    We are planning to migrate App-V 4.6 packages to App-V 5.0.  We have thousands of packages that needs sequencing.  Part of these packages are the older versions which we do not intend to re-package for 5.0.  We want to start packaging the active applications end users are running on their computer.  Is there a way to tell from the system which application and version are being used by the end users?  We also want to know the last used date/time if possible.  Is there a report or query that we can run against the SQL table?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Within the Management Console.

    There are 4 types of canned reports:

    Also run this command in elevated CMD. This will create a log file but will list out both Inuse and Not in use apps.

    sftmime query obj:package /global /log c:\VirtualApps.log

    Hi,

    It looks like this script is to retrieve information on the client computer.  Is there a script that we can run on the server to retrieve usage packages?

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Is this the script that we can run on the App-V 4.6 server to retrieve package usage information? 

    Thanks,

    I haven't played much with 4.6 full infrastructure, but guess this link would help you.

    This link requires .NET programming and setup IIS to gather client's computer information.  We don't have the skill sets to perform this development.  I am looking for something like you posted above "sftmime query obj:package /global /log c:\VirtualApps.log" which can be executed on the server side instead of reaching out thousands of client's computer to query their application usage.  Is there a similar command or SQL table that we can retrieve from the server side?  We only want to convert the active applications to App-V 5.0.  This would reduce the scope and timing of the project.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    The App-V 4.6 Client can have its application usage tracked via the 4.5 Management Server's reporting feature.

    The App-V 5.x client can have its application usage tracked via the 5.0 Reporting Service.

    Are these server-side features currently in your environment? if so, we can walk you through how to retrieve this information.
