App-V: Building your test lab

Back on August 18th, Justin Zarb over on the Virtual World blog began a series of articles on building an App-V test lab.  Well, some time went by after Part 1 was posted but apparently he got a spurt of energy and hammered out Parts 2 through 7 while I was out last Friday.  Better lay off the Red Bull buddy!  Anyway, now that they're done, not only is this a great way to model your App-V test lab but if you're looking for a better understanding of how the various pieces fit together then reading through his build is a great way to do it.  The various posts that make up his 7 part build is below:

========

Part 1: The initial Setup - Building your App-V RC test lab (using 4.5.1305)

Part 2 : Installing IIS 7 for App-V RC 4.5.0.1305/8

Part 3 : Configuring Windows Server 2008 with Certificates for RC App-V 4.5.0.1305/8

Part 4 : Installing the First Management Server on RC App-V 4.5.0.1305/8

Part 5 : Configuring the Windows Server 2008 Firewall for RC App-V 4.5.0.1305/8
