Testing Virtual Apps before advertising them via SCCM

If you use SCCM integrated with App-V you know it is a pain to sequence the application, import it to SCCM as a virtual package, distribute it to the DPs and then advertise it to the clients if you just want to test if the application is working properly. Because if it’s not you will have to repeat that same process over and over and it is really time consuming.

An easier way to test the application is to copy the package to the client and use the sfttray command.

If you want to load the application you can use:

sfttray /show /load "PathToOSDFile.osd" /stfile "PathToSFTFile.sft"

If you want to launch the application:

sfttray /show /launch "PathToOSDFile.osd"

Type sfttray /? for usage.
