Building and configuring an AppStack for XenApp

Now that we have described the architecture of how App Volumes fits into a Citrix XenApp environment, the next thing we need to have is to start building and configuring the environment.

There are a number of steps involved in creating the environment, which are illustrated in the following diagram:

In this chapter, we are going to cover the complete scenario of building an AppStack for Office 2013 Professional, and then deliver this as a published application using Citrix XenApp.

To follow the Example Lab for this chapter, you will need to use two RDSH host servers (RDSH-Provision and XenApp). You will also use the Citrix XenDesktop virtual machine and the associated infrastructure components (Delivery Controller, Studio, StoreFront, and License Server).
