manager 2012 is changed drastically for the best. A new feature in Configuration Manager 2012 is that changes to an application will be stored into the Configuration Manager 2012 database as a revision. When you make a change to an application that is not good you are able to revert to an earlier revision. When playing around with Configuration Manager 2012 I wanted to delete my first application

MayDuring this high level meeting about the new Application Model in Configuration Manager 2012 an earlier session was repeated. In this blog I will be a summary about this session and most of the information can also be found in the slide deck of the session.
Nevertheless, Microsoft invested big time to create a new application model where the user can be the center of the deployment / management of the applications. In my opinion, this worked out well and Configuration Manager is going to be a mature configuration management platform.
Last but not least, I won the monthly price of the Community Evaluation Program, thanks guys!
