Welcome to my VMware App Volumes series. In this session I will show how I setup a vm to use for capturing AppStacks. As I already have a pretty nice Windows 10 vm created as image/template for my VDI’s, I clone this, change computername and add it to the domain.
Once the VM is rebooted, I log in with a user with administrative permissions and install the App Volumes Agent from the msi-file
The App Volumes Agent Installation Wizard opens, Next
I accept the terms, Next
Enter the App Volumes Manager address and port-info, Next
I confirm my settings, Install
Once the App Volumes Wizard completes successfully, Finish
I restart the VM in order to apply system changes the App Volumes Agent makes
After a reboot of the VM, it reports nicely to App Volumes Manager
Finally, I do “ipconfig /flushdns” and “ipconfig /release” before I shutdown the VM and create a snapshot
