I've never used AFS before, but have been asked to see if I can virtualize =
the AFS client using VMware ThinApp.
I can see using the AFS Client running in a Virtual Desktop such as VMware =
View or Citrix XenDesktop, but virtualized as an application?
Does anyone know if the AFS Client is implemented as a Kernel or User mode =
driver?
As well, has anyone experience virtualizing the AFS Client using either VMw=
are ThinApp or Microsoft App-V?
Thank you for entertaining a question from an AFS pre-newbie.
