Symantec Workspace Virtualization 6.2 Customer Preview now Live
Jordan | March 9, 2010
3 comments

The Customer Preview for SWV 6.2 is now live up on the Symbeta site, we're no longer using beta.altiris.com.  This also includes SWS 6.2 as well as a preview of Wise Virtual Composer 6.2.

With 6.2 we're introducing a new package format named XPF that will contain both streaming and virtualization information so you'll no longer have to convert a VSA into something that SWS can consume.

To create an XPF you'll need to convert a VSA using Wise Virtual Composer, it's a fairly simple process, however, WVC currently only allows for you to convert a VSA into a XPF.  To do any layer editing you'll need to still use SVSadmin.

You can download the preview from

Keeping the Lines of Communication Open Between Notification Server and SVS
BBishop | January 13, 2006
0 comments

We asked troubleshooter Brent Bishop to share a swig of wisdom related to Notification Server and SVS working as a team. He shares a few ways to sidestep problems you may run into if Notification Server fails to recognize SVS or execute its commands.

<!--break-->

The Issue

Software Virtualization Solution (SVS) advertisements which run the autogenerated programs inside of Notification Server (NS) SVS packages (there are 15 programs autogenerated at this time when the *.vsa file is selected in the Package Manager window or the Virtual Software Wizard) fail to run and give an error message of "SVSCMD.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." or they simply seem to fail to perform their function.

The Details
