Implementing Network Load Balancing in App-V

There are five different tasks that we need to perform in order to complete the implementation:

1. Prepare accounts for delegation in Active Directory.

2. Create a Network Load Balancing cluster.

3. Add Service Principal Names.

4. Install/configure App-V Management Server services in NLB.

5. Configure App-V Clients.

We are going to review a basic example of configuring the App-V services in Network Load Balancing with the following scenarios:

• Active Directory working (necessary for the App-V Management Server scenario)

• Two Windows Server 2008 R2 servers with IIS role installed with all prerequisites for the App-V Management Server

• One Windows Server 2008 R2 server hosting the App-V data store

Preparing accounts for delegation in Active Directory

This step is necessary to configure the Service Principal Names in Active Directory for the services we would like to load balance (HTTP and App-V services, in this case).

When we trust delegated accounts in Active Directory, we...
