Cannot push package via Streaming server
In my test Active Directory domain, I have a Windows 2003 Server VM box and 1 Windows XP machine. I downloaded and installed the SVS SP3 -Streaming Server - (with default options) on the W2K3 box[VM]. I installed the SVS Agent on the XP machine. I have another test XP machine. I installed the streaming composer on the machine and created a snapshot package. I then uploaded the .zip file to the Streaming server. I have enabled push to the SVS agent machines. I have setup the Portal server and STS. I can see that the package is available to the servers and the client machine. I checked the user'ids and they are all part of the admin group in AD, and are provisioned for the package. On the client XP machine, I logged in as the admin within my test AD domain, and I still do not see the package in the SVS agent console. I have rebooted both the server and the client. Restarted the AWE Services, and streaming services on the server and client. Not sure if it helps, but on the client, I also cannot connect to the portal server. Do I need to configure something in IIS on the W2K3 VM box? Any ports that I should be checking? Thank you

Have you installed both the
Have you installed both the streaming agent and the svs agent?
I beleive you need both.
I could be wrong, but I
I could be wrong, but I believe you can only stream .VSA's right now. I was told that snapshot and MSI's cannot be streamed via streaming server yet. Best thing to do is create the VSA with SVS, and then use composer to create the .zip.
Bdan187 is right
BDan187 is correct. Use the composer to build the zipfile and use that in your streaming solution.

Solution
Hello Folks,
Streaming Agent must be installed to stream the applications to the cache. Only SVS packages (i.e. packages created using VSA files) will stream and the layer would show on the SVS Admin tool.
Snapshot and MSI packages will not list on SVS. They are exclusive to streaming and hence require Streaming Agent to be installed.
Also the system needs to be rebooted after the streaming agent is installed on top of a client machine with SVS agent installed. This is because the filter dirvers loading order will change so that there is a smooth interaction between the streaming and virtualization agents.
Upon removal of the SVS format packages the layer will also be removed.
Please let me know if more stuff is required.
Cheers,
Bala
Couple things to check
Workspace Streaming uses its own web server, so if you have IIS installed disable the default site because that will be conflicting with the streaming web services which by default also use port 80.
With regards to the package. It sounds like you want the package to stream after logon and this is not the default behavior. Go to the package properties on the console, enable prepop package and it will automatically start streaming when your AD user logs on.
Please let me know if further details are needed.
