Creating application proiles
Application profiles include information that VMM can use for installing Microsoft Web
Deploy applications, SQL Server data-tier applications, Microsoft Server App-V applications,
and instructions for running scripts when you deploy a VM as part of a service. You only use
application profiles if you are going to deploy a VM as part of a service, and don't use them
when deploying standalone VMs. You can add multiple applications of the same type, or ap-
plications of different types to the same profile.
Before creating an application profile, you should ensure that all packages and scripts
that the profile will use are already present in a VMM library share. To create an application
profile, perform the following steps:
1. In the Library workspace of the VMM console, right-click the Profiles node, and click
Create Application Profile.

On the General page, shown in Figure 4-48, provide a name for the application profile
and choose between one of the following compatibility options:
■ SQL Server Application Host Select this option if you will use the profile to
deploy SQL Server DAC packages or SQL Server scripts to an existing SQL Server
instance.
■ Web Application Host Select this option if you will use the profile to deploy Web
Deploy packages to IIS.
■ General Select this option if you are deploying a combination of application types
or Server-App-V applications.
