Traditional Desktop Apps

Windows Modern Apps

Setup.exe installers
Windows Installer (MSI)

New packaging mechanism

OneClick (.NET)

Very simple installation
mechanism

App-V, Click-to-Run

Always installs quietly

Can be installed silently
(usually)
Typically requires admin
rights, usually installs per
machine
Still used in Windows 8
(unchanged)

Does not require admin rights,
always installs per user (if form
the store)
New in Windows 8, essentially
unchanged in Windows 8.1

Installation

Provisioning

Install via an “Enterprise App Store” using:

Provision using the Microsoft Deployment
Toolkit 2012 or DISM


Make sure your reference Image has no Apps from
the store
Apps need to be provisioned in your image
DISM /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:C:App1.appx /SkipLicense
Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -FolderPath C:Appx

Use ConfigMgr for Installation on demand

Windows Store Apps cannot be installed via a TS
No native support for provisioning apps during a TS
Deep Link Support but a Microsoft ID is required
You need ConfigMgr 2012 R2 for FULL Windows
8.1 support (or-and MDT 2013)

It’s all about the performance of the OS
Suspend <> Terminate Apps
Something changed when trying to close an app…


Hardware requirements are unchanged
Desktop AppCompat is excellent
Windows Store Apps are compatible
Internet Explorer 11 compatibility (support back to IE6)

The goal is to migrate
very fast from Win8 to
Win8.1
Consumers initiate
the update through
the Windows Store


Enterprises
deploy the
update
themselves
using a software
distribution
tool, e.g.
System Center

4 Goals
Struggle to enter credentials on touch devices
Built-in Windows Experience
Introduce new “touch” fingerprint sensors
Move from traditional to modern


Users can enroll devices that configure the device
for management with Windows Intune; the user
can then use the Company Portal for easy access
to corporate applications
Data from Windows Intune is in sync
with Configuration Manager, which
provides unified management across
both on-premises and in the cloud

Users can register BYO devices for
single sign-on and access to
corporate data with Workplace Join.
As part of this, a certificate is
installed on the device
IT can publish access to corporate resources with the Web
Application Proxy based on device awareness and the user’s
identity.; multi-factor authentication can be used through
Windows Azure Active Authentication (formerly PhoneFactor)


As part of the registration process, a new
device object is created in Active
Directory, establishing a link between the
user and their device

Authentication
Kerberos (Windows Auth)
Digest (Windows Auth)

Device management policy
File encryption / selective wipe
Require password / device lock

ADFS (OAuth)

Limit access to registered devices
