How to Deploy the App-V Server (new installation)
Applies to
- Windows Server 2016
Important
If you're already using App-V 5.x, you don't need to re-deploy the App-V server components as they haven't changed since App-V 5.0 was released.
Before you start:
-
Ensure that you’ve installed required software. See App-V Prerequisites.
-
Review the server section of App-V security considerations.
-
Specify a port where each component will be hosted.
-
Add firewall rules to allow incoming requests to access the specified ports.
-
If you use SQL scripts, instead of the Windows Installer, to set up the Management database or Reporting database, you must run the SQL scripts before installing the Management Server or Reporting Server. See How to Deploy the App-V Databases by Using SQL Scripts.
