Accessing the management console
The App-V Management Console is hosted on the App-V Management server. The console is based on Microsoft Silverlight, and as such, can be accessed only on Windows PCs from Internet Explorer with the Silverlight 5 plugin installed.
Getting ready
This recipe assumes that you have completed the steps in the previous recipe and have set up an App-V Management server with the Publishing role included. All of the actions in this task will be conducted on a domain-joined Windows 8.1 client.
How to do it...
The following list shows you the fundamental steps involved in this recipe and the tasks required to complete the recipe:
- Install the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight
- Browse to the web-based management console and log in
The implementation of the preceding steps is as follows:
- On your Windows 8.1 client, open Internet Explorer and browse to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight. Then, click on the Install Silverlight button.
- Allow the download to complete and then launch the Install Silverlight application and click on Install now to begin the installation. Close any open Internet Explorer windows.
- Open Internet Explorer and browse to http://appv1.demo.org:440/Console.html.
- A dialogue box will prompt you to log in with your credentials. Log in with the Sam Adams account created earlier, which is part of the App-V Administrators security group.
- Once logged in, you will be presented with the Packages screen of the console. Note that the name of the account is listed in the top-right hand corner and that you can check the version number of the console by clicking on the About option.
