- The Sync Controller Application Scheduled task is the crucial component when the UE-V SyncMethod is set to “SyncProvider” (UE-V default configuration). This scheduled task keeps the SettingsSToragePath synchronized with the locally cached versions of the settings package files. If users complain that settings don't synchronize often enough, then you can reduce the scheduled task setting to as little as 1 minute. You can also increase the 30-min default to a higher amount if necessary.

The result is a baseline CAB file that is ready for import into Configuration Manager. If at a future date, you update or add a template, you can rerun the command using the same baseline name. Importing the CAB results in CI version updates on the changed templates.

**Applies to**

User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) uses XML files called ***settings location templates*** to monitor and synchronize application settings and Windows settings between user devices. By default, some settings location templates are included in UE-V. However, if you want to synchronize settings for desktop applications other than those settings included in the default templates, you can create your own custom settings location templates with the UE-V template generator.

UE-V settings location templates can't be created from virtualized applications or Terminal Services applications. However, settings that are synchronized by using the templates can be applied to those applications. To create templates that support Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Terminal Services applications, open a version of the Windows Installer (.msi) package of the application by using the UE-V template generator.

UE-V includes a set of standard settings location templates. It also includes the UE-V template generator tool that enables you to create custom settings location templates. After you create and deploy settings location templates, you can manage those templates by using Windows PowerShell and the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

In the lifecycle of a User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) deployment, you might have to relocate the user settings packages either when you migrate to a new server or when you perform backups. Settings packages might have to be migrated in the following scenarios:

### Use Windows Server as of Windows Server 2003 to host redirected file shares
|

|
||||
User settings package files contain personal information that is transferred between the client computer and the server that stores the settings packages. Because of this process, you should ensure that the data is protected while it travels over the network.
|
||||
|
||||
User settings data is vulnerable to these potential threats: interception of the data as it passes over the network, tampering with the data as it passes over the network, and spoofing of the server that hosts the data.

As of Windows Server 2003, several features of the Windows Server operating system can help secure user data:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Kerberos** - Kerberos is standard on all versions of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server beginning with Windows Server 2003. Kerberos ensures the highest level of security to network resources. NTLM authenticates the client only; Kerberos authenticates the server and the client. When NTLM is used, the client doesn't know whether the server is valid. This difference is important if the client exchanges personal files with the server, as is the case with Roaming User Profiles. Kerberos provides better security than NTLM. Kerberos isn't available on the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 or earlier operating systems.

SMB signing provides this authentication by placing a digital signature into each SMB. The digital signature is then verified by both the client and the server. In order to use SMB signing, you must first either enable it, or you must require it on both the SMB client and the SMB server. The SMB signing imposes a performance penalty. It doesn't consume any more network bandwidth, but it uses more CPU cycles on the client and server side.

# Sync Methods for UE-V
|

|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
- Windows 10, version 1607
|
||||
|
||||
The User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) service lets you synchronize users’ application and Windows settings with the settings storage location. The *Sync Method* configuration defines how the UE-V service uploads and downloads those settings to the settings storage location. UE-V includes a SyncMethod called the *SyncProvider*. For more information about trigger events that start the synchronization of application and Windows settings, see [Sync Trigger Events for UE-V](uev-sync-trigger-events.md).

For more information about trigger events that start the synchronization of application and Windows settings, see [Sync Trigger Events for UE-V](uev-sync-trigger-events.md).
|

## SyncMethod Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
This table provides a description of each SyncMethod configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
| **SyncMethod Configuration** | **Description** |
|
||||
|------------------------------|---------------------|
|
||||
| SyncProvider (Default) | Settings changes for a specific application or for global Windows desktop settings are saved locally to a cache folder. These changes are then synchronized with the settings storage location when a synchronization trigger event takes place. Pushing out changes will save the local changes to the settings storage path.<br>This default setting is the gold standard for computers. This option attempts to synchronize the setting and times out after a short delay to ensure that the application or operating system startup isn’t delayed for a long period of time.<br>This functionality is also tied to the Scheduled task – Sync Controller Application. The administrator controls the frequency of the Scheduled task. By default, computers synchronize their settings every 30 min after logging on. |
|
||||
| External | This configuration method specifies that if UE-V settings are written to a local folder on the user computer, then any external sync engine (such as OneDrive for Business, Work Folders, Sharepoint, or Dropbox) can be used to apply these settings to the different computers that users access. |
|
||||
| None | This configuration setting is designed for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Streamed Application experience primarily. This setting should be used on computers running the Windows Server operating system in a datacenter, where the connection will always be available.<br>Any settings changes are saved directly to the server. If the network connection to the settings storage path isn't available, then the settings changes are cached on the device and are synchronized the next time that the Sync Provider runs. If the settings storage path isn't found and the user profile is removed from a pooled VDI environment on sign out, then these settings changes are lost, and the user must reapply the change when the computer can again reach the settings storage path.<br>Apps and OS will wait indefinitely for the location to be present. This waiting period could cause App load or OS sign-in time to dramatically increase if the location isn't found. |

# Using UE-V with Application Virtualization applications
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
- Windows 10, version 1607
|
||||
|
||||
User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) supports Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) applications without any required modifications to either the App-V package or the UE-V template. However, another step is required because you can't run the UE-V template generator directly on a virtualized App-V application. Instead, you must install the application locally, generate the template, and then apply the template to the virtualized application. UE-V supports App-V for Windows 10 packages and App-V 5.0 packages.

User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) uses XML files called ***settings location templates*** to monitor and synchronize application settings and Windows settings between user devices. By default, some settings location templates are included in UE-V. However, if you want to synchronize settings for desktop applications other than those settings included in the default templates, you can create your own custom settings location templates with the UE-V template generator. You can also edit or validate custom settings location templates with the UE-V template generator.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the UE-V template generator to monitor, discover, and capture the locations where Win32 applications store settings. The template generator doesn't create settings location templates for the following types of applications:

- Applications that are offered through Terminal Services
