Proceduren er den samme som sidste år, første mail med det rigtige svar i min mailbox ronni.pedersen@eg.dk vil være den lykkelige vinder af en…

Last week I was presenting at Microsoft Campus Days in Copenhagen. During one of my presentations on Application Management using Configuration Manager 2012, I got a question on dependencies, and how to see what applications (Deployment Types) depends on a specific application, before you retire or delete an the application. On the References tab for the application, you can see which Applications that depend on this application. I don’t remeber who asked the question but here is the answer. Enjoy.

You can get this feature installed via the following PowerShell commands: Import-Module ServerManager Add-Windowsfeature PowerShell-ISE

As a consultant and instructor I use my virtual labs every day for developing, testing and doing demos. My virtual lab has 2 Domain Controllers and and a member server for each role or version of a product that I need in my lab.
