What’s new in AdminStudio 11?

Software Tagging Support (Enterprise, Professional and Standard Editions)

• AdminStudio 11 now includes ISO 19770-2 tagging as standard, which enables a more efficient software asset management and license optimization process. The ISO tag file contains accurate descriptive information on the application (publisher, name, version, etc.) and simplifies the software asset management task by enabling the collection and analysis of the tags to provide an accurate picture of application inventory.

Facilitating Migration to Microsoft's Configuration Manager 2012 (Enterprise and Professional Edition only)

• AdminStudio 11 provides import functionality to help speed your migration to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012.  Bulk import eliminates the laborious task of importing applications manually one at a time.
• AdminStudio 11 gathers application deployment metadata by mining package elements like dependencies.  In addition to metadata, AdminStudio also identifies product level data such as product icon, manufacturer, scripts, etc.
• AdminStudio offers the option to automatically identify the best candidates for migration to Configuration Manager 2012.
• AdminStudio now has the ability to publish applications to Microsoft's Configuration Manager 2007 and 2012.

Microsoft Server App-V Application Suitability Testing (Enterprise with Virtualization Pack and Professional with Virtualization Pack Editions only)

• AdminStudio 11 performs automatic suitability testing of packages for Microsoft Server App-V. By identifying conversion issues in advance, AdminStudio 11 helps avoid compatibility problems.

InstallShield Suiting/Wrapping (Enterprise Edition only)

• Included with AdminStudio 11 Enterprise Edition, InstallShield 2012 Premier edition streamlines the bundling of applications into suites. It handles application dependencies, post-install updates and other issues to minimize the risk of rolling out incomplete packages or packages with out-of-date applications.

Platform (API) (Enterprise Edition only)

• AdminStudio 11 includes an API that enables users to sequence and orchestrate individual AdminStudio automated tasks to perform higher-level processes such as such as importing packages, checking for virtualization readiness, converting to virtualized packages, testing packages and distributing to Microsoft's Configuration Manager . You can use.NET, PowerShell, scripting languages such as VB Script to communicate with AdminStudio.

Migrating Applications to Windows Installer
Don’t let converting legacy applications to Windows Installer (MSI) hold up your OS migration. AdminStudio’s automated, intelligent tools make it easy to quickly convert any application to MSI and take advantage of cost-saving benefits such as self-healing, rollback, and install-on-demand.

Centrally Managing Resources and Packaging Projects
Besides powerful software packaging technology, enterprises looking to standardize packaging across their organization need centralized management tools. Only AdminStudio has the enterprise-class functionality organizations need to effectively manage all the people, projects, and data involved in the packaging process.

ENHANCED! Quick and Easy MSI Repackaging
Only AdminStudio can convert every setup, even InstallScript MSIs, into 100% pure MSI packages.

The Repackager does the work for you, saving you significant time without sacrificing accuracy.

ENHANCED! MSI Customization and Validation
With AdminStudio, you can quickly customize any MSI package to meet the needs of every user group in your enterprise. The Editor is now powered by InstallShield® 11, the world’s standard in MSI authoring and editing, making it even easier to directly customize MSIs and author transforms.

ENHANCED! Conflict Identification and Resolution

ENHANCED! Quality Assurance Testing

Deployment results are reported back without risk to your environment, enabling you to make corrections before actual deployment.
