Symantec Workspace Virtualization 6.2 Customer Preview now Live
Jordan | 29 Jul 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

If you already have a SymBeta account, simply enter your credentials and you...

Symantec Workspace Streaming - ActiveX Control Always Installs
Scot Curry | 29 Jul 2010 | 0 comments

I was just working with a customer who asked me what I thought was a simple question: "I have run the Symantec Workspace Streaming agent on all of my clients.  Every time I go to the SWS Portal is keeps asking me to install the agent. Why is that?"

I didn't know, so I went to our crack development staff and asked them what was up.  I was told that when accessing the portal a test is done to compare the version of the agent on the machine to the value found in:

%ProgramFiles%\Symantec\Endpoint Virtualization\Workspace Streaming\Server\launchserv\webapps\launchserv\new\asObject.html

The contects of the file will look like:

<script language="JavaScript" src="launch.JS"></script>
<object 
id="LaunchObj" 
classid="CLSID:3356DB7C-58A7-11D4-AA5C-006097314BF8"
codebase="new/launcher.cab#version=6,1,1,194">
</object>

It is the value in the codebase line...

How to Get SVS or SWV ? Where to Download SVS 2.1, and SWV 6.1 !
Pascal KOTTE | 20 Feb 2013 | 114 comments

I think a lot of people, like me, spend a lot of time try finding how to get those download:

  • Latest Symantec workspace Virtualization, SWV 6.1, that is advanced SVS version, is integrated with the Altiris client management suite CMS 7.  (Yes, it was also named "SVS PRO")
  • Notice 1: This package includes the "Wise Virtual Composer", and both x86+x64 versions.
  • Notice 2: This link currently also includes SWS (Streaming) and SWC (Corporate)
  • [please vote my post if you use it ;-]

Story: I was thinking only SVS 2.1 (Software Virtualization Solution) was integrated into the "Client Management Suite 7". But this is not the case and SWV 6.1 (Symantec Workspace Virtualization) must not be paid in addition.

Free home license: Both SVS 2.1 "light" version & SWV are still free personal use. I...

EM&V Community Update
ohzone | 29 Jul 2010 | 2 comments

Community involvement isn’t a new thing to most of you, having migrated from the Juice. As your admin I prefer to stay behind the curtain and let you run the show while I sort out issues behind the scenes. But it seems that my role with Connect is a bit different now. Every now and again I need to draw your attention to something that you may not be award of or you may find interesting.

Firstly Congratulations for being the community with the longest name! Endpoint Management and Virtualization! If anything begs for an acronym that does! Since the Connect site launched our numbers have increased steadily and while I know some of you still miss Juice, you’ve found that Connect is a useful resource for help and information.

One feature that is new to us is the “solved” feature in forums. The is a great way to help others who may be searching for information find solutions when they find a post relating to the problem they may be having. Users...
