A sensible question to ask is how you know whether your Streaming Server has settings that result in sub-optimal server performance. Enter the Microsoft Application Virtualization Best Practices Analyzer tool.

Some Useful Tips

  1. You’re not limited to running the App-V BPA only against a Streaming Server.
  2. It is a recommended best practice to install the App-V BPA in the default program files location as it has ACL based security applied.
