+ ```
+ Where _VMName_ is the name of the virtual machine (VM) with the App-V Sequencer installed, where you'll run the batch sequencing, and _OutputPath_ is the full path to where the sequenced packages should be copied.
+
+ The cmdlet creates a "clean" checkpoint on the VM. Next, the cmdlet copies the first app installer listed in the ConfigFile from the Host computer to the VM, and finally a new session of the VM opens (through VMConnect) and sequencing of the app begins from the command-line. After completing sequencing and package creation for the first app on the VM, the package is copied from the VM to the Host computer, specified in the OutputPath parameter. The cmdlet then goes to the second app on your list, reverting the VM back to a "clean" checkpoint and running through all of the steps again, until the second app package is copied to your output folder. This process continues until all apps included in your list are done. After the last app, the VM is reverted back to a "clean" checkpoint and turned off.
+
+### Review the log files
+There are 3 types of log files that occur when you sequence multiple apps at the same time:
+
+- **New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages-<*time_stamp*>.txt**. Located in the %temp%\AutoSequencer\Logs directory. This log contains info about the sequencing activities, such as "Copying installer to VM", "Scheduling sequencing task", and so on for each app. Additionally, if an app times out, this log contains the failure along with the checkpoint for troubleshooting the problem.
+
+- **New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages-report-<*time_stamp*>.txt**. Located in the **OutputPath** folder you specified earlier. This log contains info about the connections made to the VM, showing if there were any failures. Additionally, it briefly includes success or failure info for all of the apps.
+
+- **Log.txt file**. Located in the **Output Package** folder. This file contains all code included in the NewAppVSequencerPackage cmdlet, including the allowed parameters.

+# Automatically update multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10, version 1703
+
+Updating multiple apps at the same time follows the same process as [automatically sequencing multiple apps at the same time](appv-auto-batch-sequencing.md). However for updating, you'll pass your previously created app package files to the App-V Sequencer cmdlet for updating.
+
+Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, running the New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages cmdlet or the App-V Sequencer interface captures and stores all of your customizations as an App-V project template. If you want to make changes to this package later, your customizations are automatically loaded from this template file.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>If you're trying to sequence multiple apps at the same time, see the [Automatically sequence multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-sequencing.md) topic.
+
+### Update multiple apps by using a PowerShell cmdlet
+Updating multiple apps at the same time requires that you create a **ConfigFile** with info related to each round of updating. This file is then used by the cmdlet to start the VM at a "clean" checkpoint, to copy the installer from the Host device to the VM, and then to start the App-V Sequencer to monitor your specified app installations.
+
+**To create your ConfigFile for use by the PowerShell cmdlet**
+
+1. Determine the apps that need to be included in your app package, and then open a text editor, such as Notepad.
+
+2. Add the following XML info for each app:
+
+ - **<Name>.** The name of the app you're adding to the package.
+
+ - **<InstallerFolder>.** The file path to the folder with the app installer.
+
+ - **<Installer>.** The file name for the app executable. This will typically be an .exe or .msi file.
+
+ - **<InstallerOptions>.** The command-line options required for the app installation.
+
+ - **<Package>.** The file path to the location of your App-V packages. These packages were created when you sequenced your apps.
+
+ - **<TimeoutInMinutes>.** The maximum amount of time, in minutes, that the cmdlet should wait for updating to complete. You can enter a different value for each app, based on the size and complexity of the app itself.
+
+ - **<Cmdlet>.** Determines whether the sequencer uses the cmdlet or the App-V Sequencer interface. **True** tells the sequencer to use cmdlet-based updating, while **False** tells the sequencer to use the App-V Sequencer interface. You can use both the cmdlet and the interface together in the same ConfigFile, for different apps.
+
+ - **<Enabled>.** Indicates whether the app should be sequenced. **True** includes the app, while **False** ignores it. You can include as many apps as you want in the batch file, but optionally enable only a few of them.
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```XML
+
+
+
+ Skype for Windows Update
+ D:\Install\Update\SkypeforWindows
+ SkypeSetup.exe
+ /S
+ C:\App-V_Package\Microsoft_Apps\skypeupdate.appv
+ 20
+ True
+ True
+
+
+ Microsoft Power BI Update
+ D:\Install\Update\PowerBI
+ PBIDesktop.msi
+ /S
+ C:\App-V_Package\MS_Apps\powerbiupdate.appv
+ 20
+ True
+ True
+
+
+
+ ```
+
+3. Save your completed file, using the name **ConfigFile**.
+
+
+**To start the App-V Sequencer interface and app installation process**
+- Open PowerShell as an admin on the Host computer and run the following commands to start the batch updating:
+
+ ```ps1
+ New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages –ConfigFile –VMName -OutputPath
+ ```
+ Where _VMName_ is the name of the virtual machine (VM) with the App-V Sequencer installed, where you'll run the batch updating, and _OutputPath_ is the full path to where the updated packages should be copied.
+
+ The cmdlet creates a "clean" checkpoint on the VM. Next, the cmdlet copies the first app installer listed in the ConfigFile from the Host computer to the VM, and finally a new session of the VM opens (through VMConnect) and updating of the app begins from the command-line. After completing updating and package creation for the first app on the VM, the package is copied from the VM to the Host computer, specified in the OutputPath parameter. The cmdlet then goes to the second app on your list, reverting the VM back to a "clean" checkpoint and running through all of the steps again, until the second app package is copied to your output folder. This process continues until all apps included in your list are done. After the last app, the VM is reverted back to a "clean" checkpoint and turned off.
+
+### Update multiple apps by using the App-V Sequencer interface
+Updating multipe apps at the same time requires that you create a **ConfigFile** to collect all of the info related to each round of updating. This file is then used by the App-V Sequencer interface after creating a "clean" checkpoint on your VM.
+
+**To create your ConfigFile for use by the App-V Sequencer interface**

+# Automatically cleanup unpublished packages on the App-V client
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10, version 1703
+
+Previous versions of App-V have required you to manually remove your unpublished packages from your client devices, to free up additional storage space. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces the ability to use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically cleanup your unpublished packages after a device restart.
+
+## Cleanup by using PowerShell commands
+Using PowerShell, you can turn on the **AutoCleanupEnabled** setting to automatically cleanup your unpublished App-V packages from your App-V client devices.
+
+**To turn on the AutoCleanupEnabled option**
+
+1. Open PowerShell as an admin and run the following command to turn on the automatic package cleanup functionality:
+
+ ```ps1
+ Set-AppvClientConfiguration -AutoCleanupEnabled 1
+ ```
+
+ The command runs and you should see the following info on the PowerShell screen:
+
+
+
+
+ | Name |
+ Value |
+ SetbyGroupPolicy |
+
+
+
+
+ | AutoCleanupEnabled |
+ 1 |
+ False |
+
+
+
+
+2. Run the following command to make sure the configuration is ready to automatically cleanup your packages.
+
+ ```ps1
+ Get-AppvClientConfiguration
+ ```
+ You should see the **AutoCleanupEnabled** option turned on (shows a value of "1") in the configuration list.
+
+## Cleanup by using Group Policy settings
+Using Group Policy, you can turn on the **Enable automatic cleanup of unused appv packages** setting to automatically cleanup your unpublished App-V packages from your App-V client devices.
+
+**To turn on the Enable automatic cleanup of unused appv packages setting**
+
+1. Open your Group Policy editor and double-click the Administrative Templates\System\App-V\PackageManagement\Enable automatic cleanup of unused appv packages setting.
+
+2. Click **Enabled**, and then click **OK**.
+
+ After your Group Policy updates, the setting is turned on and will cleanup any unpublished App-V packages on the App-V Client after restarting.

+
+# Automatically provision your sequencing environment using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10, version 1703
+
+Previous versions of the App-V Sequencer have required you to manually create your sequencing environment. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces two new PowerShell cmdlets, New-AppVSequencerVM and Connect-AppvSequencerVM, which automatically create your sequencing environment for you, including provisioning your virtual machine.
+
+## Automatic VM provisioning of the sequencing environment
+You have 2 options for provisioning an VM for auto-sequencing:
+- Using a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD)
+
+ -OR-
+
+- Updating an existing VM
+
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >We have reduced the number of environmental checks performed by the App-V Sequencer, narrowing down the list of apps that need to be disabled or turned off for a clean sequencing experience. We've also suppressed antivirus and other similar app warnings.
+
+### Provision a new VM by using a VHD file
+Provisioning your new VM includes creating a VHD file, setting up a user account, turning on remote PowerShell scripting, and installing the App-V Sequencer.
+
+#### Create a VHD file
+For this process to work, you must have a base operating system available as a VHD image file, we recommend using the [Convert-WindowsImage.ps1](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Convert-WindowsImageps1-0fe23a8f) command-line tool.
+
+**To create a VHD file by using the Convert-WindowsImage command-line tool**
+1. Open PowerShell as an admin and run the Convert-WindowsImage tool, using the following commands:
+
+ ```ps1
+ Convert-WindowsImage -SourcePath "" -VHDFormat "VHD" -VHDPartitionStyle "MBR"
+ ```
+ Where *<path_to_iso_image>* is the full path to your ISO image.
+
+ >[!IMPORTANT]
+ >You must specify the _VHDPartitionStyle_ as **MBR**. Using the default value, **GPT**, will cause a boot failure in your VHD image.
+
+#### Provision your VM using your VHD file
+After you have a VHD file, you must provision your VM for auto-sequencing.
+
+**To provision your VM using your VHD file**
+1. On the Host device, install Windows 10, version 1703 and the **Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Auto Sequencer** component from the matching version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). For more info on how to install the App-V Sequencer, see [Install the App-V Sequencer](appv-install-the-sequencer.md).
+
+2. Make sure that Hyper-V is turned on. For more info about turning on and using Hyper-V, see [Hyper-V on Windows Server 2016](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/hyper-v-on-windows-server).
+
+3. Open PowerShell as an admin and run the **New-AppVSequencerVM** cmdlet, using the following parameters:
+
+ ```ps1
+ New-AppVSequencerVM -VMName "" -ADKPath "" -VHDPath "" -VMMemory -VMSwitch ""
+ ```
+
+This command creates a new Hyper-V VM file using the provided VHD file and also creates a "clean" checkpoint, from where all sequencing and updating will start.
+
+
+### Provision an existing VM for auto-sequencing
+If your apps require custom prerequisites, such as Microsoft SQL Server, we recommend that you preinstall the prerequisites on your VM and then use that VM for auto-sequencing. Using these steps will establish a connection to your existing VM.
+
+**To connect to your existing VM**
+- Open PowerShell as an admin and run the following commands on your existing VM:
+
+ - **Set the network category of your connection profile on the VM to _Private_:**
+
+ ```ps1
+ Get-netconnectionprofile | set-netconnectionprofile -NetworkCategory Private
+ ```
+
+ - **Enable firewall rules for _Remote Desktop_ and _Windows Remote Management_:**
+
+ ```ps1
+ Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Remote Desktop”
+ Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Windows Remote Management”
+ ```
+
+ - **Set the VM to receive remote commands without a confirmation prompt:**
+
+ ```ps1
+ Enable-PSRemoting –Force
+ ```
+
+**To provision an existing VM**
+1. On the Host device, install Windows 10, version 1703 and the **Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Auto Sequencer** component from the matching version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). For more info on how to install the App-V Sequencer, see [Install the App-V Sequencer](appv-install-the-sequencer.md).
+
+2. Open PowerShell as an admin and run the **Connect-AppvSequencerVM** cmdlet, using the following parameters:
+
+ ```ps1
+ Connect-AppvSequencerVM -VMName "" -ADKPath ""
+ ```
+
+ Where *<name_of_vm>* is the name of the VM granted during its creation and shown in the Hyper-V Manager tool.
+
+This command creates a new Hyper-V VM file using the provided VHD file and also creates a "clean" checkpoint, from where all sequencing and updating will start.
+
+
+### Review the provisioning log files
+The 2 types of provisioning log files, located at %temp%\AutoSequencer\Logs, are:
+
+- **New-AppVSequencerVM-<*time_stamp*>.txt**. Includes info about the provisioning activities, such as "Waiting for VM session", "Copying installer for Sequencer", and so on.
+
+- **Connect-AppvSequencerVM-report-<*time_stamp*>.txt**. Includes info about the connections made to the VM, showing whether there were any failures.
+
+
+### Next steps
+After provisioning your sequencing environment, you must sequence your apps, either as a group or individually. For more info about sequencing your apps, see [Manually sequence a single new app using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-sequence-a-new-application.md), [Automatically sequence multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-sequencing.md), and [Automatically update multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-updating.md).
+
+After you sequence your packages, you can automatically cleanup any unpublished packages on the App-V client. For more info, see [Automatically cleanup unpublished packages on the App-V client](appv-auto-clean-unpublished-packages.md).

These settings can then be applied when you create new virtual application packages in your environment. Using a project template can streamline the process of creating virtual application packages.

These settings can then be applied when you create new virtual application packages in your environment. Using a project template can streamline the process of creating virtual application packages. App-V project templates differ from App-V Package Accelerators because App-V Package Accelerators are application-specific, while App-V project templates can be applied to multiple applications. For more info about Package Accelerators, see the [How to create a Package Accelerator](appv-create-a-package-accelerator.md) topic.
-> **Note** You can, and often should apply an App-V project template during a package upgrade. For example, if you sequenced an application with a custom exclusion list, it is recommended that an associated template is created and saved for later use while upgrading the sequenced application.
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>In Windows 10, version 1703, running the new-appvsequencerpackage or the update-appvsequencepackage cmdlets automatically captures and stores all of your customizations as an App-V project template. If you want to make changes to this package later, your customizations are automatically loaded from this template file. If you have an auto-saved template and you attempt to load another template through the _TemplateFilePath_ parameter, the customization value from the parameter will override the auto-saved template.

-Use the following procedures to create and apply a new template.
+## Create a project template
+You must first create and save a project template, including a virtual app package with settings to be used by the template.
**To create a project template**
-1. To start the App-V sequencer, on the computer that is running the sequencer, click **Start** / **All Programs** / **Microsoft Application Virtualization** / **Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer**.
+1. On the device running the App-V Sequencer, click **Start**, click **All Programs**, click **Microsoft Application Virtualization**, and then click **Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer**.

+ >[!NOTE]
+ >If the virtual app package is currently open in the App-V Sequencer console, skip to Step 3 of this procedure.
-2. To open the existing virtual application package that contains the settings you want to save with the App-V project template, click **File** / **Open**, and then click **Edit Package**. On the **Select Package** page, click **Browse** and locate the virtual application package that you want to open. Click **Edit**.
+2. On the **File** menu, click **Open**, click **Edit Package**, browse for the virtual app package that includes the settings you want to save with the App-V project template, and then click **Edit** to change any of the settings or info included in the file.
-3. In the App-V Sequencer console, to save the template file, click **File** / **Save As Template**. After you have reviewed the settings that will be saved with the new template, click **OK**. Specify a name that will be associated with the new App-V project template. Click Save.
+3. On the **File** menu, click **Save As Template**, review the settings associated with the new template, click **OK**, name your new template, and then click **Save**.
The new App-V project template is saved in the folder you specified.
-**To apply a project template**
+## Apply a project template
+After creating the template, you can apply it to all of your new virtual app packages, automatically including all of the settings.
-> **Important** Creating a virtual application package using a project template in conjunction with a Package Accelerator is not supported.

+1. On the device running the App-V Sequencer, click **Start**, click **All Programs**, click **Microsoft Application Virtualization**, and then click **Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer**.
-2. To create or upgrade a new virtual application package by using an App-V project template, click **File** / **New From Template**.
+2. On the **File** menu, click **New From Template**, browse to your newly created project template, and then click **Open**.
-3. To select the project template that you want to use, browse to the directory where the project template is saved, select the project template, and then click **Open**.
+3. Create your new virtual app package. The settings saved with your template are automatically applied.
- Create the new virtual application package. The settings saved with the specified template will be applied to the new virtual application package that you are creating.

App-V supports applications that include Microsoft Windows Services. If an application includes a Windows service, the Service will be included in the sequenced virtual package as long as it is installed while being monitored by the sequencer. If a virtual application creates a Windows service when it initially runs, then later, after installation, the application must be run while the sequencer is monitoring so that the Windows Service will be added to the package. Only Services that run under the Local System account are supported. Services that are configured for AutoStart or Delayed AutoStart are started before the first virtual application in a package runs inside the package’s Virtual Environment. Windows Services that are configured to be started on demand by an application are started when the virtual application inside the package starts the Service via API call.

+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10, version 1703
+
+The following are known issues and workarounds for Application Virtualization (App-V) running on Windows 10, version 1703.
+
+
+
+ | Problem |
+ Workaround |
+
+
+
+ Unable to manually create a system-owned folder needed for the set-AppVClientConfiguration PowerShell cmdlet when using the PackageInstallationRoot, IntegrationRootUser, or IntegrationRootGlobal parameters. |
+ Don't create this file manually, instead let the Add-AppVClientPackage cmdlet auto-generate it. |
+
+
+ | Failure to update an App-V package from App-V 5.x to the latest in-box version, by using the PowerShell sequencing commands. |
+ Make sure you have the complete App-V package or the MSI file from the original app. |
+
+
+ | Unable to modify the locale for auto-sequencing. |
+ Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Microsoft Application Virtualization\AutoSequencer\Unattend_Sequencer_User_Setup_Template.xml file and include the language code for your locale. For example, if you wanted Spanish (Spain), you'd use: es-ES. |
+
+
+ | Filetype and protocol handlers aren't registering properly with the Google Chrome browser, causing you to not see App-V packages as an option for default apps from the Settings > Apps> Default Apps area. |
+ The recommended workaround is to add the following code to the AppXManifest.xml file, underneath the <appv:Extensions> tag:

# Release Notes for App-V for Windows 10, version 1607
**Applies to**
- Windows 10, version 1607
-The following are known issues in Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows 10, version 1607.
+The following are known issues and workarounds for Application Virtualization (App-V) running on Windows 10, version 1607.
## Windows Installer packages (.msi files) generated by the App-V sequencer (version 5.1 and earlier) fail to install on computers with the in-box App-V client
-
MSI packages that were generated using an App-V sequencer from previous versions of App-V (App-V versions 5.1 and earlier) include a check to validate that the App-V client is installed on client devices before allowing the MSI package to install. Now that the App-V client is installed automatically when you upgrade user devices to Windows 10, version 1607, the pre-requisite check fails and causes the MSI to fail.

## Error occurs during publishing refresh between App-V 5.0 SP3 Management Server and App-V Client on Windows 10
-
An error is generated during publishing refresh when synchronizing packages from the App-V 5.0 SP3 management server to an App-V client on Windows 10. This error occurs because the App-V 5.0 SP3 server does not understand the Windows 10 operating system that is specified in the publishing URL. The issue is fixed for App-V publishing server, but is not backported to versions of App-V 5.0 SP3 or earlier.
**Workaround**: Upgrade the App-V 5.0 Management server to the App-V Management server for Windows 10 Clients.
## Custom configurations do not get applied for packages that will be published globally if they are set using the App-V Server
-
If you assign a package to an AD group that contains machine accounts and apply a custom configuration to that group using the App-V Server, the custom configuration will not be applied to those machines. The App-V Client will publish packages assigned to a machine account globally. However, it stores custom configuration files per user in each user’s profile. Globally published packages will not have access to this custom configuration.

Reason: 'Invalid column name 'PackageOptional'. Invalid column name 'VersionOptional'.”

## Users cannot open a package in a user-published connection group if you add or remove an optional package
-
In environments that are running the RDS Client or that have multiple concurrent users per computer, logged-in users cannot open applications in packages that are in a user-published connection group if an optional package is added to or removed from the connection group.
**Workaround**: Have users log out and then log back in.
## Error message is erroneously displayed when the connection group is published only to the user

When you run Repair-AppvClientConnectionGroup, the following error is displayed, even when the connection group is published only to the user: “Internal App-V Integration error: Package not integrated for the user. Please ensure that the package is added to the machine and published to the user.”

## Icons not displayed properly in Sequencer
-
Icons in the Shortcuts and File Type Associations tab are not displayed correctly when modifying a package in the App-V Sequencer. This problem occurs when the size of the icons are not 16x16 or 32x32.
**Workaround**: Only use icons that are 16x16 or 32x32.
## InsertVersionInfo.sql script no longer required for the Management Database

-
The InsertVersionInfo.sql script is not required for versions of the App-V management database later than App-V 5.0 SP3.

For App-V issues, use the [App-V TechNet Forum](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=mdopappv).
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>If you have an auto-saved template and you attempt to load another template through the _TemplateFilePath_ parameter, the customization value from the parameter will override the auto-saved template.
