Microsoft in April 2009 was finally released MDOP2009 MED-V provides the official version.MED-V is the abbreviation of Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization, by definition, MED-V to provide a desktop virtualization solution.MED-V's desktop virtualization solution generally is the case, the administrator using Microsoft VPC2007 create a virtual machine image, the virtual image includes the operating system and a range of applications.Then the administrator can upload the virtual machine images to MED-V server, Web site, so users of other companies only have a VPC2007 as the client software to connect from the MED-V server's site and download the virtual machine imagesrun one application.Obviously, such a program to address application compatibility is very beneficial, for example, business users want to run Vista in IE6.0, IE6.0 and Vista but is not compatible.This case, Vista users can make use of MED-V, MED-V from the website to download a XP virtual machine images, the next logical that Vista users can run XP in IE6 the image.
MED-V and MDOP in another App-V virtualization component comparison, we can see that the client App-V virtual machine running a software environment, and MED-V, you can in a virtual clientoperating system and can run a virtual operating system applications.
Next, we will organize a series of articles to introduce how to MED-V server deployment, the client installation, mirror making, mirror testing, etc., so that we can on the MED-V has a more intuitive understanding.Topology of our experiments, such as, MEDV the MED-V server role is responsible for the management of virtual machine images and storage, TEMPLATE responsible for the production of virtual machine images, TEST is used to test virtual machine images
MED-V server deployments need to meet the following conditions:
An operating system needs to Win2008 & Standard Edition & Enterprise Edition & X86 & X64
2 Enterprise Edition SP2 database needs to SQL2005 or SQL2008 Standard Edition & Enterprise Edition
3 IIS7
4 4G more RAM, 2.8G or more dual-core CPU
We began to MED-V MEDV server deployment, deployment, follow these steps:
An Active Directory Deployment
To facilitate testing, we first build a domain environment, for simplicity, we put on a domain controller deployed in MEDV.We MEDV running Dcpromo, start Active Directory deployment, as shown below, we created a domain Contoso.com, MEDV as a domain controller and DNS server
Second installation of IIS7
Have deployed Active Directory, we need to install MEDV IIS7, IIS7 and careful configuration.If the IIS7 configuration problems, will lead to the next can not be installed when installing SQL2005 Reporting Services.As shown below, we first deployed in the server role, select "Web Server
Third install SQL2005 + SP2
After deployment of Active Directory and IIS, we start to begin the deployment MEDV SQL2005, as shown below, we need to install "SQL Server Database Services", "Integration Services", "Reporting Services" and "Workstation components, Books Online and development tools. "After deploying SQL2005 after SQL2005 we have marked the SP2 patch
