Launching App-V applications published through Studio on the same VDA
Citrix Studio integrates with App-V in either Single Admin or Dual Admin mode. The benefits of Single Admin mode is that essentially no App-V Management or Steaming servers are required. This is achievable because Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops can directly hook into the SMB network share where App-V packages are stored.
