Symptoms

On Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Remote Desktop Services (RDS) servers running the App-V RDS client version 4.6.1.30151 and Forefront Endpoint Proection (FEP) Malware version 3.X, App-V applications stop working after 2-3 days and a reboot is required to restore App-V functionality. The following error may also be logged in the App-V client's sftlog.txt file:

The Application Virtualization Client has encountered a serious error.  All applications
deployed through the Application Virtualization Client have been terminated.  Please stop the

place, and contact Technical Support.

Cause

This can occur if the Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) Malware program MsMPEng.exe is scanning the App-V client's virtual drive. By default this is the Q: drive but it could be any drive configured during App-V client installation.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, update the FEP agent to Version 4.1.522.0 or higher and verify that the App-V virtual drive (Default is Q:) is defined in the FEP exclusion policy. Use the steps outlined in the More Information section to verify with Process Monitor that MsMpEng.exe is no longer scanning the Q: drive. For example, if FEP is monitoring the Q: drive you will see entries similar to the following:
