@pkaak, I think it's covered in the paper (par 3.1.1 App-V Streaming Server) but it's just not in the summary above.

I miss one of the options..

You miss the option to only install a streaming server and do the authorisation/licensing/etc. with another 3rd party tool like RES Powerfuse. Microsoft knows this as 'the streaming model'.

In fact, Microsoft places distribution with SCCM in the 'stand-alone' model.

Thanks to Jeroen and Ruben for the hard work in producing this paper. A tip on those using DL380 G6 systems with DDR3-1333 DIMMs - in the BIOS options under Advanced Options/Advanced Performance Tuning Options, the option Memory Speed with 2 DIMMs per Channel needs to be set to 1333 MHz Maximum.
