Hi all, I have some ideas for the SWS Console according to a best user control of the packages. 1) It would be good to know in a short view the server status of the package exemple on the first print screen modified. (SWS_Console capture) 2) It would be good to see the size of the package (.xpf) and the size after stream for exemple in the package details. (Details_Package capture) 3) It would be excellent that when you click on back button of a package view to go to the previous page and ...

Hum, not sure for MSI this can be possible, and useful... As the interested is to start the program before the end all files local installed. But for portable EXE, Like ThinApp packages, it is full sense to support, and probably not a big difficult.

I would like to better understand Symantec version naming conventions, and all Symantec products following the same one! When told me a version 6.1 SP7, I do not naturally guess the 6.4.1266 was the same one... All the same, I can understand not able to guess the 1266, I can tell you, I was expecting something like 6.1.4.1266 instead! e.g.: Currently Symantec Workspace Streaming Agent (SWS) 6.1 SP7 is: 6.4.0.68 Symantec Workspace Virtualization Agent (SWV) 6.1 SP7 is: 6.4.1266 Notice ...

The idea here is to package the SVS runtime too along with .VSA Archive. Also instead of .VSA, make it as a single self-executable .EXE / .COM file where all the runtime/ temporary files are sandboxed. The biggest plus of this approach is you need not depend up the presence of SVS runtime in every client machines & need not worry about any traces / leftovers. This approach will make all the existing Applications truly portable.  May be virus infections can be bloced if ...

Is it possible to link the non streamed application directly to the icon of the application dependence steam? Example: Before any package are streamed: After the fist package is streamed it miss only the adobe reader package to ...

I'd like to see the Symantec Workspace Streaming Console   improved so I can use it to push out agents to new PCs and also to control and update any settings on deployed agents. I also feel it needs a re-design, it's a very difficult console to naviagate, perhaps make it an mmc based console.

Hello, I would like to have some kind of SVSUser (a capped version of SVSAdmin) so "normal" users (i.e. not administrators) can do the following: - import, reset and delete layers In this manner we can deploy a computer with all the basic layers (office, acrobat and so on) and have a layer library in a network share. If the user want to "install" some software he can import itself the layer and use the software. When he is done with the software, he can delete the layer ...

Hello, Sometimes, when you try to capture an application that uses some windows services to install something, there are files and registry entries that aren't captured in the layer. If you export this layer to another computer it won't work because of the missinge files/registry entries that has been created in the base in the capture workstation. Well, I have this idea. Why not having an option of creating an snapshot before of the installation and at the end of the capture process ...

Currently SWS is primarily tuned towards user based entitlements because in most instances it's the user who is going to use an application. As you may have seen in several of our presentations, the operating system, application, data and profile is meant to "follow the user". The reasoning for this is except for certain scenarios such as lab environments, task based machines, hardware dependent apps, all others are more suited for user based provisioning. Now there are ...

The Symantec Workspace Virtualization - Admin, should receive some improvement to be more compliant windows standards. From SVS 2.1, now SWV 6.1, and 6.2 and 6.3 : I am a little disappointed because still see the 2 problems below: Windows is not re-sizable ! display got some problem to refresh, when you switch other windows, back, "Grey display". Also same problem, when recompile Layer, list is not updated auto, must F5 to refresh manually... So, please Symantec, Do those basic ...
