client deployment

Question
-
I would like to know if there are others than GPO options for app-v client deployment?
What is new in 2014 for this matter?
If not I will use Rory's article (dated June 2013):

Check out the MDOP Administrative Templates:

There's been a few extra configuration options added, I believe.

You are going to deploy the client using GPO? Or set the configuration for the installed Client with Group Policy?
Hotfix 5, is indeed a hotfix.
I would suggest deploying the Client with a Software Distribution Tool and configure the settings via Group Policy. Or you could set the settings required via the Command Line. Personally I find the GPO template the easiest way to configure the clients.
I'm not aware of a way to monitor that the clients got the GPO but they should upon rebooting, it's a standard GPO...gpupdate /force should also force the policy to update

Rory,
is there a way to monitor client deployment using GPO.
Let say I have to distribute 200 clients. How to monitor success or failure?
Also, I guess that hotfix (5 now) is just a hotfix to the client in MDOP.
(I found that sequencer in hot fix 4 is real Sequencer and not a hotfix).
How you update client itself with hotfix?
Thanks,
Michael.

I have to create a pilot App-v for 50 new machines.
Probably the best at this point just to include Client to the base OS image. I will use hotfix5 (will use newer if will be available in the moment of new deployment).
Next year I am planning to introduce SCCM into production. So it will be another story.
Or may be will look into 3 party stuff.
Thanks for helping.
