Removing Virt-Apps Originally Deployed via OSD Task Sequence
I have an OSD task sequence that deploys several virtualized applications as part of a Windows 7 deployment. Normally, removing a virt-app would be done by simply removing the computer from the collection the virt-app is advertised to. If removing the computer from the deployment collection is the solution, it would also remove all other virt-apps installed via the TS as well. Is there another solution to remove the virt-app? Is there a better practice for deploying virt-apps in a TS that would avoid this situation altogether? Thanks.ChrZim

I would say that it's not possible to remove a single Virtual Application after it's been Advertised through a Task Sequence with multiple Virtual Applications. I would Advertise Virtual Applications one-by-one. Reason (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161775.aspx): Remove this package from clients when it is no longer advertised Specifies if the virtual application package should be deleted from target computers when the associated advertisement is no longer available. You should not select this option if you plan to advertise the virtual application package to computers that are members of dynamic or query-based collections. If this option is selected and a target computer is a member of a collection that does not receive the advertisement the target computer will not be able to run the virtual application package. You must select this option if you plan to remove virtual application packages from target computers. My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
