Virtualizing System Center 2012 R2 Consoles with Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0 ( App-V 5.0 SP2 )

Hello here’s a step by step guide to virtualize your System Center Consoles so you can deploy via SCCM or App-V Publishing Server.
Virtualizing the System Center 2012 Consoles will help us to keep all the analyst consoles deployed/updated in a controlled environment. The idea of virtualizing the System Center consoles is to reduce the amount of work/time that we spend applying patches. With this solution we will be working only with one application.

Requirements

A clean Windows 7 x32 or x64 Virtual Machine with the App-V 5.0 Sequencer client installed with a clean state snapshot/ checkpoint if Hyper-V.
Source files for the System Center Consoles. (You might need to server setup)
Follow the instructions on the right order when packaging so you don't run into any unexpected issues.
Optionally: Join the computer to a domain.

Important: the VMM Console needs to be connected to a domain in order to install.
