 Device users can disconnect from MDM in the Settings app, to prevent further actions from being taken on their personal device. For instructions on disconnecting from MDM, see [Remove your Windows device from management](/mem/intune/user-help/unenroll-your-device-from-intune-windows).
 
 ## Why upgrade student-owned devices from Windows Home to Windows Education?

-# Windows 10 configuration recommendations for education customers
-
-Privacy is important to us, we want to provide you with ways to customize the OS diagnostic data, consumer experiences, Cortana, search, and some of the preinstalled apps, for usage with [education editions of Windows 10](windows-editions-for-education-customers.md) in education environments. These features work on all Windows 10 editions, but education editions of Windows 10 have the settings preconfigured. We recommend that all Windows 10 devices in an education setting be configured with **[SetEduPolicies](#setedupolicies)** enabled. For more information, see the following table. To learn more about Microsoft's commitment to privacy, see [Windows 10 and privacy](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=809305).
-
-We want all students to have the chance to use the apps they need for success in the classroom and all school personnel to have apps they need for their job. Students and school personnel who use assistive technology apps not available in the Microsoft Store, and use devices running Windows 10 S, will be able to configure the device at no extra charge to Windows 10 Pro Education. To learn more about the steps to configure this device, see [Switch to Windows 10 Pro Education from Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 S](change-to-pro-education.md).
-
-In Windows 10, version 1703 (Creators Update), it's straightforward to configure Windows to be education ready.

-
-## Recommended configuration
-It's easy to be education ready when using Microsoft products. We recommend the following configuration:
-
-1. Use an Office 365 Education tenant. 
-
-    With Office 365, you also have Microsoft Entra ID. To learn more about Office 365 Education features and pricing, see [Office 365 Education plans and pricing](https://products.office.com/en-us/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans).
-
-2. Activate Intune for Education in your tenant.
-
-    You can [sign up to learn more about Intune for Education](https://info.microsoft.com/US-WNDWS-CNTNT-FY17-01Jan-17-IntuneforEducationlandingpageandnurture292531_01Registration-ForminBody.html).
-
-3. On PCs running Windows 10, version 1703:
-   1. Provision the PC using one of these methods:
-      * [Provision PCs with the Set up School PCs app](use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md) - The usage of this method will automatically set both **SetEduPolicies** to True and **AllowCortana** to False.
-      * [Provision PCs with a custom package created with Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package) - Make sure to set both **SetEduPolicies** to True and **AllowCortana** to False.
-   2. Join the PC to Microsoft Entra ID.
-      * Use Set up School PCs or Windows Configuration Designer to bulk enroll to Microsoft Entra ID.
-      * Manually Microsoft Entra join the PC during the Windows device setup experience.
-   3. Enroll the PCs in MDM.
-      * If you've activated Intune for Education in your Microsoft Entra tenant, enrollment will happen automatically when the PC is joined to Microsoft Entra ID. Intune for Education will automatically set **SetEduPolicies** to True and **AllowCortana** to False.
-   4. Ensure that needed assistive technology apps can be used.
-      * If you've students or school personnel who rely on assistive technology apps that aren't available in the Microsoft Store, and who are using a Windows 10 S device, configure their device to Windows 10 Pro Education to allow the download and use of non-Microsoft Store assistive technology apps. See [Switch to Windows 10 Pro Education from Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 S](change-to-pro-education.md) for more info.
-
-4. Distribute the PCs to students.
-
-    Students sign in with their Azure AD/Office 365 identity, which enables single sign-on to Bing in Microsoft Edge, enabling an ad-free search experience with Bing in Microsoft Edge.
-
-5. Ongoing management through Intune for Education.
-
-    You can set many policies through Intune for Education, including **SetEduPolicies** and **AllowCortana**, for ongoing management of the PCs.
-
-## Configuring Windows
-You can configure Windows through provisioning or management tools including industry standard MDM.
-- Provisioning - A one-time setup process.
-- Management - A one-time and/or ongoing management of a PC by setting policies.
-
-You can set all the education compliance areas through both provisioning and management tools. Additionally, these Microsoft education tools will ensure PCs that you set up are education ready:
-- [Set up School PCs](use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md)
-- [Intune for Education](/intune-education/available-settings)
-
-## AllowCortana
-**AllowCortana** is a policy that enables or disables Cortana. It's a policy node in the Policy configuration service provider, [AllowCortana](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider#experience-allowcortana). 
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> See the [Recommended configuration](#recommended-configuration) section for recommended Cortana settings.
-
-Use one of these methods to set this policy.
-
-### MDM
-- Intune for Education automatically sets this policy in the **All devices** group policy configuration.
-- If you're using an MDM provider other than Intune for Education, check your MDM provider documentation on how to set this policy.
-  - If your MDM provider doesn't explicitly support this policy, you can manually set this policy if your MDM provider allows specific OMA-URIs to be manually set.
-
-      For example, in Intune, create a new configuration policy and add an OMA-URI. 
-    - OMA-URI:  ./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Experience/AllowCortana
-    - Data type:  Integer
-    - Value:  0
-
-### Group Policy
-Set **Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search > AllowCortana** to **Disabled**.
-
-### Provisioning tools
-- [Set up School PCs](use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md) always sets this policy in provisioning packages it creates.
-- [Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package) 
-    - Under **Runtime settings**, click the **Policies** settings group, set **Experience > Cortana** to **No**.
-
-## SetEduPolicies
-**SetEduPolicies** is a policy that applies a set of configuration behaviors to Windows. It's a policy node in the [SharedPC configuration service provider](/windows/client-management/mdm/sharedpc-csp).
-
-Use one of these methods to set this policy. 
-
-### MDM
-- Intune for Education automatically sets this policy in the **All devices** group policy configuration.
-- If you're using an MDM provider other than Intune for Education, check your MDM provider documentation on how to set this policy.
-  - If your MDM provider doesn't explicitly support this policy, you can manually set this policy if your MDM provider allows specific OMA-URIs to be manually set.
-
-      For example, in Intune, create a new configuration policy and add an OMA-URI.
-    - OMA-URI:  ./Vendor/MSFT/SharedPC/SetEduPolicies
-    - Data type:  Boolean
-    - Value:  true
-
-      ![Create an OMA URI for SetEduPolices.](images/setedupolicies_omauri.png)
-
-### Group Policy
-**SetEduPolicies** isn't natively supported in Group Policy. Instead, use the [MDM Bridge WMI Provider](/windows/win32/dmwmibridgeprov/mdm-bridge-wmi-provider-portal) to set the policy in [MDM SharedPC](/windows/win32/dmwmibridgeprov/mdm-sharedpc). 
-
-For example:
-
-- Open PowerShell as an administrator and enter the following:
-
-    ```
-    $sharedPC = Get-CimInstance -Namespace "root\cimv2\mdm\dmmap" -ClassName "MDM_SharedPC"
-
-    $sharedPC.SetEduPolicies = $True
-
-    Set-CimInstance -CimInstance $sharedPC
-
-    Get-CimInstance -Namespace $namespaceName -ClassName $MDM_SharedPCClass
-    ```
-
-### Provisioning tools
-- [Set up School PCs](use-set-up-school-pcs-app.md) always sets this policy in provisioning packages it creates.
-- [Windows Configuration Designer](/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provisioning-create-package) 
-    - Under **Runtime settings**, click the **SharedPC** settings group, set **PolicyCustomization > SetEduPolicies** to **True**.
-
-        ![Set SetEduPolicies to True in Windows Configuration Designer.](images/wcd/setedupolicies.png)
-
-## Ad-free search with Bing
-Provide an ad-free experience that is a safer, more private search option for K–12 education institutions in the United States. 
-
-### Configurations
-
-<a name='azure-ad-and-office-365-education-tenant'></a>
-
-#### Microsoft Entra ID and Office 365 Education tenant
-To suppress ads when searching with Bing on Microsoft Edge on any network, follow these steps:
-
-1. Ensure your Office 365 tenant is registered as an education tenant. For more information, see [Verify your Office 365 domain to prove education status](https://support.office.com/article/Verify-your-Office-365-domain-to-prove-ownership-nonprofit-or-education-status-or-to-activate-viva-engage-87d1844e-aa47-4dc0-a61b-1b773fd4e590).
-2. Domain join the Windows 10 PCs to your Microsoft Entra tenant (this tenant is the same as your Office 365 tenant).
-3. Configure **SetEduPolicies** according to one of the methods described in the previous sections in this topic.
-4. Have students sign in with their Microsoft Entra identity, which is the same as your Office 365 identity, to use the PC.
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you are verifying your Office 365 domain to prove education status (step 1 above), you may need to wait up to 7 days for the ad-free experience to take effect. Microsoft recommends not to roll out the browser to your students until that time.
-
-#### Office 365 sign-in to Bing
-To suppress ads only when the student signs into Bing with their Office 365 account in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:
-
-1. Configure **SetEduPolicies** according to one of the methods described in the previous sections in this topic.
-2. Have students sign into Bing with their Office 365 account.

-# Configure applications with Microsoft Intune
-
-With Intune for Education, school IT administrators have access to diverse applications to help students unlock their learning potential. This section discusses tools and resources for adding apps to Intune for Education.
-
-Applications can be assigned to groups:
-
-- If you target apps to a **group of users**, the apps will be installed on any managed devices that the users sign into
-- If you target apps to a **group of devices**, the apps will be installed on those devices and available to any user who signs in
-

-## Add apps to Intune for Education
-
-Intune for Education supports the deployment of two types of Windows applications: **web apps** and **desktop apps**.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/intune-education-apps.png" alt-text="Intune for Education - Apps" lightbox="./images/intune-education-apps.png" border="true":::
-
-### Desktop apps
-
-The addition of desktop applications to Intune should be carried out by repackaging the apps, and defining the commands to silently install them. The process is described in the article [Add, assign, and monitor a Win32 app in Microsoft Intune][MEM-1].
-
-### Web apps
-
-To create web applications in Intune for Education:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Apps**
-1. Select **New app** > **New web app**
-1. Provide a URL for the web app, a name and, optionally, an icon and description
-1. Select **Save**
-
-For more information, see [Add web apps][INT-2].
-
-## Assign apps to groups
-
-To assign applications to a group of users or devices:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Groups** > Pick a group to manage
-1. Select **Apps**
-1. Select either **Web apps** or **Windows apps**

-# Configure and secure devices with Microsoft Intune
-
-With Intune for Education, you can configure settings for devices in the school, to ensure that they comply with specific policies.
-For example, you may need to secure your devices, ensuring that they are kept up to date. Or you may need to configure all the devices with the same look and feel.
-
-Settings can be assigned to groups:
-
-- If you target settings to a **group of users**, those settings will apply, regardless of what managed devices the targeted users sign in to
-- If you target settings to a **group of devices**, those settings will apply regardless of who is using the devices
-
-There are two ways to manage settings in Intune for Education:
-
-- **Express Configuration.** This option is used to configure a selection of settings that are commonly used in school environments
-- **Group settings.** This option is used to configure all settings that are offered by Intune for Education
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Express Configuration is ideal when you are getting started. Settings are pre-configured to Microsoft-recommended values, but can be changed to fit your school's needs. It is recommended to use Express Configuration to initially set up your Windows devices.

-# Configure settings and applications with Microsoft Intune
-
-Before distributing devices to your users, you must ensure that the devices will be configured with the required policies, settings, and applications as they get enrolled in Intune.
-Microsoft Intune uses Microsoft Entra groups to assign policies and applications to devices.
-With Microsoft Intune for Education, you can conveniently create groups and assign policies and applications to them.
-
-
-> [!div class="checklist"]
->In this section you will:
->
-> - Create groups
-> - Create and assign policies to groups
-> - Create and assign applications to groups
-
-## Create groups
-
-By organizing devices, students, classrooms, or learning curricula into groups, you can provide students with the resources and configurations they need.
-
-By default, Intune for Education creates two default groups: *All devices* and *All users*.
-Two additional groups are pre-created if you use **Microsoft School Data Sync (SDS)**: *All teachers* and *All students*. SDS can also be configured to automatically create and maintain groups of students and teachers for each school.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/intune-education-groups.png" alt-text="Intune for Education - Groups blade" border="true":::
-
-Beyond the defaults, groups can be customized to suit various needs. For example, if you have both *Windows 10* and *Windows 11 SE* devices in your school, you can create groups, such as *Windows 10 devices* and *Windows 11 SE devices*, to assign different policies and applications to.
-
-Two group types can be created:
-
-- **Assigned groups** are used when you want to manually add users or devices to a group
-- **Dynamic groups** reference rules that you create to assign students or devices to groups, which automate the membership's maintenance of those groups
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you target applications and policies to a *device dynamic group*, they will be applied to the devices as soon as they are enrolled in Intune, before users signs in. This can be useful in bulk enrollment scenarios, where devices are enrolled without requiring users to sign in. Devices can be configured and prepared in advance, before distribution.
-
-For more information, see:
-

-- [Manually add or remove users and devices to an existing assigned group][EDU-2]
-- [Edit dynamic group rules to accommodate for new devices, locations, or school years][EDU-3]

-title: Enrollment in Intune with Windows Autopilot
-description: Learn how to join Microsoft Entra ID and enroll in Intune using Windows Autopilot.
-ms.date: 01/16/2024
-ms.topic: tutorial
----
-
-# Windows Autopilot
-
-Windows Autopilot is designed to simplify all parts of Windows devices lifecycle, from initial deployment through end of life. Using cloud-based services, Windows Autopilot can reduce the overall costs for deploying, managing, and retiring devices.
-
-Traditionally, IT pros spend a significant amount of time building and customizing images that will later be deployed to devices. Windows Autopilot introduces a new, simplified approach. Devices don't need to be reimaged, rather they can be deployed with the OEM image, and customized using cloud-based services.
-
-From the user's perspective, it only takes a few simple operations to make their device ready to use. The only interaction required from the end user is to set their language and regional settings, connect to a network, and verify their credentials. Everything beyond that is automated.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before setting up Windows Autopilot, consider these prerequisites:
-
-- **Software requirements.** Ensure your school and devices meet the [software, networking, licensing, and configuration requirements][WIN-1] for Windows Autopilot
-- **Devices ordered and registered.** Ensure your school IT administrator or Microsoft partner has ordered the devices from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and registered them for the Autopilot deployment service. To connect with a partner, you can use the [Microsoft Partner Center][MSFT-1] and work with them to register your devices
-- **Networking requirements.** Ensure students know to connect to the school network during OOBE setup. For more information on managing devices behind firewalls and proxy servers, see [Network endpoints for Microsoft Intune][MEM-1]
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Where not explicitly specified, both HTTPS (443) and HTTP (80) must be accessible. If you are auto-enrolling your devices into Microsoft Intune or deploying Microsoft Office, follow the networking guidelines for [<u>Microsoft Intune</u>][INT-1] and [<u>Microsoft 365</u>][M365-1].
-
-## Register devices to Windows Autopilot
-
-Before deployment, devices must be registered in the Windows Autopilot service. Each device's unique hardware identity (known as a *hardware hash*) must be uploaded to the Autopilot service. In this way, the Autopilot service can recognize which tenant devices belong to, and which OOBE experience it should present. There are three main ways to register devices to Autopilot:
-
-- **OEM registration process.** When you purchase devices from an OEM or Reseller, that company can automatically register devices to Windows Autopilot and associate them to your tenant. Before this registration can happen, a *Global Administrator* must grant the OEM/Reseller permissions to register devices. For more information, see [OEM registration][MEM-2]
-    > [!NOTE]
-    > For **Microsoft Surface registration**, collect the details shown in this [<u>documentation table</u>][SURF-1] and follow the instruction to submit the request form to Microsoft Support.
-- **Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) registration process.** As with OEMs, CSP partners must be granted permission to register devices for a school. For more information, see [Partner registration][MEM-5]
-    > [!TIP]
-    > Try the <a href="https://cloudpartners.transform.microsoft.com/resources/autopilot-in-edu-setup-english" target="_blank"><u>Microsoft Partner Center clickable demo</u></a>, which provides detailed steps to establish a partner relationship and register devices.
-- **Manual registration.** To manually register a device, you must first capture its hardware hash. Once this process has been completed, the hardware hash can be uploaded to the Windows Autopilot service using [Microsoft Intune][MEM-6]
-    > [!IMPORTANT]
-    > **Windows 11 SE** devices do not support the use of Windows PowerShell or Microsoft Configuration Manager to capture hardware hashes. Hardware hashes can only be captured manually. We recommend working with an OEM, partner, or device reseller to register devices.
-
-## Create groups for Autopilot devices
-
-**Windows Autopilot deployment profiles** determine the Autopilot *deployment mode* and define the out-of-box experience of your devices. A device group is required to assign a Windows Autopilot deployment profile to the devices.
-For this task, it's recommended to create dynamic device groups using Autopilot attributes.
-
-Here are the steps for creating a dynamic group for the devices that have an assigned Autopilot group tag:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Groups** > **Create group**
-1. Specify a **Group name** and select **Dynamic**

-
-> [!TIP]
-> You can use these dynamic groups not only to assign Autopilot profiles, but also to target applications and settings.
-
-## Create Autopilot deployment profiles
-
-For Autopilot devices to offer a customized OOBE experience, you must create **Windows Autopilot deployment profiles** and assign them to a group containing the devices.
-A deployment profile is a collection of settings that determine the behavior of the device during OOBE. Among other settings, a deployment profile specifies a **deployment mode**, which can either be:
-
-1. **User-driven:** devices with this profile are associated with the user enrolling the device. User credentials are required to complete the Microsoft Entra join process during OOBE
-1. **Self-deploying:** devices with this profile aren't associated with the user enrolling the device. User credentials aren't required to complete the Microsoft Entra join process. Rather, the device is joined automatically and, for this reason, specific hardware requirements must be met to use this mode
-
-To create an Autopilot deployment profile:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Groups** > Select a group from the list
-1. Select **Windows device settings**
-1. Expand the **Enrolment** category
-1. From **Configure Autopilot deployment profile for device** select **User-driven**
-1. Ensure that **User account type** is configured as **Standard**
-1. Select **Save**
-
-While Intune for Education offers simple options for Autopilot configurations, more advanced deployment profiles can be created from Microsoft Intune admin center. For more information, see [Windows Autopilot deployment profiles][MEM-4].
-
-### Configure an Enrollment Status Page
-
-An Enrollment Status Page (ESP) is a greeting page displayed to users while enrolling or signing in for the first time to Windows devices. The ESP displays provisioning progress, showing applications and profiles installation status.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/win11-oobe-esp.gif" alt-text="Windows OOBE - enrollment status page animation." border="false":::
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Some Windows Autopilot deployment profiles **require** the ESP to be configured.
-
-To deploy the ESP to devices, you need to create an ESP profile in Microsoft Intune.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> While testing the deployment process, you can configure the ESP to:
-> - allow the reset of the devices in case the installation fails
-> - allow the use of the  device if installation error occurs
->
-> This enables you to troubleshoot the installation process in case any issues arise and to easily reset the OS. You can turn these settings off once you are done testing.
-
-For more information, see [Set up the Enrollment Status Page][MEM-3].
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> The Enrollment Status Page (ESP) is compatible with Windows 11 SE. However, due to the E Mode policy, devices may not complete the enrollment. For more information, see [Enrollment Status Page][EDU-3].
-
-### Autopilot end-user experience
-
-Once configuration is complete and devices are distributed, students and teachers are able to complete the out-of-box experience with Autopilot. They can set up their devices at home, at school, or wherever there's a reliable Internet connection.
-When a Windows device is turned on for the first time, the end-user experience with Windows Autopilot is as follows:
-
-1. Identify the language and region
-1. Select the keyboard layout and decide on the option for a second keyboard layout
-1. Connect to the internet: if connecting through Wi-Fi, the user will be prompted to connect to a wireless network. If the device is connected through an ethernet cable, Windows will skip this step
-1. Apply updates: the device will look for and apply required updates
-1. Windows will detect if the device has an Autopilot profile assigned to it. If so, it will proceed with the customized OOBE experience. If the Autopilot profile specifies a naming convention for the device, the device will be renamed, and a reboot will occur
-1. The user authenticates to Microsoft Entra ID, using the school account
-1. The device joins Microsoft Entra ID, enrolls in Intune and all the settings and applications are configured
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Some of these steps may be skipped, depending on the Autopilot profile configuration and if the device is using a wired connection.

-description: Learn about the different options to enroll Windows devices in Microsoft Intune
-ms.date: 11/09/2023
-ms.topic: overview
----
-
-# Device enrollment overview
-
-There are three main methods for joining Windows devices to Microsoft Entra ID and getting them enrolled and managed by Intune:
-
-- **Automatic Intune enrollment via Microsoft Entra join** happens when a user first turns on a device that is in out-of-box experience (OOBE), and selects the option to join Microsoft Entra ID. In this scenario, the user can customize certain Windows functionalities before reaching the desktop, and becomes a local administrator of the device. This option isn't an ideal enrollment method for education devices
-- **Bulk enrollment with provisioning packages.** Provisioning packages are files that can be used to set up Windows devices, and can include information to connect to Wi-Fi networks and to join a Microsoft Entra tenant. Provisioning packages can be created using either **Set Up School PCs** or **Windows Configuration Designer** applications. These files can be applied during or after the out-of-box experience
-- **Enrollment via Windows Autopilot.** Windows Autopilot is a collection of cloud services to configure the out-of-box experience, enabling light-touch or zero-touch deployment scenarios. Windows Autopilot simplifies the Windows device lifecycle, from initial deployment to end of life, for OEMs, resellers, IT administrators and end users
-
-## Choose the enrollment method
-
-**Windows Autopilot** and the **Set up School PCs** app are usually the most efficient options for school environments.
-This [table][INT-1] describes the ideal scenarios for using either option. It's recommended to review the table when planning your enrollment and deployment strategies.
-

-title: Enrollment of Windows devices with provisioning packages
-description: Learn about how to enroll Windows devices with provisioning packages using SUSPCs and Windows Configuration Designer.
-ms.date: 11/09/2023
-ms.topic: tutorial
----
-
-# Enrollment with provisioning packages
-
-Enrolling devices with provisioning packages is an efficient way to deploy a large number of Windows devices. Some of the benefits of provisioning packages are:
-
-- There are no particular hardware dependencies on the devices to complete the enrollment process
-- Devices don't need to be registered in advance
-- Enrollment is a simple task: just open a provisioning package and the process is automated
-
-You can create provisioning packages using either **Set Up School PCs** or **Windows Configuration Designer** applications, which are described in the following sections.
-
-## Set up School PCs
-
-With Set up School PCs, you can create a package containing the most common device configurations that students need, and enroll devices in Intune. The package is saved on a USB stick, which can then be plugged into devices during OOBE. Applications and settings will be automatically applied to the devices, including the Microsoft Entra join and Intune enrollment process.
-
-### Create a provisioning package
-
-The Set Up School PCs app guides you through configuration choices for school-owned devices.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/supcs-win11se.png" alt-text="Configure device settings in Set Up School PCs app" border="false":::
-
-> [!CAUTION]
-> If you are creating a provisioning package for **Windows 11 SE** devices, ensure to select the correct *OS version* in the *Configure device settings* page.
-
-Set Up School PCs will configure many settings, allowing you to optimize devices for shared use and other scenarios.
-
-For more information on prerequisites, configuration, and recommendations, see [Use the Set Up School PCs app][EDU-1].
-
-> [!TIP]
-> To learn more and practice with Set up School PCs, try the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/interactive-demos/enroll-devices-at-scale" target="_blank"><u>Set Up School PCs demo</u></a>, which provides detailed steps to create a provisioning package and deploy a device.
-## Windows Configuration Designer
-
-Windows Configuration Designer is especially useful in scenarios where a school needs to provision packages for both bring-you-own devices and school-owned devices. Differently from Set Up School PCs, Windows Configuration Designer doesn't offer a guided experience, and allows granular customizations, including the possibility to embed scripts in the package.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/wcd.png" alt-text="Set up device page in Windows Configuration Designer" border="false":::
-
-For more information, see [Install Windows Configuration Designer][WIN-1], which provides details about the app, its provisioning process, and considerations for its use.
-
-## Enroll devices with the provisioning package
-
-To provision Windows devices with provisioning packages, insert the USB stick containing the package during the out-of-box experience. The devices will read the content of the package, join Microsoft Entra ID and automatically enroll in Intune.
-All settings defined in the package and in Intune will be applied to the device, and the device will be ready to use.

-# Device reset options
-
-There are different scenarios that require a device to be reset, for example:
-
-- The device isn't responding to commands
-- The device is lost or stolen
-- It's the end of the life of the device
-- It's the end of the school year and you want to prepare the device for a new school year
-- The device has hardware problems and you want to send it to the service center
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/retire.png" alt-text="The device lifecycle for Intune-managed devices - retirement" border="false":::
-
-Intune for Education provides two device reset functionalities that enable IT administrators to remotely execute them:
-
-- **Factory reset** (also known as **wipe**) is used to wipe all data and settings from the device, returning it to the default factory settings
-- **Autopilot reset** is used to return the device to a fully configured or known IT-approved state
-
-## Factory reset (wipe)
-
-A factory reset, or a wipe, reverts a device to the original settings when it was purchased. All settings, applications and data installed on the device after purchase are removed. The device is also removed from Intune management.
-
-Once the wipe is completed, the device will be in out-of-box experience.
-
-Here are the steps to perform a factory reset from Intune for Education: 
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Devices**
-1. Select the device you want to reset > **Factory reset**
-1. Select **Factory reset** to confirm the action
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/win11-wipe.png" alt-text="Three screenshots showing the device being wiped, ending up in OOBE" lightbox="./images/win11-wipe.png" border="false":::
-
-Consider using factory reset in the following example scenarios:
-
-- The device isn't working properly, and you want to reset it without reimaging it
-- It's the end of school year and you want to prepare the device for a new school year
-- You need to reassign the device to a different student, and you want to reset the device to its original settings
-- You're returning a device to the service center, and you want to remove all data and settings from the device
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Consider that once the device is wiped, the new user will go through OOBE. This option may be ideal if the device is also registered in Autopilot to make the OOBE experience seamless, or if you plan to use a provisioning package to re-enroll the device.
-
-## Autopilot Reset
-
-Autopilot Reset is ideal when all data on a device needs to be wiped, but the device remains enrolled in your tenant.
-
-Once the Autopilot reset action is completed, the device will ask to chose region and keyboard layout, then it will display the sign-in screen.
-
-Here are the steps to perform an Autopilot reset from Intune for Education: 
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://intuneeducation.portal.azure.com/" target="_blank"><b>Intune for Education portal</b></a>
-1. Select **Devices**
-1. Select the device you want to reset > **Autopilot reset**
-1. Select **Autopilot reset** to confirm the action
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/win11-autopilot-reset.png" alt-text="Three screenshots showing the device being wiped, ending up in the login screen" border="false":::
-
-Consider using Autopilot reset in the following example scenarios:
-
-- The device isn't working properly, and you want to reset it without reimaging it
-- It's the end of school year and you want to prepare the device for a new school year
-- You need to reassign the device to a different student, and you want to reset the device to without requiring the student to go through OOBE
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Consider that the end user will **not** go through OOBE, and the association of the user to  the device in Intune doesn't change. For this reason, this option may be ideal for devices that have been enrolled in Intune as *shared devices* (for example, a device that was enrolled with a provisioning package or using Autopilot self-deploying mode).

-## Wiping and deleting a device
-
-There are scenarios that require a device to be deleted from your tenant, for example:
-
-- The device is lost or stolen
-- It's the end of the life of the device
-- The device has been replaced with a new device or has its motherboard replaced
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> The following actions should only be performed for devices that are no longer going to be used in your tenant.
-
- To completely remove a device, you need to perform the following actions:
-
-1. If possible, perform a **factory reset (wipe)** of the device. If the device can't be wiped, delete the device from Intune using [these steps][MEM-1]
-1. If the device is registered in Autopilot, delete the Autopilot object using [these steps][MEM-2]
-1. Delete the device from Microsoft Entra ID using [these steps][MEM-3]
-
-## Autopilot considerations for a motherboard replacement scenario
-
-Repairing Autopilot-enrolled devices can be complex, as OEM requirements must be balanced with Autopilot requirements. If a motherboard replacement is needed on an Autopilot device, it's suggested the following process:
-
-1. Deregister the device from Autopilot
-1. Replace the motherboard
-1. Capture a new device ID (4K HH)
-1. Re-register the device with Autopilot
-    > [!IMPORTANT]
-    > For DFCI management, the device must be re-registered by a partner or OEM. Self-registration of devices is not supported with DFCI management.
-1. Reset the device
-1. Return the device
-
-For more information, see [Autopilot motherboard replacement scenario guidance][MEM-4].

-# Set up Microsoft Entra ID
-
-The Microsoft platform for education simplifies the management of Windows devices with Intune for Education and Microsoft 365 Education. The first, fundamental step, is to configure the identity infrastructure to manage user access and permissions for your school.
-
-Microsoft Entra ID, which is included with the Microsoft 365 Education subscription, provides authentication and authorization to any Microsoft cloud services. Identity objects are defined in Microsoft Entra ID for human identities, like students and teachers, as well as non-human identities, like devices, services, and applications. Once users get Microsoft 365 licenses assigned, they'll be able to consume services and access resources within the tenant. With Microsoft 365 Education, you can manage identities for your teachers and students, assign licenses to devices and users, and create groups for the classrooms.
-
-> [!div class="checklist"]
->In this section you will:
->
-> - Set up a Microsoft 365 Education tenant
-> - Add users, create groups, and assign licenses
-> - Configure school branding
-> - Enable bulk enrollment
-
-## Create a Microsoft 365 tenant
-
-If you don't already have a Microsoft 365 tenant, you'll need to create one.
-
-For more information, see [Create your Office 365 tenant account][M365-1]
-
-> [!TIP]
-> To learn more, and practice how to configure the Microsoft 365 tenant for your school, try <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/interactive-demos/set-up-Microsoft-365" target="_blank"><u>this interactive demo</u></a>.
-### Explore the Microsoft 365 admin center
-
-The **Microsoft 365 admin center** is the hub for all administrative consoles for the Microsoft 365 cloud. To access the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><u>Microsoft Entra admin center</u></a>, sign in with the same global administrator account when you [created the Microsoft 365 tenant](#create-a-microsoft-365-tenant).
-
-From the Microsoft 365 admin center, you can access different administrative dashboards: Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune, Intune for Education, and others:
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/m365-admin-center.png" alt-text="*All admin centers* page in *Microsoft 365 admin center*" lightbox="./images/m365-admin-center.png" border="true":::
-
-For more information, see [Overview of the Microsoft 365 admin center][M365-2].
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Setting up your school's basic cloud infrastructure does not require you to complete the rest of the Microsoft 365 setup. For this reason, we will skip directly to adding students and teachers as users in the Microsoft 365 tenant.
-
-## Add users, create groups, and assign licenses
-
-With the Microsoft 365 tenant in place, it's time to add users, create groups, and assign licenses. All students and teachers need a user account before they can sign in and access the different Microsoft 365 services. There are multiple ways to do this, including using School Data Sync (SDS), synchronizing an on-premises Active Directory, manually, or a combination of the above.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Synchronizing your Student Information System (SIS) with School Data Sync is the preferred way to create students and teachers as users in a Microsoft 365 Education tenant. However, if you want to integrate an on-premises directory and synchronize accounts to the cloud, skip to [Microsoft Entra Connect Sync](#microsoft-entra-connect-sync) below.
-
-### School Data Sync
-
-School Data Sync (SDS) imports and synchronizes SIS data to create classes in Microsoft 365, such as Microsoft 365 groups and class teams in Microsoft Teams. SDS can be used to create new, cloud-only, identities or to evolve existing identities. Users evolve into *students* or *teachers* and are associated with a *grade*, *school*, and other education-specific attributes.
-
-For more information, see [Overview of School Data Sync][SDS-1].
-
-> [!TIP]
-> To learn more and practice with School Data Sync, follow the <a href="https://interactiveguides-schooldatasync.azurewebsites.net/" target="_blank"><u>Microsoft School Data Sync demo</u></a>, which provides detailed steps to access, configure, and deploy School Data Sync in your Microsoft 365 Education tenant.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You can perform a test deployment by cloning or downloading sample SDS CSV school data from the [<u>O365-EDU-Tools GitHub site</u>](https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-EDU-Tools).
->
-> Remember that you should typically deploy test SDS data (users, groups, and so on) in a separate test tenant, not your school production environment.
-
-### Microsoft Entra Connect Sync
-
-To integrate an on-premises directory with Microsoft Entra ID, you can use **Microsoft Entra Connect** to synchronize users, groups, and other objects. Microsoft Entra Connect lets you configure the authentication method appropriate for your school, including:
-
-- [Password hash synchronization][AAD-1]
-- [Pass-through authentication][AAD-2]
-- [Federated authentication][AAD-3]
-
-For more information, see [Set up directory synchronization for Microsoft 365][O365-1].
-
-### Create users manually
-
-In addition to the above methods, you can manually add users and groups, and assign licenses through the Microsoft 365 admin center.
-
-There are two options for adding users manually, either individually or in bulk:
-
-1. To add students and teachers as users in Microsoft 365 Education *individually*:
-    - Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-    - Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Users** > **All users** > **New user** > **Create new user**
-    For more information, see [Add users and assign licenses at the same time][M365-3].
-1. To add *multiple* users to Microsoft 365 Education:
-    - Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-    - Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Users** > **All users** > **Bulk operations** > **Bulk create**
-
-For more information, see [Add multiple users in the Microsoft 365 admin center][M365-4].
-
-### Create groups
-
-Creating groups is important to simplify multiple tasks, like assigning licenses, delegating administration, deploy settings, applications or to distribute assignments to students. To create groups:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-1. Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Groups** > **All groups** > **New group**
-1. On the **New group** page, select **Group type** > **Security**
-1. Provide a group name and add members, as needed
-1. Select **Next**
-
-For more information, see [Create a group in the Microsoft 365 admin center][M365-5].
-
-### Assign licenses
-
-The recommended way to assign licenses is through group-based licensing. With this method, Microsoft Entra ID ensures that licenses are assigned to all members of the group. Any new members who join the group are assigned the appropriate licenses, and when members leave, their licenses are removed.
-
-To assign a license to a group:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-1. Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Show More** > **Billing** > **Licenses**
-1. Select the required products that you want to assign licenses for > **Assign**
-1. Add the groups to which the licenses should be assigned
-
-   :::image type="content" source="images/entra-assign-licenses.png" alt-text="Assign licenses from Microsoft Entra admin center." lightbox="images/entra-assign-licenses.png":::
-
-For more information, see [Group-based licensing using Microsoft Entra admin center][AAD-4].
-
-## Configure school branding
-
-Configuring your school branding enables a more familiar Autopilot experience to students and teachers. With a custom school branding, you can define a custom logo and a welcome message, which will appear during the Windows out-of-box experience.
-
-To configure your school's branding:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-1. Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Show More** > **User experiences** > **Company branding**
-1. You can specify brand settings like background image, logo, username hint and a sign-in page text
-    :::image type="content" source="images/entra-branding.png" alt-text="Configure Microsoft Entra ID branding from Microsoft Entra admin center." lightbox="images/entra-branding.png":::
-1. To adjust the school tenant's name displayed during OOBE, select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Overview** > **Properties**
-1. In the **Name** field, enter the school district or organization's name > **Save**
-    :::image type="content" alt-text="Configure Microsoft Entra tenant name from Microsoft Entra admin center." source="images/entra-tenant-name.png" lightbox="images/entra-tenant-name.png":::
-
-For more information, see [Add branding to your directory][AAD-5].
-
-## Enable bulk enrollment
-
-If you decide to enroll Windows devices using provisioning packages instead of Windows Autopilot, you must ensure that the provisioning packages can join Windows devices to the Microsoft Entra tenant.
-
-To allow provisioning packages to complete the Microsoft Entra join process:
-
-1. Sign in to the <a href="https://entra.microsoft.com" target="_blank"><b>Microsoft Entra admin center</b></a>
-1. Select **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Devices** > **Device Settings**
-1. Under **Users may join devices to Microsoft Entra ID**, select **All**
-    > [!NOTE]
-    > If it is required that only specific users can join devices to Microsoft Entra ID, select **Selected**. Ensure that the user account that will create provisioning packages is included in the list of users.
-1. Select Save
-    :::image type="content" source="images/entra-device-settings.png" alt-text="Configure device settings from Microsoft Entra admin center." lightbox="images/entra-device-settings.png":::

-# Set up Microsoft Intune
-
-Without the proper tools and resources, managing hundreds or thousands of devices in a school environment can be a complex and time-consuming task. Microsoft Intune is a collection of services that simplifies the management of devices at scale.
-
-The Microsoft Intune service can be managed in different ways, and one of them is **Intune for Education**, a web portal designed for education environments.
-
-:::image type="content" source="./images/intune-education-portal.png" alt-text="Intune for Education dashboard" lightbox="./images/intune-education-portal.png" border="true":::
-
-**Intune for Education** supports the entire device lifecycle, from the enrollment phase through retirement. IT administrators can start managing classroom devices with bulk enrollment options and a streamlined deployment. At the end of the school year, IT admins can reset devices, ensuring they're ready for the next year.
-
-For more information, see [Intune for Education documentation][INT-1].
-
-> [!div class="checklist"]
->In this section you will:
->
-> - Review Intune's licensing prerequisites
-> - Configure the Intune service for education devices
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before configuring settings with Intune for Education, consider the following prerequisites:
-
-- **Intune subscription.** Microsoft Intune is licensed in three ways:
-  - As a standalone service
-  - As part of [Enterprise Mobility + Security][MSFT-1]
-  - As part of a [Microsoft 365 Education subscription][MSFT-2]
-- **Device platform.** Intune for Education can manage devices running a supported version of Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 11 SE, iOS, and iPad OS
-
-For more information, see [Intune licensing][MEM-1] and [this comparison sheet][MSFT-3], which includes a table detailing the *Microsoft Modern Work Plan for Education*.
-
-## Configure the Intune service for education devices
-
-The Intune service can be configured in different ways, depending on the needs of your school. In this section, you'll configure the Intune service using settings commonly implemented by K-12 school districts.
-
-### Configure enrollment restrictions
-
-With enrollment restrictions, you can prevent certain types of devices from being enrolled and therefore managed by Intune. For example, you can prevent the enrollment of devices that are not owned by the school.
-
-To block personally owned Windows devices from enrolling:
-
-1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
-1. Select **Devices** > **Enroll devices** > **Enrollment device platform restrictions**

-
-### Disable Windows Hello for Business
-
-Windows Hello for Business is a biometric authentication feature that allows users to sign in to their devices using a PIN, password, or fingerprint. Windows Hello for Business is enabled by default on Windows devices, and to set it up, users must perform for multi-factor authentication (MFA). As a result, this feature may not be ideal for students, who may not have MFA enabled.
-It's suggested to disable Windows Hello for Business on Windows devices at the tenant level, and enabling it only for devices that need it, for example for teachers and staff devices.
-To disable Windows Hello for Business at the tenant level:
-
-1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
-1. Select **Devices** > **Windows** > **Windows Enrollment**
-1. Select **Windows Hello for Business**
-1. Ensure that **Configure Windows Hello for Business** is set to **disabled**
-1. Select **Save**

-# What's new in App-V for Windows 10, version 1703 and earlier
-
->Applies to: Windows 10, version 1703 and earlier
-
-Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows 10 delivers Win32 applications to users as virtual applications. Virtual applications are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to users as a service in real time and on an as-needed basis. Users launch virtual applications from familiar access points and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
-
-## What's new in App-V Windows 10, version 1703
-
-### Auto-sequence and update your App-V packages singly or as a batch
-
-Previous versions of the App-V Sequencer required manual sequencing and updating of app packages. This was time-consuming and required extensive interaction, causing many companies to deploy brand-new packages rather than update an existing one. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces the App-V Auto-Sequencer, which automatically sequences your app packages, improving your overall experience by streamlining prerequisite environment provisioning, automating app installation, and expediting package updating setup.
-
-Using the automatic sequencer to package your apps gives you the following benefits:
-
-* **Automatic virtual machine (VM) sequencing environment provisioning**. To learn more, see [Automatically provision your sequencing environment using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-provision-a-vm.md).
-* **Package batch-sequencing**. This benefit denotes that multiple apps can be sequenced at the same time, in a single group. To learn more, see [Automatically sequence multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-sequencing.md).
-* **Package batch-updating**. This benefit denotes that multiple apps can be updated at the same time, in a single group. To learn more, see [Automatically update multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-updating.md).
-
-### Updates to the App-V project template
-
-Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, you can now save an App-V project template (.appvt) file as part of a sequenced App-V package. This file will automatically load every time you open the package for edits or updates. Your template can include general option settings, file exclusion list settings, and target operating system settings. To learn more, see [Create and apply an App-V project template to a sequenced App-V package](../app-v/appv-create-and-use-a-project-template.md).
-
-### Automatically clean up unpublished App-V packages from the App-V client
-
-Previous versions of App-V have required you to manually remove your unpublished packages from your client devices, to free up more storage space. Windows 10, version 1703 introduces the ability to use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically clean up your unpublished packages after a device restart. To learn more, see [Automatically clean up unpublished packages on the App-V client](../app-v/appv-auto-clean-unpublished-packages.md).
-
-## What's new in App-V in Windows 10, version 1607
-
-### App-V is now a feature in Windows 10
-
-With Windows 10, version 1607 and later releases, App-V is now included with [Windows 10 for Enterprise and Windows 10 for Education](https://www.microsoft.com/WindowsForBusiness/windows-product-home) and is no longer part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.
-
-To learn more about earlier versions of App-V, see [MDOP Information Experience](/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/index).
-
-The changes in App-V for Windows 10, version 1607 impact existing implementations of App-V in the following ways:
-
-* The App-V client is installed on user devices automatically with Windows 10, version 1607, and no longer has to be deployed separately. Performing an in-place upgrade to Windows 10, version 1607, on user devices automatically installs the App-V client.
-* In previous releases of App-V, the application sequencer was included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Although you’ll need to use the new application sequencer to create new virtualized applications, existing virtualized applications will continue to work. The App-V application sequencer is available from the [Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)](https://developer.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit).
-
- > [!NOTE]
-  >If you're already using App-V 5.x, you don't need to redeploy the App-V server components, as they haven't changed since App-V 5.0's release.
-
-For more information about how to configure an existing App-V installation after upgrading user devices to Windows 10, see [Upgrading to App-V for Windows 10 from an existing installation](../app-v/appv-upgrading-to-app-v-for-windows-10-from-an-existing-installation.md) and [Migrating to App-V for Windows 10 from a previous version](../app-v/appv-migrating-to-appv-from-a-previous-version.md).
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->You can only upgrade your existing App-V installation to Windows 10, version 1607 if it's version 5.0 SP2 or higher. If you're using an older version of App-V, you’ll need to upgrade from that version to App-V 5.0 SP2 before you can upgrade to Windows 10, version 1607.

-# Administering App-V Virtual Applications by using the Management Console
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-Use the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) management server to manage packages, connection groups, and package access in your environment. The server publishes application icons, shortcuts, and file type associations to authorized computers running the App-V client. One or more management servers typically share a common data store for configuration and package information.
-
-The management server uses Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) groups to manage user authorization and has SQL Server installed to manage the database and data store.
-
-Because the management servers stream applications to end users on demand, these servers are ideally suited for system configurations that have reliable, high-bandwidth LANs. The management server consists of the following components:
-
-- The **management server** manages packages and connection groups.
-- The **publishing server** deploys packages to computers running the App-V Client.
-- The **management database** manages the package access publishes the server’s synchronization with the management server.
-
-## Management Console tasks
-
-Here are some articles that can show you how to perform the most common tasks that the App-V Management Console is used for:
-
-- [How to connect to the Management Console](appv-connect-to-the-management-console.md)
-- [How to add or upgrade packages by using the Management Console](appv-add-or-upgrade-packages-with-the-management-console.md)

-## App-V package files created by the Sequencer
-
-The Sequencer creates App-V packages and produces a virtualized application. The sequencing process creates the following files:
-
-|File|Description|
-|---|---|
-|.appv|- The primary package file, which contains captured assets and state information from the sequencing process.<br>- Architecture of the package file, publishing information, and registry in a tokenized form that can be reapplied to a machine and to a specific user upon delivery.|
-|.MSI|Executable deployment wrapper that you can use to deploy .appv files manually or by using a third-party deployment platform.|
-|_DeploymentConfig.XML|File used to customize the default publishing parameters for all applications in a package that is deployed globally to all users on a computer that is running the App-V Client.|
-|_UserConfig.XML|File used to customize the publishing parameters for all applications in a package that is a deployed to a specific user on a computer that is running the App-V Client.|
-|Report.xml|Summary of messages resulting from the sequencing process, including omitted drivers, files, and registry locations.|
-|.CAB|Optional: Package accelerator file used to automatically rebuild a previously sequenced virtual application package.|
-|.appvt|Optional: Sequencer template file used to retain commonly reused Sequencer settings.|
-
-To learn more about sequencing, see [How to Sequence a New Application with App-V](appv-sequence-a-new-application.md).
-
-## What’s in the appv file?
-
-The appv file is a container that stores XML and non-XML files together in a single entity. This file is built from the AppX format, which is based on the Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard.
-
-To view the appv file contents, make a copy of the package, and then rename the copied file to a .zip extension.
-
-The appv file contains the following folder and files, which are used when creating and publishing a virtual application:
-
-| Name | Type | Description |
-|---|---|---|
-| Root | File folder | Directory that contains the file system for the virtualized application captured during sequencing. |
-| [Content_Types].xml | XML File | List of the core content types in the appv file (for example, DLL, EXE, BIN). |
-| AppxBlockMap.xml | XML File | Layout of the appv file, which uses File, Block, and BlockMap elements that enable location and validation of files in the App-V package.|
-| AppxManifest.xml | XML File | Metadata for the package that contains the required information for adding, publishing, and launching the package. Includes extension points (file type associations and shortcuts) and the names and GUIDs associated with the package.|
-| FilesystemMetadata.xml | XML File | List of the files captured during sequencing, including attributes (such as directories, files, opaque directories, empty directories, and long and short names). |
-| PackageHistory.xml | XML File | Information about the sequencing computer (operating system version, Internet Explorer version, .Net Framework version) and process (upgrade, package version).|
-| Registry.dat | DAT File | Registry keys and values captured during the sequencing process for the package.|
-| StreamMap.xml | XML File | List of files for the primary and publishing feature block. The publishing feature block contains the ICO files and required portions of files (EXE and DLL) for publishing the package. When present, the primary feature block includes files that have been optimized for streaming during the sequencing process.|
-
-## App-V Client data storage locations
-
-The App-V Client performs tasks to keep virtual applications running properly and working like locally installed applications. The process of opening and running virtual applications requires mapping from the virtual file system and registry to ensure the application has the required components of a traditional application expected by users. This section describes the assets that are required to run virtual applications and lists the location where App-V stores the assets.
-
-| Name | Location | Description |
-|---|---|---|
-| Package Store | %ProgramData%\App-V| Default location for read-only package files.|
-| Machine Catalog | %ProgramData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog| Contains per-machine configuration documents.|
-| User Catalog | %AppData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog| Contains per-user configuration documents.|
-| Shortcut Backups | %AppData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\ShortCutBackups| Stores previous integration points that enable restore on package unpublish.|
-| Copy on Write (COW) Roaming | %AppData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS| Writeable roaming location for package modification.|
-| Copy on Write (COW) Local | %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS| Writeable non-roaming location for package modification.|
-| Machine Registry | HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV| Contains package state information, including VReg for machine or globally published packages (Machine hive).|
-| User Registry | HKCU\Software\Microsoft\AppV| Contains user package state information including VReg.|
-| User Registry Classes | HKCU\Software\Classes\AppV| Contains more user package state information.|
-
-More details for the table are provided in the section below and throughout the document.
-
-### Package store
-
-The App-V Client manages the applications assets mounted in the package store. This default storage location is %ProgramData%\App-V, but you can configure it during or after setup by using the **Set-AppVClientConfiguration** Windows PowerShell cmdlet, which modifies the local registry (**PackageInstallationRoot** value under the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Streaming key). The package store must be located at a local path on the client operating system. The individual packages are stored in the package store in subdirectories named after the Package GUID and Version GUID.
-
-The following is an example of a path to a specific application:
-
-```syntax
-C:\ProgramData\App-V\PackGUID\VersionGUID
-```
-
-To change the default location of the package store during setup, see [Enable the App-V desktop client](appv-enable-the-app-v-desktop-client.md).
-
-### Shared Content Store
-
-If the App-V Client is configured in Shared Content Store mode, no data is written to disk when a stream fault occurs, which means that the packages require minimal local disk space (publishing data). In VDI environments where local storage can be limited, it's important to use as little disk space as possible. You can minimize disk space usage by streaming applications from a high-performance network location (such as a SAN). For more information, see [Shared Content Store in Microsoft App-V 5.0 - Behind the Scenes](/archive/blogs/appv/shared-content-store-in-microsoft-app-v-5-0-behind-the-scenes).
-
->[!NOTE]
->The machine and package store must be located on a local drive, even when you’re using Shared Content Store configurations for the App-V Client.
-
-### Package catalogs
-
-The App-V Client manages the following file-based locations:
-
-- **Catalogs (user and machine).**
-- **Registry locations**—depends on how the package is targeted for publishing. There's  a Catalog (data store) for the computer, and a catalog for each individual user. The Machine catalog stores global information applicable to all users or any specific user, and the User catalog stores information applicable to a specific user. The catalog is a collection of Dynamic Configurations and manifest files; there's  discrete data for both file and registry per package version.
-
-### Machine catalog
-
-The locations described in this table can be found in the %programdata%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\ folder.
-
-|    | Location |
-|:---|:---|
-|**Description**|Stores package documents that are available to users on the machine when packages are added and published. However, if a package is “global” at publishing time, the integrations are available to all users.<br></br>If a package is non-global, the integrations are published only for specific users, but there are still global resources that are modified and visible to anyone on the client computer (such as when the package directory is in a shared disk location).<br></br>If a package is available to a user on the computer (global or non-global), the manifest is stored in the Machine Catalog. When a package is published globally, there's  a Dynamic Configuration file, stored in the Machine Catalog; therefore, the determination of whether a package is global is defined according to whether there's  a policy file (UserDeploymentConfiguration file) in the Machine Catalog.|
-|**Default storage location**|%programdata%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\<br></br>This location isn't the same as the Package Store location. The Package Store is the golden or pristine copy of the package files.|
-|**Files in the machine catalog**|- Manifest.xml<br>- DeploymentConfiguration.xml<br>- UserManifest.xml (Globally Published Package)<br>- UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml (Globally Published Package)|
-|**Additional machine catalog location, used when the package is part of a connection group**|The following location is in addition to the specific package location mentioned previously as the default storage location:<br></br>%programdata%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\PackageGroups\ConGroupGUID\ConGroupVerGUID|
-|**Additional files in the machine catalog when the package is part of a connection group**|- PackageGroupDescriptor.xml<br>- UserPackageGroupDescriptor.xml (globally published Connection Group)|
-
-### User catalog
-
-The locations described in this table can be found in the appdata\roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\ folder.
-
-|| Location |
-|:---|:---|
-|**Description**|Created during the publishing process. Contains information used for publishing the package, and for making sure that a package is provisioned to a specific user at launch. Created in a roaming location and includes user-specific publishing information.<br></br>When a package is published for a user, the policy file is stored in the User Catalog. At the same time, a copy of the manifest is also stored in the User Catalog. When a package entitlement is removed for a user, the relevant package files are removed from the User Catalog. Looking at the user catalog, an administrator can view the presence of a Dynamic Configuration file, which indicates that the package is entitled for that user.<br></br>For roaming users, the User Catalog needs to be in a roaming or shared location to preserve the legacy App-V behavior of targeting users by default. Entitlement and policy are tied to a user, not a computer, so they should roam with the user once they're provisioned.|
-|**Default storage location**|appdata\roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\Packages\PkgGUID\VerGUID|
-|**Files in the user catalog**|- UserManifest.xml<br>- DynamicConfiguration.xml or UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml|
-|**Additional user catalog location, used when the package is part of a connection group**|The following location is in addition to the specific package location mentioned above:<br></br>appdata\roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\PackageGroups\PkgGroupGUID\PkgGroupVerGUID|
-|**Additional file in the machine catalog when the package is part of a connection group**|UserPackageGroupDescriptor.xml|
-
-### Shortcut backups
-
-During the publishing process, the App-V Client backs up any shortcuts and integration points to %AppData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\ShortCutBackups. This backup lets integration points restore to the previous versions when the package is unpublished.
-
-### Copy on Write files
-
-The Package Store contains a pristine copy of the package files that have been streamed from the publishing server. During normal operation of an App-V application, the user or service may require changes to the files. However, these changes aren't made in the package store to preserve your ability to repair the application, which removes these changes. These locations, called Copy on Write (COW), support both roaming and non-roaming locations. The location where the modifications are stored depends where the application has been programmed to write changes to in a native experience.
-
-### COW roaming
-
-The COW Roaming location described above stores changes to files and directories that are targeted to the typical %AppData% location or \\Users\\*&lt;username&gt;*\\AppData\\Roaming location. These directories and files are then roamed based on the operating system settings.
-
-### COW local
-
-The COW Local location is similar to the roaming location, but the directories and files aren't roamed to other computers, even if roaming support has been configured. The COW Local location described above stores changes applicable to typical windows and not the %AppData% location. The directories listed will vary but there will be two locations for any typical Windows locations (for example, Common AppData and Common AppDataS). The **S** signifies the restricted location when the virtual service requests the change as a different elevated user from the signed-in users. The non-**S** location stores user-based changes.
-
-## Package registry
-
-Before an application can access the package registry data, the App-V Client must make the package registry data available to the applications. The App-V Client uses the real registry as a backing store for all registry data.
-
-When a new package is added to the App-V Client, a copy of the REGISTRY.DAT file from the package is created at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VREG\{Version GUID}.dat. The name of the file is the version GUID with the .DAT extension. The reason this copy is made is to ensure that the actual hive file in the package is never in use, which would prevent the removal of the package at a later time.
-
-**Registry.dat from Package Store** > **%ProgramData%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Vreg\\{VersionGUID}.dat**
-
-When the first application from the package is launched on the client, the client stages or copies the contents out of the hive file, re-creating the package registry data in an alternate location under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\PackageGuid\Versions\VersionGUID\REGISTRY. The staged registry data has two distinct types of machine data and user data. Machine data is shared across all users on the machine. User data is staged for each user to a user-specific location HKCU\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\PackageGUID\Registry\User. The machine data is ultimately removed at package removal time, and the user data is removed on a user unpublish operation.
-
-### Package registry staging vs. connection group registry staging
-
-When connection groups are present, the previous process of staging the registry holds true, but instead of having one hive file to process, there are more than one. The files are processed in the order in which they appear in the connection group XML, with the first writer winning any conflicts.
-
-The staged registry persists the same way as in the single package case. Staged user registry data remains for the connection group until it's disabled; staged machine registry data is removed on connection group removal.
-
-### Virtual registry
-
-The purpose of the virtual registry (VREG) is to provide a single merged view of the package registry and the native registry to applications. It also provides copy-on-write (COW) functionality—that is, any changes made to the registry from the context of a virtual process are made to a separate COW location. This functionality means that the VREG must combine up to three separate registry locations into a single view based on the populated locations in the **registry COW** > **package** > **native**. When a request is made for a registry data it will locate in order until it finds the data it was requesting. Meaning if there's  a value stored in a COW location it will not proceed to other locations, however, if there's  no data in the COW location it will proceed to the Package and then Native location until it finds the appropriate data.
-
-### Registry locations
-
-There are two package registry locations and two connection group locations where the App-V Client stores registry information, depending on whether the Package is published individually or as part of a connection group. There are three COW locations for packages and three for connection groups, which are created and managed by the VREG. Settings for packages and connection groups aren't shared:
-
-#### Single Package VReg
-
-The registries in the following table are located in the Registry\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\ folder.
-
-|Location|Description|
-|---|---|
-|COW|- Machine Registry\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\REGISTRY (Only elevate process can write)<br>- User Registry\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\REGISTRY (User Roaming anything written under HKCU except Software\Classes<br>- User Registry Classes\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\REGISTRY (HKCU\Software\Classes writes and HKLM for non-elevated process)|
-|Package|- Machine Registry\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\Versions\VerGuid\Registry\Machine<br>- User Registry Classes\Client\Packages\PkgGUID\Versions\VerGUID\Registry|
-|Native|- Native application registry location|
-
-#### Connection Group VReg
-
-The registries in the following table are located in the Machine Registry\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\ and User Registry Classes\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\ folders.
-
-|Location|Description|
-|---|---|
-|COW|- Machine Registry\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\REGISTRY (only elevate process can write)<br>- User Registry\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\REGISTRY (Anything written to HKCU except Software\Classes)<br>- User Registry Classes\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\REGISTRY|
-|Package|- Machine Registry\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\Versions\VerGUID\REGISTRY<br>- User Registry Classes\Client\PackageGroups\GrpGUID\Versions\VerGUID\REGISTRY|
-|Native|- Native application registry location|
-
-There are two COW locations for HKLM: elevated and non-elevated processes. Elevated processes always write HKLM changes to the secure COW under HKLM. Non-elevated processes always write HKLM changes to the non-secure COW under HKCU\\Software\\Classes. When an application reads changes from HKLM, elevated processes will read changes from the secure COW under HKLM. Non-elevated reads from both, favoring the changes made in the unsecure COW first.
-
-### Pass-through keys
-
-An administrator can use pass-through keys to configure certain keys to only be read from the native registry, bypassing the Package and COW locations. Pass-through locations are global to the machine (not package-specific) and can be configured by adding the path to the key, which should be treated as pass-through to the **REG\_MULTI\_SZ** value called **PassThroughPaths** of the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Subsystem\VirtualRegistry. Any key that appears under this multi-string value (and their children) will be treated as pass-through.
-
-The following locations are configured as pass-through locations by default:
-
-- HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\Local Settings\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\AppModel
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\Local Settings\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\AppModel
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\WINEVT
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\services\\eventlog\\Application
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\WMI\\Autologger
-
-- HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Perflib
-
-- HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies
-
-- HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Policies
-
-The purpose of pass-through keys is to ensure that a virtual application doesn't write registry data in the VReg that is required for non-virtual applications for successful operation or integration. The Policies key ensures that Group Policy-based settings set by the administrator are utilized and not per package settings. The AppModel key is required for integration with Windows Modern UI-based applications. Administers ideally shouldn't modify any of the default pass-through keys, but in some instances, the admin may need to add more pass-through keys to adjust application behavior.
-
-## App-V package store behavior
-
-App-V manages the Package Store, which is the location where the expanded asset files from the appv file are stored. By default, this location is stored at %ProgramData%\\App-V, and is limited in terms of storage capabilities only by free disk space. The package store is organized by the GUIDs for the package and version as mentioned in the previous section.
-
-### Add packages
-
-App-V Packages are staged upon addition to the computer with the App-V Client. The App-V Client provides on-demand staging. When publishing or manually entering the **Add-AppVClientPackage** cmdlet, the data structure is built in the package store (C:\\programdata\\App-V\\{PkgGUID}\\{VerGUID}). The package files identified in the publishing block defined in the StreamMap.xml file are added to the system, and the top level folders and child files are staged to ensure proper application assets exist at launch.
-
-### Mounting packages
-
-Packages can be explicitly loaded by entering the  **Mount-AppVClientPackage** PowerShell cmdlet or by using the **App-V Client UI** to download a package. This operation completely loads the entire package into the package store.
-
-### Streaming packages
-
-The App-V Client can be configured to change the default behavior of streaming. All streaming policies are stored under the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Streaming. Policies are set by entering the **Set-AppvClientConfiguration** PowerShell cmdlet. The following policies apply to streaming:
-
-|Policy|Description|
-|---|---|
-|AllowHighCostLaunch|Allows streaming over 3G and cellular networks|
-|AutoLoad|Specifies the Background Load setting:<br>0 – Disabled<br>1 – Previously Used Packages only<br>2 – All Packages|
-|PackageInstallationRoot|The root folder for the package store in the local machine|
-|PackageSourceRoot|The root override where packages should be streamed from|
-|SharedContentStoreMode|Enables the use of Shared Content Store for VDI scenarios|
-
-These settings affect the behavior of streaming App-V package assets to the client. By default, App-V only downloads the assets required after downloading the initial publishing and primary feature blocks. There are three specific behaviors in streaming packages that are important to understand:
-
-- Background Streaming
-- Optimized Streaming
-- Stream Faults
-
-### Background streaming
-
-The Windows PowerShell cmdlet **Get-AppvClientConfiguration** can be used to determine the current mode for background streaming with the AutoLoad setting and modified with either the **Set-AppvClientConfiguration** cmdlet or from the registry (HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\AppV\\ClientStreaming key). Background streaming is a default setting where the Autoload setting is set to download previously used packages. The behavior based on default setting (value=1) downloads App-V data blocks in the background after the application has been launched. This setting can either be disabled altogether (value=0) or enabled for all packages (value=2), regardless of whether they've been launched.
-
-### Optimized streaming
-
-App-V packages can be configured with a primary feature block during sequencing. This setting allows the sequencing engineer to monitor launch files for a specific application, or applications, and mark the blocks of data in the App-V package for streaming at first launch of any application in the package.
-
-### Stream faults
-
-After the initial stream of any publishing data and the primary feature block, requests for more files perform stream faults. These blocks of data are downloaded to the package store on an as-needed basis. This flexibility allows a user to download only a small part of the package, typically enough to launch the package and run normal tasks. All other blocks are downloaded when a user initiates an operation that requires data not currently in the package store.
-
-### Package upgrades
-
-App-V Packages require updating throughout the lifecycle of the application. App-V Package upgrades are like the package publish operation, as each version will be created in its own PackageRoot location: %ProgramData%\App-V\{PkgGUID}\{newVerGUID}. The upgrade operation is optimized by creating hard links to identical and streamed files from other versions of the same package.
-
-### Package removal
-
-The App-V Client's behavior when packages are removed depends on the package removal method. Using an App-V full infrastructure to unpublish the application, the user catalog files (machine catalog for globally published applications) are removed, but the package store location and COW locations remain. When the **Remove-AppVClientPackge** Windows PowerShell cmdlet is used to remove an App-V Package, the package store location is cleaned. Remember that unpublishing an App-V Package from the Management Server doesn't  perform a Remove operation. Neither operation will remove the Package Store package files.
-
-## Roaming registry and data
-
-App-V is able to provide a near-native experience when roaming, depending on how the application being used is written. By default, App-V roams AppData that is stored in the roaming location, based on the roaming configuration of the operating system. Other locations for storage of file-based data don't roam from computer to computer, since they're in locations that aren't roamed.
-
-### Roaming requirements and user catalog data storage
-
-App-V stores data, which represents the state of the user’s catalog, in the form of:
-
-- Files under %appdata%\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Catalog
-- Registry settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages
-
-Together, these files and registry settings represent the user’s catalog, so either both must be roamed, or neither must be roamed for a given user. App-V doesn't support roaming %AppData%, but not roaming the user’s profile (registry), or vice versa.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The **Repair-AppvClientPackage** cmdlet doesn't repair the publishing state of packages where the user’s App-V state under HKEY_CURRENT_USER is missing or mismatched with the data in %appdata%.
-
-### Registry-based data
-
-App-V registry roaming falls into two scenarios, as shown in the following table.
-
-|Scenario|Description|
-|---|---|
-|Applications that are run as standard users|When a standard user launches an App-V application, both HKLM and HKCU for App-V applications are stored in the HKCU hive on the machine. This scenario presents two distinct paths:<br><br>- HKLM's location is  HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppV\Client\Packages\\{PkgGUID}\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE<br>- HKCU's location is HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\\{PkgGUID}\REGISTRY\USER\\{UserSID}\SOFTWARE<br><br>The locations are enabled for roaming based on the operating system settings.|
-|Applications that are run with elevation|When an application is launched with elevation:<br><br>- HKLM data is stored in the HKLM hive on the local computer<br>- HKCU data is stored in the User Registry location<br><br>In this scenario, these settings aren't roamed with normal operating system roaming configurations, and the resulting registry keys and values are stored in the following locations:<br><br>- HKLM's location is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\\{PkgGUID}\\{UserSID}\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE<br>- HKCU's location is HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Packages\\{PkgGUID}\\Registry\User\\{UserSID}\SOFTWARE|
-
-### App-V and folder redirection
-
-App-V supports folder redirection of the roaming AppData folder (%AppData%). When the virtual environment is started, the roaming AppData state from the user’s roaming AppData directory is copied to the local cache. Conversely, when the virtual environment is shut down, the local cache that is associated with a specific user’s roaming AppData is transferred to the actual location of that user’s roaming AppData directory.
-
-A typical package has several locations mapped in the user’s backing store for settings in both AppData\\Local and AppData\\Roaming. These locations are the Copy on Write locations that are stored per user in the user’s profile, and that are used to store changes made to the package VFS directories and to protect the default package VFS.
-
-The following table shows local and roaming locations when folder redirection hasn't been implemented.
-
-| VFS directory in package | Mapped location of backing store |
-|---|---|
-| ProgramFilesX86 | C:\Users\Local\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\ProgramFilesX86 |
-| SystemX86 | C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\SystemX86 |
-| Windows | C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\Windows |
-| appv\_ROOT | C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\appv_ROOT|
-| AppData | C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\AppData |
-
-The following table shows local and roaming locations when folder redirection has been implemented for %AppData% and the location has been redirected (typically to a network location).
-
-| VFS directory in package | Mapped location of backing store |
-|---|---|
-| ProgramFilesX86 | C:\Users\Local\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\ProgramFilesX86 |
-| SystemX86 | C:\Users\Local\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\SystemX86 |
-| Windows | C:\Users\Local\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\Windows |
-| appv_ROOT | C:\Users\Local\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\appv\_ROOT |
-| AppData | \\Fileserver\users\Local\roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\\&lt;GUID&gt;\AppData |
-
-The current App-V Client VFS driver can't write to network locations, so the App-V Client detects the presence of folder redirection and copies the data on the local drive during publishing and when the virtual environment starts. After the user closes the App-V application and the App-V Client closes the virtual environment, the local storage of the VFS AppData is copied back to the network, enabling roaming to more machines, where the process will be repeated. Here's what happens during the process:
-
-1. During publishing or virtual environment startup, the App-V Client detects the location of the AppData directory.
-2. If the roaming AppData path is local or no AppData\\Roaming location is mapped, nothing happens.
-3. If the roaming AppData path isn't local, the VFS AppData directory is mapped to the local AppData directory.
-
-This process solves the problem of a non-local %AppData% that isn't supported by the App-V Client VFS driver. However, the data stored in this new location isn't roamed with folder redirection. All changes during the running of the application happen to the local AppData location and must be copied to the redirected location. The process does the following things:
-
-1. Shuts down the App-V application, which also shuts down the virtual environment.
-2. Compresses the local cache of the roaming AppData location and store it in a .zip file.
-3. Uses the time stamp at the end of the .zip packaging process to name the file.
-4. Records the time stamp in the HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Packages\\&lt;GUID&gt;\\AppDataTime registry as the last known AppData time stamp.
-5. Calls the folder redirection process to evaluate and initiate the .zip file uploaded to the roaming AppData directory.
-
-The time stamp is used to determine a “last writer wins” scenario if there's  a conflict and is used to optimize the download of the data when the App-V application is published, or the virtual environment is started. Folder redirection will make the data available from any other clients covered by the supporting policy and will initiate the process of storing the AppData\\Roaming data to the local AppData location on the client. Here's what happens during the process:
-
-1. The user starts an application, which also starts the virtual environment.
-2. The application’s virtual environment checks for the most recent time stamped .zip file, if present.
-3. The virtual environment checks the registry for the last known uploaded time stamp, if present.
-4. The virtual environment downloads the most recent .zip file unless the local last known upload time stamp is greater than or equal to the time stamp from the .zip file.
-5. If the local last known upload time stamp is earlier than that of the most recent .zip file in the roaming AppData location, the virtual environment extracts the .zip file to the local temp directory in the user’s profile.
-6. After the .zip file is successfully extracted, the local cache of the roaming AppData directory is renamed and the new data moved into place.
-7. The renamed directory is deleted and the application opens with the most recently saved roaming AppData data.
-
-This process completes the successful roaming of application settings that are present in AppData\\Roaming locations. The only other condition that must be addressed is a package repair operation. The process does the following things:
-
-1. During repair, detects if the path to the user’s roaming AppData directory isn't local.
-2. Maps the non-local roaming AppData path targets, recreating the expected roaming and local AppData locations.
-3. Deletes the time stamp stored in the registry, if present.
-
-This process will recreate both the local and network locations for AppData and remove the registry record of the time stamp.
-
-## App-V Client application lifecycle management
-
-In an App-V Full Infrastructure, after applications are sequenced, they're managed and published to users or computers through the App-V Management and Publishing servers. This section details the operations that occur during the common App-V application lifecycle operations (Add, publishing, launch, upgrade, and removal) and the file and registry locations that are changed and modified from the App-V Client perspective. The App-V Client operations are input as PowerShell commands on the computer running the App-V Client.
-
-This document focuses on App-V Full Infrastructure solutions. For specific information on App-V Integration with Microsoft Configuration Manager, see [Deploy App-V virtual applications with Configuration Manager](/mem/configmgr/apps/get-started/deploying-app-v-virtual-applications).
-
-The App-V application lifecycle tasks are triggered at user sign in (default), machine startup, or as background timed operations. The settings for the App-V Client operations, including Publishing Servers, refresh intervals, package script enablement, and others, are configured (after the client is enabled) with Windows PowerShell commands. See [App-V Client Configuration Settings: Windows PowerShell](appv-client-configuration-settings.md#app-v-client-configuration-settings-windows-powershell).
-
-### Publishing refresh
-
-The publishing refresh process comprises several smaller operations that are performed on the App-V Client. Since App-V is an application virtualization technology and not a task scheduling technology, the Windows Task Scheduler is utilized to enable the process when the user signs in, the machine turns on, and at scheduled intervals. The client configuration during setup listed in the previous section is the preferred method when distributing the client to a large group of computers with the correct settings. These client settings can be configured with the following Windows PowerShell cmdlets:
-
-- **Add-AppVPublishingServer** configures the client with an App-V Publishing Server that provides App-V packages.
-- **Set-AppVPublishingServer** modifies the current settings for the App-V Publishing Server.
-- **Set-AppVClientConfiguration** modifies the currents settings for the App-V Client.
-- **Sync-AppVPublishingServer** initiates an App-V Publishing Refresh process manually. This process is also utilized in the scheduled tasks created during configuration of the publishing server.
-
-The following sections will elaborate what goes on during the publishing refresh process.
-
-#### Adding an App-V package
-
-Adding an App-V package to the client is the first step of the publishing refresh process. The end result is the same as the **Add-AppVClientPackage** cmdlet in Windows PowerShell, except the publishing refresh add process contacts the configured publishing server and passes a high-level list of applications back to the client to pull more detailed information, rather than just doing a single package add operation.
-
-The process then configures the client for package or connection group additions or updates, then accesses the appv file. Next, the contents of the appv file are expanded and placed on the local operating system in the appropriate locations. The following steps are a detailed workflow of the process, assuming the package is configured for Fault Streaming.
-
-#### How to add an App-V package
-
-1. Initiate installation manually through Windows PowerShell or Task Sequence initiation of the Publishing Refresh process.
-
-    1. The App-V Client makes an HTTP connection and requests a list of applications based on the target. The Publishing refresh process supports targeting machines or users.
-
-    2. The App-V Publishing Server uses the identity of the initiating target, user or machine, and queries the database for a list of entitled applications. The list of applications is provided as an XML response, which the client uses to send more requests to the server for more information on a per-package basis.
-
-2. The Publishing Agent on the App-V Client will evaluate any connection groups that are unpublished or disabled, since package version updates that are part of the connection group can't be processed.
-
-3. Configure the packages by identifying the **Add** or **Update** operations.
-
-   1. The App-V Client utilizes the AppX API from Windows and accesses the appv file from the publishing server.
-
-   2. The package file is opened and the **AppXManifest.xml** and **StreamMap.xml** files are downloaded to the Package Store.
-
-   3. Completely stream publishing block data defined in the **StreamMap.xml** file. Publishing block data is stored in Package Store\\PkgGUID\\VerGUID\\Root.
-
-       - Icons: Targets of extension points.
-       - Portable Executable Headers (PE Headers): Targets of extension points that contain the base information about the image need on disk, accessed directly or through file types.
-       - Scripts: Download scripts directory for use throughout the publishing process.
-
-   4. Populate the Package store by performing the following sub-steps:
-
-      1. Create sparse files on disk that represent the extracted package for any directories listed.
-
-      2. Stage top-level files and directories under root.
-
-         All other files are created when the directory is listed as sparse on disk and streamed on demand.
-
-   5. Create the machine catalog entries. Create the **Manifest.xml** and **DeploymentConfiguration.xml** files from the package files (if no **DeploymentConfiguration.xml** file in the package a placeholder is created).
-
-   6. Create location of the package store in the registry **HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Packages\\PkgGUID\\Versions\\VerGUID\\Catalog**.
-
-   7. Create the **Registry.dat** file from the package store to **%ProgramData%\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\VReg\\{VersionGUID}.dat**.
-
-   8. Register the package with the App-V Kernel Mode Driver at **HKLM\\Microsoft\\Software\\AppV\\MAV**.
-
-   9. Invoke scripting from the **AppxManifest.xml** or **DeploymentConfig.xml** file for Package Add timing.
-
-4. Configure Connection Groups by adding and enabling or disabling.
-
-5. Remove objects that aren't published to the target (user or machine).
-
-   > [!NOTE]
-    >This will not perform a package deletion but rather remove integration points for the specific target (user or machine) and remove user catalog files (machine catalog files for globally published).
-
-6. Invoke background load mounting based on client configuration.
-
-7. Packages that already have publishing information for the machine or user are immediately restored.
-
-   > [!NOTE]
-    >This condition occurs as a product of removal without unpublishing with background addition of the package.
-
-This process completes an App-V package add for the publishing refresh process. The next step is publishing the package to a specific target (machine or user).
-
-![Package add file and registry data.](images/packageaddfileandregistrydata.png)
-
-**Package add file and registry data**
-
-#### Publishing an App-V package
-
-During the Publishing Refresh operation, the specific publishing operation, **Publish-AppVClientPackage**, adds entries to the user catalog, maps entitlement to the user, identifies the local store, and finishes by completing any integration steps.
-
-#### How to publish an App-V package
-
-1. Package entries are added to the user catalog
-
-    1. User targeted packages: the **UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml** and **UserManifest.xml** files are placed on the machine in the User Catalog.
-
-    2. Machine targeted (global) packages: the **UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml** is placed in the Machine Catalog.
-
-2. Register the package with the kernel mode driver for the user at **HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\AppV\\MAV**.
-
-3. Perform integration tasks.
-
-    1. Create extension points.
-
-    2. Store backup information in the user’s registry and roaming profile (Shortcut Backups).
-
-       > [!NOTE]
-        >This enables restore extension points if the package is unpublished.
-
-    3. Run scripts targeted for publishing timing.
-
-Publishing an App-V Package that is part of a Connection Group is similar to the above process. For connection groups, the path that stores the specific catalog information includes PackageGroups as a child of the Catalog Directory. Review the Machine and User Catalog information in the preceding sections for details.
-
-![package add file and registry data - global.](images/packageaddfileandregistrydata-global.png)
-
-**Package add file and registry data—global**
-
-### Application launch
-
-After the Publishing Refresh process, the user launches and then relaunches an App-V application. The App-V Client checks the path to the user catalog for files created during publishing. After establishing rights to launch the package, the App-V Client creates a virtual environment, begins streaming any necessary data, and applies the appropriate manifest and deployment configuration files during virtual environment creation. Once the virtual environment created and configured for the specific package and application, the application starts. This might seem like a lot, but the process in action is fast, and is optimized to minimize network traffic.
-
-#### How to launch App-V applications
-
-1. User launches the application by selecting a shortcut or file type invocation.
-
-2. The App-V Client verifies existence in the User Catalog for the following files
-
-    - **UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml**
-    - **UserManifest.xml**
-
-3. If the files are present, the application is entitled for that specific user and the application will start the process for launch. There's  no network traffic at this point.
-
-4. Next, the App-V Client checks that the path for the package registered for the App-V Client service is found in the registry.
-
-5. Upon finding the path to the package store, the virtual environment is created.
-
-   If this process execution is the first launch, the Primary Feature Block downloads if present.
-
-6. After downloading, the App-V Client service consumes the manifest and deployment configuration files to configure the virtual environment and all App-V subsystems are loaded.
-
-7. The Application launches. For any missing files in the package store (sparse files), App-V will stream fault the files on an as-needed basis.

-
-### Upgrading an App-V package
-
-The current version of App-V's package upgrade process differs from the older versions in its storage optimization. App-V supports multiple versions of the same package on a machine entitled to different users. Package versions can be added at any time, as the package store and catalogs are updated with the new resources. During an upgrade in the new version, only new files are added to the new version store location, and hard links are created for unchanged files. Such results reduce overall storage by only presenting the file on one disk location, then projecting it into all folders with a file location entry on the disk.
-
-#### How to upgrade an App-V package
-
-1. The App-V Client performs a Publishing Refresh and discovers a newer version of an App-V Package.
-
-2. Package entries are added to the appropriate catalog for the new version.
-
-    1. User targeted packages: the **UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml** and **UserManifest.xml** files are placed on the machine in the user catalog at **appdata\\roaming\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Catalog\\Packages\\PkgGUID\\VerGUID**.
-
-    2. Machine targeted (global) packages: the **UserDeploymentConfiguration.xml** is placed in the machine catalog at **%programdata%\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client\\Catalog\\Packages\\PkgGUID\\VerGUID**.
-
-3. Register the package with the kernel mode driver for the user at **HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\AppV\\MAV**.
-
-4. Perform integration tasks.
-
-    1. Integrate extensions points (EP) from the Manifest and Dynamic Configuration files.
-
-    2. File based EP data is stored in the AppData folder utilizing Junction Points from the package store.
-
-    3. Version 1 EPs already exist when a new version becomes available.
-
-    4. The extension points are switched to the Version 2 location in machine or user catalogs for any newer or updated extension points.
-
-5. Run scripts targeted for publishing timing.
-
-6. Install Side-by-Side assemblies as required.
-
-### Upgrading an in-use App-V package
-
-If you try to upgrade a package that is currently in use, the upgrade task is placed in a pending state. The upgrade will run later, according to the following rules:
-
-| Task type | Applicable rule |
-|---|---|
-| User-based tasks, such as publishing a package to a user | The pending task will be performed after the user signs out and then signs back in. |
-| Globally based tasks, such as enabling a connection group globally | The pending task will be performed when the computer is shut down and then restarted. |
-
-When a task is placed in a pending state, the App-V Client also generates a registry key for the pending task, as follows:
-
-| User-based or globally based task | Where the registry key is generated |
-|---|---|
-| User-based tasks | HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\PendingTasks |
-| Globally based tasks | HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Client\PendingTasks |
-
-The following operations must be completed before users can use the newer version of the package:
-
-| Task | Details |
-|---|---|
-| Add the package to the computer | This task is computer-specific and you can perform it at any time by completing the steps in [How to add an App-V package](#how-to-add-an-app-v-package). |
-| Publish the package |  See the Package Publishing section above for steps. This process requires that you update extension points on the system. You can't complete this task while the application is in use. |
-
-Use the following example scenarios as a guide for updating packages.
-
-| Scenario | Requirements |
-|---|---|
-| App-V package isn't in use when you try to upgrade | None of the following components of the package can be in use: virtual application, COM server, or shell extensions.<br/><br/>The administrator publishes a newer version of the package and the upgrade works the next time a component or application inside the package is launched. The new version of the package is streamed and ran. |
-| App-V package is in use when the administrator publishes a newer version of the package | The App-V Client sets the operation to "pending," which means that it's queued and will be carried out later when the package isn't in use.<br/><br/>If the package application is in use, the user shuts down the virtual application, after which the upgrade can occur.<br/><br/>If the package has shell extensions, which are permanently loaded by Windows Explorer, the user won't be able to sign in. Users must sign off and then sign back in to initiate the App-V package upgrade.|
-
-### Global vs. user publishing
-
-App-V Packages can be published in one of two ways; as user, which entitles an App-V package to a specific user or group of users, or as global, which entitles the App-V package to the entire machine for all users of the machine. Once a package upgrade has been pended and the App-V package isn't in use, consider the two types of publishing:
-
-- Global publishing is when the application is published to a machine; all users on that machine can use it. The upgrade will happen when the App-V Client Service starts, which effectively means a machine restart.
-- User publishing is when the application is published to a user. If there are multiple users on the machine, the application can be published to a subset of the users. The upgrade will happen when the user signs in or when it's published again (periodically, ConfigMgr Policy refresh and evaluation, or an App-V periodic publishing/refresh, or explicitly through Windows PowerShell commands).
-
-### Removing an App-V package
-
-Removing App-V applications in a Full Infrastructure is an unpublish operation and doesn't  perform a package removal. The process is the same as the publish process above, but instead of adding the removal process reverses the changes that have been made for App-V Packages.
-
-### Repairing an App-V package
-
-The repair operation is easy to do but may affect many locations on the machine. The previously mentioned Copy on Write (COW) locations are removed, and extension points are deintegrated and then reintegrated. Before repairing, please review where the COW data placement locations are registered in the registry. To perform a Repair operation, all you need to do is initiate it from the App-V Client Console or through the **Repair-AppVClientPackage** PowerShell cmdlet. After that, the operation is completed automatically.
-
-## Integration of App-V packages
-
-The App-V Client and package architecture provides specific integration with the local operating system during the addition and publishing of packages. Three files define the integration or extension points for an App-V Package:
-
-- AppXManifest.xml is stored inside of the package with fallback copies stored in the package store and the user profile. Contains the options created during the sequencing process.
-- DeploymentConfig.xml provides configuration information of computer- and user-based integration extension points.
-- UserConfig.xml is a subset of the Deploymentconfig.xml file that only provides user-based configurations and only targets user-based extension points.
-
-### Rules of integration
-
-When App-V applications are published to a computer with the App-V Client, some specific actions take place as described in the following list:
-
-- Global Publishing: Shortcuts are stored in the All Users profile location and other extension points are stored in the registry in the HKLM hive.
-- User Publishing: Shortcuts are stored in the current user account profile and other extension points are stored in the registry in the HKCU hive.
-- Backup and Restore: Existing native application data and registry (such as FTA registrations) are backed up during publishing.
-
-    1. App-V packages are given ownership based on the last integrated package where the ownership is passed to the newest published App-V application.
-    2. Ownership transfers from one App-V package to another when the owning App-V package is unpublished. This transfer won't initiate a restore of the data or registry.
-    3. Restore the backed-up data when the last package is unpublished or removed on a per-extension point basis.
-
-### Extension points
-
-The App-V publishing files (manifest and dynamic configuration) provide several extension points to integrate the application with the local operating system. These extension points perform typical application installation tasks, such as placing shortcuts, creating file type associations, and registering components. As these are virtualized applications that aren't installed in the same manner a traditional application, there are some differences. The following is a list of extension points covered in this section:
-
-- Shortcuts
-- File type associations
-- Shell extensions
-- COM
-- Software clients
-- Application capabilities
-- URL Protocol handler
-- AppPath
-- Virtual application
-
-### Shortcuts
-
-The shortcut is one of the basic elements of integration with the OS and is the interface for direct user launch of an App-V application. During the publishing and unpublishing of App-V applications.
-
-From the package manifest and dynamic configuration XML files, the path to a specific application executable can be found in a section as shown in the following example:
-
-```XML
-<Extension Category="AppV.Shortcut">
-          <Shortcut>
-            <File>[{Common Desktop}]\Adobe Reader.lnk</File>
-            <Target>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe</Target>
-            <Icon>[{Windows}]\Installer\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A94000000001}\SC_Reader.ico</Icon>
-            <Arguments />
-            <WorkingDirectory />
-            <ShowCommand>1</ShowCommand>
-            <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe</ApplicationId>
-          </Shortcut>
-        </Extension>
-```
-
-As mentioned previously, the App-V shortcuts are placed by default in the user’s profile based on the refresh operation. Global refresh places shortcuts in the All Users profile and user refresh stores them in the specific user’s profile. The actual executable is stored in the Package Store. The location of the ICO file is a tokenized location in the App-V package.
-
-### File type associations
-
-Users can use file type invocations or open a file with a registered extension (.docx) to start an App-V application because the App-V Client manages the local operating system File Type Associations during publishing. File type associations are present in the manifest and dynamic configuration files, as shown in the following example:
-
-```XML
-<Extension Category="AppV.FileTypeAssociation">
-          <FileTypeAssociation>
-            <FileExtension MimeAssociation="true">
-              <Name>.xdp</Name>
-              <ProgId>AcroExch.XDPDoc</ProgId>
-              <ContentType>application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml</ContentType>
-            </FileExtension>
-            <ProgId>
-              <Name>AcroExch.XDPDoc</Name>
-              <Description>Adobe Acrobat XML Data Package File</Description>
-              <EditFlags>65536</EditFlags>
-              <DefaultIcon>[{Windows}]\Installer\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A94000000001}\XDPFile_8.ico</DefaultIcon>
-              <ShellCommands>
-                <DefaultCommand>Read</DefaultCommand>
-                <ShellCommand>
-                  <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe</ApplicationId>
-                  <Name>Open</Name>
-                  <CommandLine>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"</CommandLine>
-                </ShellCommand>
-                <ShellCommand>
-                  <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe</ApplicationId>
-                  <Name>Printto</Name>
-                  <CommandLine>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"  /t "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"</CommandLine>
-                </ShellCommand>
-                <ShellCommand>
-                  <ApplicationId>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe</ApplicationId>
-                  <Name>Read</Name>
-                  <FriendlyName>Open with Adobe Reader</FriendlyName>
-                  <CommandLine>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"</CommandLine>
-                </ShellCommand>
-              </ShellCommands>
-            </ProgId>
-          </FileTypeAssociation>
-        </Extension>
-```
-
->[!NOTE]
->In this example:
->- `<Name>.xdp</Name>` is the extension
->- `<Name>AcroExch.XDPDoc</Name>` is the ProgId value (which points to the adjoining ProgId)
->- `<CommandLine>"[{AppVPackageRoot}]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"</CommandLine>` is the command line, which points to the application executable
-
-### Shell extensions
-
-Shell extensions are embedded in the package automatically during the sequencing process. When the package is published globally, the shell extension gives users the same functionality as if the application were locally installed. The application requires no extra setup or configuration on the client to enable the shell extension functionality.
-
-#### Requirements for using shell extensions
-
-- Packages that contain embedded shell extensions must be published globally.
-- The “bitness” of the application, Sequencer, and App-V Client must match, or the shell extensions won’t work. The following example configuration fulfills the matching requirement:
-  - The version of the application is 64-bit.
-  - The Sequencer is running on a 64-bit computer.
-  - The package is being delivered to a 64-bit App-V Client computer.
-
-The following table displays the supported shell extensions.
-
-| Handler | Description |
-|---|---|
-| Context menu handler | Adds menu items to the context menu. it's called before the context menu is displayed. |
-| Drag-and-drop handler | Controls the action upon right-click drag-and-drop and modifies the context menu that appears. |
-| Drop target handler | Controls the action after a data object is dragged-and-dropped over a drop target, such as a file.|
-| Data object handler| Controls the action after a file is copied to the clipboard or dragged-and-dropped over a drop target. It can provide more clipboard formats to the drop target.|
-| Property sheet handler| Replaces or adds pages to the property sheet dialog box of an object.|
-| Infotip handler| Allows retrieving flags and infotip information for an item and displaying it inside a popup tooltip upon mouse-hover.|
-| Column handler| Allows creating and displaying custom columns in Windows Explorer *Details view*. It can be used to extend sorting and grouping.|
-| Preview handler| Enables a preview of a file to be displayed in the Windows Explorer Preview Pane.|
-
-### COM
-
-The App-V Client supports publishing applications with support for COM integration and virtualization. COM integration allows the App-V Client to register COM objects on the local operating system and virtualization of the objects. For the purposes of this document, the integration of COM objects requires more details.
-
-App-V supports registering COM objects from the package to the local operating system with two process types: Out-of-process and In-process. Registering COM objects is accomplished with one or a combination of multiple modes of operation for a specific App-V package that includes Off, Isolated, and Integrated. Integrated mode is configured for either the Out-of-process or In-process type. Configuration of COM modes and types is accomplished with dynamic configuration files (deploymentconfig.xml or userconfig.xml).
-
-For details on App-V integration, see [Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0 Integration](/archive/blogs/appv/microsoft-application-virtualization-5-0-integration).
-
-### Software clients and application capabilities
-
-App-V supports specific software clients and application capabilities extension points to register virtualized applications with the operating system's software client. This specific support means users can select default programs for operations like email, instant messaging, and using the media player. This operation is performed in the control panel with **Set Program Access** and **Computer Defaults**, and is configured during sequencing in the manifest or dynamic configuration files. Application capabilities are only supported when the App-V applications are published globally.
-
-The following example illustrates a software client registration of an App-V-based mail client.
-
-```XML
-    <SoftwareClients Enabled="true">
-      <ClientConfiguration EmailEnabled="true" />
-      <Extensions>
-        <Extension Category="AppV.SoftwareClient">

-              </ShellCommands>
-              <MAPILibrary>[{ProgramFilesX86}]\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32_InUse.dll</MAPILibrary>

-      </Extensions>
-    </SoftwareClients>
-```
-
->[!NOTE]
->In this example:
->- `<ClientConfiguration EmailEnabled="true" />` is the overall Software Clients setting to integrate Email clients.
->- `<EMail MakeDefault="true">` is the flag to set a particular Email client as the default Email client.
->- `<MAPILibrary>[{ProgramFilesX86}]\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32_InUse.dll</MAPILibrary>` is the MAPI dll registration.
-
-### URL Protocol handler
-
-Virtual applications don't always specifically utilize file type invocation. For, example, in an application that supports embedding a mailto: link inside a document or web page, the user selects the link expecting to access their registered mail client. App-V supports URL Protocol handlers that can be registered on a per-package basis with the local operating system. During sequencing, the URL Protocol handlers are automatically added to the package.
-
-For situations where there's  more than one application that could register the specific URL Protocol handler, the dynamic configuration files can be utilized to modify the behavior and suppress or disable this feature for an application that shouldn't be the primary application launched.
-
-### AppPath
-
-The AppPath extension point supports calling App-V applications directly from the operating system. Administrators can provide access to App-V applications from operating system commands or scripts without calling the specific path to the executable from either the Run or Start Screen, depending on the operating system. It therefore avoids modifying the system path environment variable on all systems, as it's accomplished during publishing.
-
-The AppPath extension point is configured either in the manifest or in the dynamic configuration files and is stored in the registry on the local machine during publishing for the user. For more information on AppPath review: [App Paths - A Virtual Application Extension in App-V 5.0](/archive/blogs/virtualworld/app-paths-a-virtual-application-extension-in-app-v-5-0).
-
-### Virtual application
-
-This subsystem provides a list of applications captured during sequencing which is consumed by other App-V components. Integration of extension points belonging to a specific application can be disabled using dynamic configuration files. For example, if a package contains two applications, you can disable all extension points belonging to one application to only allow integration of extension points for the other application.
-
-### Extension point rules
-
-The previously described extension points are integrated into the operating system based on how the packages have been published. Global publishing places extension points in public machine locations, where user publishing places extension points in user locations. For example, a shortcut created on the desktop and published globally will result in the file data for the shortcut (%Public%\\Desktop) and the registry data (HKLM\\Software\\Classes). The same shortcut would have file data (%UserProfile%\\Desktop) and registry data (HKCU\\Software\\Classes).
-
-Extension points aren't all published the same way, where some extension points will require global publishing and others require sequencing on the specific operating system and architecture where they're delivered. Below is a table that describes these two key rules.
-
-|Virtual Extension|Requires target OS sequencing|Requires global publishing|
-|---|:---:|:---:|
-|Shortcut|||
-|File Type Association|||
-|URL Protocols|X||
-|AppPaths|X||
-|COM Mode|||
-|Software Client|X||
-|Application Capabilities|X|X|
-|Context Menu Handler|X|X|
-|Drag-and-drop Handler|X||
-|Data Object Handler|X||
-|Property Sheet Handler|X||
-|Infotip Handler|X||
-|Column Handler|X||
-|Shell Extensions|X||
-|Browser Helper Object|X|X|
-|Active X Object|X|X|

-## Dynamic configuration processing
-
-Deploying App-V packages to a single machine or user is simple. However, as organizations deploy App-V applications across business lines and geographic and political boundaries, it becomes impossible to sequence all applications with the same settings. App-V was designed to overcome this problem by capturing specific settings and configurations during sequencing in the Manifest file while also supporting modification with Dynamic Configuration files.
-
-App-V dynamic configuration lets you specify a package policy at either the machine or user levels. Sequencing engineers can use Dynamic Configuration files to modify the configuration of a package post-sequencing to address the needs of individual groups of users or machines. In some instances, it may be necessary to modify the application to provide proper functionality within the App-V environment. For example, you may need to modify the \_\*config.xml files to allow certain actions to be performed at a specified time while executing the application, like disabling a mailto extension to prevent a virtualized application from overwriting that extension from another application.
-
-App-V packages contain the Manifest file inside of the App-V Package file, which is representative of sequencing operations and is the policy of choice unless Dynamic Configuration files are assigned to a specific package. Post-sequencing, the Dynamic Configuration files can be modified to allow an application to be published to different desktops or users with different extension points. The two Dynamic Configuration files are the Dynamic Deployment Configuration (DDC) and Dynamic User Configuration (DUC) files. This section focuses on the combination of the manifest and dynamic configuration files.
-
-### Examples of dynamic configuration files
-
-The following example shows the combination of the Manifest, Deployment Configuration, and User Configuration files after publishing and during normal operation. These examples are abbreviated examples of each of the files. The purpose is to show the combination of the files only, not to be a complete description of the specific categories available in each file. For more information, download the [App-V Sequencing Guide](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=27760).

-## Side-by-side assemblies
-
-App-V supports automatic packaging of side-by-side assemblies during sequencing and deployment on the client during virtual application publishing. App-V also supports capturing side-by-side assemblies during sequencing for assemblies not present on the sequencing machine. For assemblies consisting of Visual C++ (Version 8 and newer) or MSXML run-time, the Sequencer will automatically detect and capture these dependencies even if they weren't installed during monitoring.
-
-The side-by-side assemblies feature removes the limitations of previous versions of App-V, where the App-V Sequencer didn't capture assemblies already present on the sequencing workstation, and privatized the assemblies, which limited it to a bit version per package. This behavior resulted in App-V applications being deployed to clients missing the required side-by-side assemblies, which led to application launch failures. This failure forced the packaging process to document and ensure that all assemblies required for packages were locally installed on the user’s client operating system. This task was both a management and implementation challenge due to the number of assemblies and the lack of application documentation for the required dependencies.
-
-Side-by-side assembly support in App-V has the following features:
-
-- Automatic captures of side-by-side assembly during sequencing, regardless of whether the assembly was already installed on the sequencing workstation.
-- The App-V Client automatically installs required side-by-side assemblies to the client computer at publishing time if they aren't already installed.
-- The Sequencer reports the VC run-time dependency in Sequencer reporting mechanism.
-- The Sequencer allows opting to not package assemblies already installed on the Sequencer, supporting scenarios where the assemblies have previously been installed on the target computers.
-
-### Automatic publishing of side-by-side assemblies
-
-During publishing of an App-V package with side-by-side assemblies, the App-V Client will check for the presence of the assembly on the machine. If it doesn't detect an assembly, the client will deploy the assembly to the machine. Packages that are part of connection groups will rely on the side-by-side assembly installations in the base packages, as the connection groups don't contain any information about assembly installation.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Unpublishing or removing a package with an assembly doesn't remove the assemblies for that package.
-
-## Client logging
-
-The App-V Client logs information to the Windows Event log in standard ETW format. The specific App-V events can be found in the event viewer under **Applications and Services Logs\\Microsoft\\AppV\\Client**.
-
-There're three specific categories of events recorded:
-
-- **Admin** logs events for configurations applied to the App-V Client and also contains the primary warnings and errors.
-- **Operational** logs the general App-V execution and usage of individual components, creating an audit log of the App-V Client's completed App-V operations.
-- **Virtual Application** logs virtual application launches and use of virtualization subsystems.

-# How to apply the deployment configuration file by using Windows PowerShell
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-When you add or set a package to a computer running the App-V client before it's been published, a dynamic deployment configuration file is applied to it. The dynamic deployment configuration file configures the default settings for the package that all users share on the computer running the App-V client. This section will tell you how to use a deployment configuration file.
-
-## Apply the deployment configuration file with Windows PowerShell
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The following example cmdlet uses the following two file paths for the package and configuration files:
-> 
-> * C:\\Packages\\Contoso\\MyApp.appv
-> * C:\\Packages\\Contoso\\DynamicConfigurations\\deploymentconfig.xml
-> 
-> If your package and configuration files use different file paths than the example, feel free to replace them as needed.
-
-To specify a new default set of configurations for all users who will run the package on a specific computer, in a Windows PowerShell console, enter the following cmdlet:
-
-```PowerShell
-Add-AppVClientPackage -Path C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration C:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml
-```
-
->[!NOTE]
->This command captures the resulting object into $pkg. If the package is already present on the computer, you can use the **Set-AppVclientPackage** cmdlet to apply the deployment configuration document:
->
->  ```PowerShell
->  Set-AppVClientPackage -Name Myapp -Path C:\Packages\Contoso\MyApp.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration C:\Packages\Contoso\DynamicConfigurations\deploymentconfig.xml
->  ```

-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-Sequencing multiple apps at the same time requires you to install and start Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer), and to install the necessary apps to collect any changes made to the operating system during the installation and building of the App-V package.
-
-Starting with Windows 10 version 1703, running the App-V Sequencer automatically captures and stores your customizations as an App-V project template (.appvt) file. If you want to make changes to this package later, your customizations will be automatically loaded from this template file. This automatic customization load is applicable to all of the sequencing scenarios:
-
-- Using the **New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages** cmdlet
-- Using the App-V Sequencer interface
-- Using the **New-AppVSequencerPackage** cmdlet
-
->[!NOTE]
->If you're trying to update multiple apps at the same time, see  [Automatically update multiple apps at the same time using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)](appv-auto-batch-updating.md).
-
-### Sequence multiple apps with a PowerShell cmdlet
-
-Sequencing multiple apps at the same time requires that you create a **ConfigFile** with info related to each round of sequencing. 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.
-
-#### Create your ConfigFile for use by the PowerShell cmdlet
-
-1. Determine the apps that need to be included in your App-V sequencing package, and then open a text editor, such as Notepad.
-
-2. Add the following required XML info for each app:
-
-    - ```<AppName>```. 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 file will typically be an .exe or .msi file.
-    - ```<InstallerOptions>```. The command-line options required for the app installation.
-    - ```<TimeoutInMinutes>```. The maximum amount of time, in minutes, that the cmdlet should wait for sequencing 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 sequencing, 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
-        <?xml version="1.0"?>
-            <Applications>
-                <Application>
-                    <AppName>Skype for Windows</AppName>
-                    <InstallerFolder>D:\Install\New\SkypeforWindows</InstallerFolder>
-                    <Installer>SkypeSetup.exe</Installer>
-                    <InstallerOptions>/S</InstallerOptions>
-                    <TimeoutInMinutes>20</TimeoutInMinutes>
-                    <Cmdlet>True</Cmdlet>
-                    <Enabled>True</Enabled>
-                </Application>
-                <Application>
-                    <AppName>Power BI</AppName>
-                    <InstallerFolder>D:\Install\New\MicrosoftPowerBI</InstallerFolder>
-                    <Installer>PBIDesktop.msi</Installer>
-                    <InstallerOptions>/S</InstallerOptions>
-                    <TimeoutInMinutes>20</TimeoutInMinutes>
-                    <Cmdlet>True</Cmdlet>
-                    <Enabled>True</Enabled>
-                </Application>
-            </Applications>
-        </xml>
-        ```
-3. Save your completed file, using the name **ConfigFile**.
-
-#### 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 sequencing:
-
-```PowerShell
-New-BatchAppVSequencerPackages –ConfigFile <path_to_configfile> –VMName <name_of_vm> -OutputPath <path_to_your_output>
-```
-
-Where ```<name_of_vm>``` is the name of the virtual machine (VM) with the App-V Sequencer installed, where you'll run the batch sequencing, and ```<path_to_your_output>``` 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 the sequencing and package creation for the first app on the VM is completed, 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 three 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 for each app, such as "Copying installer to VM," "Scheduling sequencing task," and so on. 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 clean up unpublished packages on the App-V client
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-If you wanted to free up additional storage space in previous versions of App-V, you would have had to manually remove your unpublished packages from your client devices. Starting with Windows 10 version 1703, use PowerShell or Group Policy settings to automatically clean up your unpublished packages after restarting your device.
-
-## Clean up with PowerShell cmdlets
-
-You can enter PowerShell cmdlets to turn on the **AutoCleanupEnabled** setting, which will automatically clean up your unpublished App-V packages from your App-V client devices.
-
-### Turn on the AutoCleanupEnabled option
-
-1. Open PowerShell as an admin and enter the following cmdlet to turn on the automatic package cleanup functionality:
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    Set-AppvClientConfiguration -AutoCleanupEnabled 1
-    ```
-
-    After running the cmdlet, you should see the following info on the PowerShell screen:
-
-    |Name|Value|SetbyGroupPolicy|
-    |---|---|---|
-    |AutoCleanupEnabled|1|False|
-
-1. Run the following cmdlet to check if the configuration has the cleanup setting turned on.
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    Get-AppvClientConfiguration
-    ```
-    If the **AutoCleanupEnabled** option shows a value of **1** in the configuration list, that means the setting is turned on.
-
-## Clean up with Group Policy settings
-
-Using Group Policy, you can turn on the **Enable automatic cleanup of unused App-V packages** setting to automatically clean up your unpublished App-V packages from your App-V client devices.
-
-### Turn on the Enable automatic cleanup of unused App-V packages setting
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor and select the **Administrative Templates\System\App-V\PackageManagement\Enable automatic cleanup of unused App-V packages** setting.
-
-2. Select **Enabled**, then select **OK**.
-
-    After your Group Policy updates and you reset the client, the setting will clean up any unpublished App-V packages on the App-V client.

-# Automatically provision your sequencing environment using Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer (App-V Sequencer)
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-Previous versions of the App-V Sequencer have required you to manually create your sequencing environment. Starting with Windows 10 version 1703, the `New-AppVSequencerVM` and `Connect-AppvSequencerVM` Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available, which automatically create your sequencing environment for you, including provisioning your virtual machine.
-
-## Automatic VM provisioning of the sequencing environment
-
-You have two options for provisioning a VM for auto-sequencing:
-
-1. Using a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD)
-2. Updating an existing VM
-
-You can only choose one option.
-
->[!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 with 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://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Convert-WindowsImage/10.0) command-line tool.
-
-#### Create a VHD file with 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 "<path_to_iso_image>" -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**. If you use the default value, **GPT**, will cause a boot failure in your VHD image.
-
-#### Provision your VM with your VHD file
-
-After you have a VHD file, you must provision your VM for auto-sequencing.
-
-1. On the Host device, install the Windows client 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](/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/Hyper-V-on-Windows-Server).
-3. Open PowerShell as an admin and run the **New-AppVSequencerVM** cmdlet, using the following parameters:
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    New-AppVSequencerVM -VMName "<name_of_new_vm>" -ADKPath "<path_to_adk_install_folder>" -VHDPath "<path_to_vhd_file>" -VMMemory "<vm_memory_size>" -VMSwitch "<name_of_network_switch>"
-    ```
-
-   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.
-
-#### 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_:** 
-    
-        ```PowerShell
-        Get-netconnectionprofile | set-netconnectionprofile -NetworkCategory Private
-        ```
-        
-    - **Enable firewall rules for _Remote Desktop_ and _Windows Remote Management_:**
-    
-        ```PowerShell
-        Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Remote Desktop”
-        Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup “Windows Remote Management”
-        ```
-
-    - **Set the VM to receive remote commands without a confirmation prompt:**
-    
-        ```PowerShell
-        Enable-PSRemoting –Force
-        ```
-
-#### Provision an existing VM
-
-1. On the Host device, install the Windows client 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 "<name_of_vm>"
-    ```
-    
-    Where ```<name_of_vm>``` is the name of the VM as shown in the Hyper-V Manager tool.
-
-This command connects to an existing Hyper-V VM using the provided VM name for auto-sequencing.
-
-### Review the provisioning log files
-
-The two 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 the following articles
-
-- [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)
-- [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 clean up any unpublished packages on the App-V client. To learn more, see [Automatically clean up unpublished packages on the App-V client](appv-auto-clean-unpublished-packages.md).

-# App-V Capacity Planning
-
->Applies to: Windows Server 2016
-
-The following recommendations can be used as a baseline to help determine capacity planning information that is appropriate to your organization’s App-V infrastructure.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Use the information in this section only as a general guide for planning your App-V deployment. Your system capacity requirements will depend on the specific details of your hardware and application environment. Additionally, the performance numbers displayed in this document are examples and your results may vary.
-
-## Determine the project scope
-
-Before you design the App-V infrastructure, determining which applications will be available virtually, and also identify the target users and their locations. This information will determine what type of App-V infrastructure your project should implement. You should base your decisions about your project's scope on your organization's specific needs.
-
-|Task|More information|
-|----|----------------|
-|Determine application scope|The App-V infrastructure can be set up in different ways depending on which applications you want to virtualize. This customization in set up means your first task is to define which applications you want to virtualize.|
-|Determine location scope|"Location scope" refers to the physical locations where you plan to run the virtualized applications (for example, enterprise-wide or a specific geographic location). It can also refer to the user population that will run the virtual applications (for example, a single department). You should obtain a network map that includes the connection paths, the available bandwidth for each location, the number of users using virtualized applications, and the WAN link speed.|
-
-## Determine which App-V infrastructure is required
-
-You can also manage your App-V environment using an electronic software distribution (ESD) solution such as Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager. For more information, see [How to deploy App-V packages using electronic software distribution](appv-deploy-appv-packages-with-electronic-software-distribution-solutions.md).
-
-* **Standalone model**—The standalone model allows virtual applications to be Windows Installer-enabled for distribution without streaming. App-V in Standalone mode only needs the sequencer and the client; no extra components are required. Applications are prepared for virtualization using a process called sequencing. For more information, see [Planning for the App-V Sequencer and Client deployment](appv-planning-for-sequencer-and-client-deployment.md). The standalone model is recommended for the following scenarios:
-
-    * When there are disconnected remote users who can't connect to the App-V infrastructure.
-    * When you're running a software management system, such as Configuration Manager.
-    * When network bandwidth limitations inhibit electronic software distribution.
-* **Full infrastructure model**—The full infrastructure model provides for software distribution, management, and reporting capabilities; it also includes the streaming of applications across the network. The App-V full infrastructure model consists of one or more App-V management servers that can be used to publish applications to all clients. Publishing places the virtual application icons and shortcuts on the target computer. It can also stream applications to local users. For more information about how to install the management server, see [Planning for App-V Server deployment](appv-planning-for-appv-server-deployment.md). The full infrastructure model is recommended for the following scenarios:
-
-    * When you want to use the Management Server to publish the application to target computers.
-    * For rapid provisioning of applications to target computers.
-    * When you want to use App-V reporting.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->The App-V full infrastructure model requires Microsoft SQL Server to store configuration data. For more information, see [App-V supported configurations](appv-supported-configurations.md).
-
-## End-to-end server sizing guidance
-
-The following section describes end-to-end App-V sizing and planning. For more specific information, refer to the subsequent sections.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Round trip response time on the client is the time taken by the computer running the App-V client to receive a successful notification from the publishing server. Round trip response time on the publishing server is the time taken by the computer running the publishing server to receive a successful package metadata update from the management server.
-
-* 20,000 clients can target a single publishing server to obtain the package refreshes in an acceptable round trip time (<3 seconds).
-* A single management server can support up to 50 publishing servers for package metadata refreshes in an acceptable round trip time (<5 seconds).
-
-## App-V Management Server capacity planning recommendations
-
-The App-V publishing servers require the management server for package refresh requests and package refresh responses. The management server then sends the information to the management database to retrieve information. For more information about App-V management server supported configurations, see [App-V supported configurations](appv-supported-configurations.md).
-
->[!NOTE]
->The default refresh time on the App-V publishing server is ten minutes.
-
-When multiple simultaneous publishing servers contact a single management server for package metadata refreshes, the following three factors will influence the publishing server's round-trip response time:
-
-1. The number of publishing servers making simultaneous requests.
-2. The number of connection groups configured on the management server.
-3. The number of access groups configured on the management server.
-
-The following table describes each factor that impacts round-trip time in more detail.
-
->[!NOTE]
->Round trip response time is the time taken by the computer running the App-V publishing server to receive a successful package metadata update from the management server.
-
-|Factors impacting round-trip response time|Description|
-|------------------------------------------|-----------|
-|The number of publishing servers simultaneously requesting package metadata refreshes.|A single management server can respond to up to 320 publishing servers simultaneously requesting publishing metadata. For example, in a case with 30 publishing servers simultaneously requesting publishing metadata, the round-trip response time is about 40 seconds, while for less than 50 servers it's less than 5 seconds. From 50 to 320 publishing servers, response team increases linearly (approximately 2×).|
-|The number of connection groups configured on the management server.|For up to 100 connection groups, there's no significant change in the round-trip response time on the publishing server. For 100–400 connection groups, there's a minor linear increase in the round-trip response time.|
-|The number of access groups configured on the management server.|For up to 40 access groups, there's a linear (approximately 3×) increase in the round-trip response time on the publishing server.|
-
-The following table displays sample values for each of the previous factors. In each variation, 120 packages are refreshed from the App-V management server.
-
-|Scenario|Variation|Number of connection groups|Number of access groups|Number of publishing servers|Network connection type|Round-trip response time (seconds)|Management server CPU utilization|
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-|Publishing servers contact management server for publishing metadata at same time|Number of publishing servers.|0<br>0<br>0<br>0<br>0<br>0|1<br>1<br>1<br>1<br>1<br>1|50<br>100<br>200<br>300<br>315<br>320|LAN|5<br>10<br>19<br>32<br>30<br>37|17<br>17<br>17<br>15<br>17<br>15|
-|Publishing metadata contains connection groups|Number of connection groups|10<br>20<br>100<br>150<br>300<br>400|1<br>1<br>1<br>1<br>1<br>1|100<br>100<br>100<br>100<br>100<br>100|LAN|10<br>11<br>11<br>16<br>22<br>25|17<br>19<br>22<br>19<br>20<br>20|
-|Publishing metadata contains access groups|Number of access groups|0<br>0<br>0<br>0|1<br>10<br>20<br>40|100<br>100<br>100<br>100|LAN|10<br>43<br>153<br>535|17<br>26<br>24<br>24|
-
-The CPU utilization of the computer running the management server is around 25% irrespective of the number of publishing servers targeting it. The Microsoft SQL Server database transactions/sec, batch requests/sec and user connections are identical irrespective of the number of publishing servers. For example, transactions/sec is approximately 30, batch requests approximately 200, and user connects approximately six.
-
-Through a geographically distributed deployment, where the management server and publishing servers utilize a slow link network between them, the round-trip response time on the publishing servers is within acceptable time limits (<5 seconds), even for 100 simultaneous requests on a single management server.
-
-|Scenario|Variation|Number of connection groups|Number of access groups|Number of publishing servers|Network connection type|Round-trip response time (seconds)|Management server CPU utilization (in %)|
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-|Network connection between the publishing server and management server|1.5 Mbps Slow link Network|0<br>0|1<br>1|50<br>100|1.5 Mbps Cable DSL|4<br>5|1<br>2|
-|Network connection between the publishing server and management server|LAN/WiFi Network|0<br>0|1<br>1|100<br>200|WiFi|11<br>20|15<br>17|
-
-Whether the management server and publishing servers are connected over a slow link network, or a high speed network, the management server can handle approximately 15,000 package refresh requests in 30 minutes.
-
-## App-V Reporting Server capacity planning recommendations
-
-App-V clients send reporting data to the reporting server. The reporting server then records the information in the Microsoft SQL Server database and returns a successful notification back to the computer running App-V client. For more information about the App-V Reporting Server's supported configurations, see [App-V supported configurations](appv-supported-configurations.md).
-
->[!NOTE]
->Round-trip response time is the time taken by the computer running the App-V client to send the reporting information to the reporting server and receive a successful notification from the reporting server.
-
-|Scenario|Summary|
-|---|---|
-|Multiple App-V clients send reporting information to the reporting server simultaneously.|Round-trip response time from the reporting server is 2.6 seconds for 500 clients. Round-trip response time from the reporting server is 5.65 seconds for 1000 clients. Round-trip response time increases linearly depending on number of clients.|
-|Requests per second processed by the reporting server.|A single reporting server and a single database can process a maximum of 139 requests per second. The average is 121 requests/second. With the help of two reporting servers that report to the same Microsoft SQL Server database, the average requests/second, like a single reporting server, is about 127, with a max of 278 requests/second. A single reporting server can process 500 concurrent/active connections. A single reporting server can process a maximum 1,500 concurrent connections.|
-|Reporting database.|Lock contention on the computer running Microsoft SQL Server is the limiting factor for requests/second. Throughput and response time are independent of database size.|
-
-### Calculating random delay
-
-The random delay specifies the maximum delay (in minutes) for data to be sent to the reporting server. When the scheduled task is started, the client generates a random delay between **0** and **ReportingRandomDelay** and will wait the specified duration before sending data.
-
-*Random delay = 4 × number of clients/average requests per second*.
-
-Example: Random delay for 500 clients with 120 requests per second is *4 × 500/120 = about 17 minutes*.
-
-## App-V publishing server capacity planning recommendations
-
-Computers running the App-V client connect to the App-V publishing server to send a publishing refresh request and receive a response. Round trip response time is measured on the computer running the App-V client, while processor time is measured on the publishing server. For more information about App-V Publishing Server supported configurations, see [App-V supported configurations](appv-supported-configurations.md).
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> The following list displays the main factors to consider when setting up the App-V publishing server:
-> * The number of clients connecting simultaneously to a single publishing server.
-> * The number of packages in each refresh.
-> * The available network bandwidth in your environment between the client and the App-V publishing server.
-
-|Scenario|Summary|
-|---|---|
-|Multiple App-V clients connect to a single publishing server simultaneously.|A publishing server running dual core processors can respond to at most 5000 clients requesting a refresh simultaneously. For 5,000–10,000 clients, the publishing server requires a minimum quad core. For 10,000–20,000 clients, the publishing server should have dual quad cores for more efficient response times. A publishing server with a quad core can refresh up to 10,000 packages within three seconds. (Supports 10,000 simultaneous clients.)|
-|Number of packages in each refresh.|Increasing number of packages will increase response time by about 40% (up to 1,000 packages).|
-|Network between the App-V client and the publishing server.|Across a slow network (1.5-Mbps bandwidth), there's a 97% increase in response time compared to LAN (up to 1,000 users).|
-
->[!NOTE]
->The publishing server CPU usage is always high during the time interval when it must process simultaneous requests (>90% in most cases). The publishing server can handle about 1,500 client requests in one second.
-

-## App-V streaming capacity planning recommendations
-
-Computers running the App-V client stream the virtual application package from the streaming server. Round trip response time is measured on the computer running the App-V client, and is the time taken to stream the entire package.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> The following list identifies the main factors to consider when setting up the App-V streaming server:
-> * The number of clients streaming application packages simultaneously from a single streaming server.
-> * The size of the package being streamed.
-> * The available network bandwidth in your environment between the client and the streaming server.
-
-|Scenario|Summary|
-|---|---|
-|Multiple App-V clients stream applications from a single streaming server simultaneously.|If the number of clients simultaneously streaming from the same server increases, there's a linear relationship with the package download/streaming time.|
-|Size of the package being streamed.|The package size has a significant impact on the streaming/download time only for larger packages with a size of about 1 GB. For package sizes ranging from 3 MB to 100 MB, the streaming time ranges from 20 seconds to 100 seconds, with 100 simultaneous clients.|
-|Network between the App-V client and the streaming server.|Across a slow network (1.5-Mbps bandwidth), there's a 70–80% increase in response time compared to LAN (up to 100 users).|
-
-The following table displays sample values for each of the factors in the previous list:
-
-|Scenario|Variation|Number of App-V clients|Size of each package|Network connection type|Round-trip time on the App-V client (in seconds)|
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-|Multiple App-V clients streaming virtual application packages from a streaming server.|Number of clients.|100<br>200<br>1,000<br>100<br>200<br>1,000|3.5 MB<br>3.5 MB<br>3.5 MB<br>5 MB<br>5 MB<br>5 MB|LAN|29<br>39<br>391<br>35<br>68<br>461|
-|Size of each package being streamed.|Size of each package.|100<br>200<br>100<br>200|21 MB<br>21 MB<br>109 MB<br>109 MB|LAN|33<br>83<br>100<br>160|
-|Network connection between client and App-V streaming server.|1.5 Mbps Slow link network.|100<br>100|3.5 MB<br>5 MB|1.5-Mbps intra-continental network|102<br>121|
-
-Each App-V streaming server should be able to handle a minimum of 200 clients concurrently streaming virtualized applications.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The actual time to it will take to stream is determined primarily by the number of clients streaming simultaneously, number of packages, package size, the server’s network activity, and network conditions.
-
-For example, an average user can stream a 100-MB package in less than 2 minutes, when 100 simultaneous clients are streaming from the server. However, a package of size 1 GB could take up to 30 minutes. In most real-world environments, streaming demand isn't uniformly distributed, you'll need to understand the approximate peak streaming requirements present in your environment to properly size the number of required streaming servers.
-
-The number of clients a streaming server can support can be increased and the peak streaming requirements reduced if you pre-cache your applications. You can also increase the number of clients a streaming server can support by using on-demand streaming delivery and stream optimized packages.
-
-## Combining App-V server roles
-
-Discounting scaling and fault-tolerance requirements, the minimum number of servers that a location with Active Directory connectivity needs to function is 1. This server will host the management server, management server service, and Microsoft SQL Server roles. This coverage means that you can arrange server roles in any combination you like, as they don't conflict with one another.
-
-Notwithstanding scaling requirements, the minimum number of servers that a fault-tolerant implementation needs to function is four. The management server and Microsoft SQL Server roles support placement in fault-tolerant configurations. The management server service can be combined with any of the roles, but remains a single point of failure.
-
-Although there are many fault-tolerance strategies and technologies you can use, not all are applicable to a given service. Additionally, if App-V roles are combined, the resulting incompatibilities could cause certain fault-tolerance options to stop working.

-
-The Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) client stores its configuration in the registry. Understanding how the register's format for data works can help you better understand the client, as you can configure many client actions by changing registry entries. This topic lists the App-V client configuration settings and explains their uses. You can use Windows PowerShell to modify the client configuration settings. For more information about using Windows PowerShell and App-V, see [Administering App-V by using Windows PowerShell](appv-administering-appv-with-powershell.md).
-
-You can use Group Policy to configure App-V client settings by navigating to the **Group Policy management console** at **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **System** > **App-V**.

-# How to configure access to packages by using the Management Console
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-Before you deploy an App-V virtualized package, you must configure the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) security groups that will be allowed to access and run the applications. The security groups may contain computers or users. Entitling a package to a computer group publishes the package globally to all computers in the group.
-
-Use the following procedure to configure access to virtualized packages.
-
-## Grant access to an App-V package
-
-1. Find the package you want to configure:
-
-    1. Open the App-V Management console.
-
-    1. Right-click the package to be configured, then select **Edit active directory access** to display the **AD Access** page. Alternatively, select the package and select **Edit** in the **AD Access** pane.
-
-2. Provision a security group for the package:
-

-# How to make a connection group ignore the package version
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-You can use Application Virtualization (App-V) to configure a connection group to use any version of a package, simplifying package upgrades and reducing the number of connection groups you need to create.
-
-You can also configure a connection group to accept any version of a package, so that you can upgrade the package without having to disable the connection group.
-
-- If the connection group has access to multiple versions of a package, App-V will use the latest version.
-
-- If the connection group contains an optional package with an incorrect version, App-V ignores the package and won't block the connection group's virtual environment from being created.
-
-- If the connection group contains a non-optional package that has an incorrect version, App-V won't be able to create the connection group's virtual environment.
-
-## Make a connection group ignore the package version with the App-V Server Management Console
-
-1. In the Management Console, select **Connection Groups**.
-
-2. Select the correct connection group from the Connection Groups library.
-
-3. Select **Edit** in the Connected Packages pane.
-
-4. Select the **Use Any Version** check box next to the package name, then select **Apply**.
-
-For more about adding or upgrading packages, see [How to add or upgrade packages by using the Management Console](appv-add-or-upgrade-packages-with-the-management-console.md).
-
-## Make a connection group ignore the package version from the App-V client on a stand-alone computer
-
-1. Create the connection group XML document.
-
-2. Set the **Package** tag attribute **VersionID** to an asterisk (<strong>*</strong>) to upgrade the package.
-
-3. Enter the following cmdlet (including the path to the connection group XML document) to add the connection group:
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup
-    ```
-
-    For more information about how to use the **Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup** cmdlet, see [**Add-AppvClientConnectionGroup**](/powershell/module/appvclient/add-appvclientconnectiongroup).
-
-4. When you upgrade a package, use the following cmdlets to remove the old package, add the upgraded package, and publish the upgraded package:
-
-    - [**Remove-AppvClientPackage**](/powershell/module/appvclient/remove-appvclientpackage)
-    - [**Add-AppvClientPackage**](/powershell/module/appvclient/add-appvclientpackage)

-# How to configure the client to receive package and connection groups updates from the publishing server
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-The App-V publishing server's single-point management and high scalability lets you deploy packages and connection groups and keep them up to date.
-
-This article will tell you how to configure the App-V client to receive updates from the publishing server.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The following example has the management server installed on a computer named **MyMgmtSrv**, and the publishing server installed on a computer named **MyPubSrv**. If the computers you'll be configuring the App-V client on have different names, you should replace the example's names with your computer's names.
-
-## Configure the App-V client to receive updates from the publishing server
-
-1. Deploy the App-V management and publishing servers, and add the required packages and connection groups. For more information about adding packages and connection groups, see [How to add or upgrade packages by using the Management Console](appv-add-or-upgrade-packages-with-the-management-console.md) and [How to create a connection group](appv-create-a-connection-group.md).
-2. To open the management console, open a web browser and enter the following URL: `https://MyMgmtSrv/AppvManagement/Console.html`. Import, publish, and entitle all packages and connection groups that your users will need.
-3. On the computer running the App-V client, open an elevated Windows PowerShell command prompt, and run the following command:
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    Add-AppvPublishingServer -Name ABC -URL https://MyPubSrv/AppvPublishing
-    ```
-
-    This command will configure the specified publishing server. You should see output similar to the following:
-    
-    ```PowerShell
-    Id                        : 1
-    SetByGroupPolicy          : False
-    Name                      : ABC
-    URL                       : https://MyPubSrv/AppvPublishing
-    GlobalRefreshEnabled      : False
-    GlobalRefreshOnLogon      : False
-    GlobalRefreshInterval     : 0
-    GlobalRefreshIntervalUnit : Day
-    UserRefreshEnabled        : True
-    UserRefreshOnLogon        : True
-    UserRefreshInterval       : 0
-    UserRefreshIntervalUnit   : Day
-    ```
-
-4. On the computer running the App-V client, open a Windows PowerShell command prompt and enter the following cmdlet:
-
-    ```PowerShell
-    Sync-AppvPublishingServer -ServerId 1
-    ```
-
-    This cmdlet will query the publishing server for which packages and connection groups need to be added or removed for this particular client based on your configured entitlements for the packages and connection groups on the management server.

-

-
-## Connection group file overview
-
-### What is a connection group?
-
-A connection group is an App-V feature that can group packages together to create a virtual environment where applications within that package group can interact with each other.
-
-For example, let's say you want to use plug-ins with Microsoft Office. You can create one package that contains the plug-ins and another package that contains Office, and then add both packages to the same connection group to enable Office to use those plug-ins.
-
-### How a connection group file works
-
-When you apply an App-V connection group file, all packages specified in the file will be combined at runtime into a single virtual environment. Use the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) connection group file to configure existing App-V connection groups.
-
-An example file path for a package file would be %APPDATA%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Catalog\PackageGroups\{6CCC7575-162E-4152-9407-ED411DA138F4}\{4D1E16E1-8EF8-41ED-92D5-8910A8527F96}.
-
-## Structure of the connection group XML file
-
-This section will tell you more about the components of the connection group XML file.
-
-### Parameters that define the connection group
-
-The following table describes the parameters in the XML file that define the connection group itself, not the packages.
-
-|Field|Description|
-|-----|-----------|
-|Schema name|Name of the schema.</br>If you want to use the “optional packages” and “use any version” features described in this table, you must specify the following schema in the XML file:</br>`xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2014/virtualapplicationconnectiongroup"`|
-|AppConnectionGroupId|Unique GUID identifier for this connection group. The connection group state is associated with this identifier. Specify this identifier only when you create the connection group.</br>You can create a new GUID by entering **[Guid]::NewGuid()**.|
-|VersionId|Version GUID identifier for this version of the connection group.</br>When you update a connection group (for example, by adding or updating a new package), you must update the version GUID to reflect the new version.|
-|DisplayName|Display name of the connection group.|
-|Priority|Optional priority field for the connection group.</br>A value of **0** indicates the highest priority.</br>If a priority is required but has not been configured, the package will fail because it can't determine the correct connection group to use.|
-
-### Parameters that define the packages in the connection group
-
-In the **&lt;Packages&gt;** section of the connection group XML file, you list the member packages in the connection group by specifying each package’s unique package identifier and version identifier, as described in the following table. The first package in the list has the highest precedence.
-
-|Field|Description|
-|---|---|
-|PackageId|Unique GUID identifier for this package. This GUID doesn’t change when newer versions of the package are published.|
-|VersionId|Unique GUID identifier for the version of the package. </br>If you specify “*” for the package version, the GUID of the latest available package version is dynamically inserted.|
-|IsOptional|Parameter that enables you to make a package optional within the connection group. Valid entries are:</br>- “**true**”—package is optional in the connection group</br>- “**false**”—package is required in the connection group|
-
-### App-V example connection group XML file
-
-The following example connection group XML file shows examples of the fields listed in the previous tables.
-
-```XML
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
-<appv:AppConnectionGroup
-xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2014/virtualapplicationconnectiongroup"
-xmlns:appv="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2014/virtualapplicationconnectiongroup"
-  AppConnectionGroupId="61BE9B14-D2B4-41CE-A6E3-A1B658DE7000"
-  VersionId="E6B6AA57-F2A7-49C9-ADF8-F2B5B3C8A42F"
-  Priority="0"
-  DisplayName="Sample Connection Group">
-  <appv:Packages>
-    <appv:Package
-      PackageId="1DC709C8-309F-4AB4-BD47-F75926D04276"
-      VersionId="*"
-      IsOptional=”true”
-    />
-    <appv:Package
-      PackageId="04220DCA-EE77-42BE-A9F5-96FD8E8593F2"
-      VersionId="E15EFFE9-043D-4C01-BC52-AD2BD1E8BAFA"
-      IsOptional=”false”
-    />
-  </appv:Packages>
-```
-
-## Configuring the priority of packages in a connection group
-
-Package precedence is configured using the package list order. The first package in the document has the highest precedence. Subsequent packages in the list have descending priority.
-
-Package precedence is the resolution for otherwise inevitable resource collisions during virtual environment initialization. For example, if two packages that are opening in the same virtual environment define the same registry DWORD value, the package with the highest precedence determines the value that is set.
-
-You can use the connection group file to configure each connection group by using the following methods:
-
-- Specify runtime priorities for connection groups. To edit priority by using the App-V Management Console, select the connection group and then select **Edit**.
-
-   > [!NOTE]
-    >A package only requires priority if it's associated with more than one connection group.
-- Specify package precedence within the connection group.
-
-The priority field is required when a running virtual application initiates from a native application request, such as Microsoft Windows Explorer. The App-V client uses the priority to determine which connection group virtual environment the application should run in. This situation occurs if a virtual application is part of multiple connection groups.
-
-If a virtual application is opened using another virtual application, the client will use the original virtual application's virtual environment. The priority field is not used in this case.
-
-The following is an example of priority configuration:
-
-The virtual application Microsoft Outlook is running in virtual environment **XYZ**. When you open an attached Microsoft Word document, a virtualized version Microsoft Word opens in the virtual environment **XYZ**, regardless of the virtualized Microsoft Word’s associated connection groups or runtime priorities.
-
-## Supported virtual application connection configurations
-
-App-V supports the following application connection configurations.
-
-- **An .exe file and plug-in (.dll)**. For example, you might want to distribute Microsoft Office to all users, but only distribute a Microsoft Excel plug-in to a small subset of those users.
-
-    Enable the connection group for the appropriate users. Update each package individually as required.
-
-- **An .exe file and a middleware application**. This is for cases where you have an application that requires a middleware application, or several applications that all depend on the same middleware runtime version.
-
-    All computers that require one or more of the applications receive the connection groups with the application and middleware application runtime. You can optionally combine multiple middleware applications into a single connection group.
-
-    |Example|Example description|
-    |---|---|
-    |Virtual application connection group for the financial division|- Middleware application 1</br>- Middleware application 2</br>- Middleware application 3</br>- Middleware application runtime|
-    |Virtual application connection group for HR division|- Middleware application 5</br>- Middleware application 6</br>- Middleware application runtime|
-
-- **An. exe file and an .exe file**. This is for cases where you have an application that relies on another application, but you want to keep the packages separate for operational efficiencies, licensing restrictions, or rollout timelines.
-
-    For example, if you are deploying Microsoft Lync 2010, you can use three packages:
-  
-    - Microsoft Office 2010
-    - Microsoft Communicator 2007
-    - Microsoft Lync 2010
-  
-  You can manage the deployment with the following connection groups:
-
-    - Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Communicator 2007
-    - Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Lync 2010
-  
-  After deployment, you can either create a single new Microsoft Office 2010 + Microsoft Lync 2010 package or keep and maintain them as separate packages and deploy them with a connection group.

-# About the connection group virtual environment
-
-[!INCLUDE [Applies to Windows client versions](../includes/applies-to-windows-client-versions.md)]
-
-## How package priority is determined
-
-The virtual environment and its current state are associated with the connection group, not with the individual packages. If you remove an App-V package from the connection group, the state that existed as part of the connection group won't migrate with the package.
-
-If the same package is a part of two different connection groups, you have to indicate which connection group App-V should use. For example, you might have two packages in a connection group wherein each defines the same registry DWORD value.
-
-The connection group that is used is based on the order in which a package appears inside the **AppConnectionGroup** XML document:
-
-- The first package has the highest precedence.
-- The second package has the second highest precedence.
-
-Consider the following example section:
-
-```XML
-<appv:Packages>
-  <appv:Package
-    PackageId="A8731008-4523-4713-83A4-CD1363907160"
-    VersionId="E889951B-7F30-418B-A69C-B37283BC0DB9"
-  />
-  <appv:Package
-    PackageId="1DC709C8-309F-4AB4-BD47-F75926D04276"
-    VersionId="01F1943B-C778-40AD-BFAD-AC34A695DF3C"
-  />
-  <appv:Package
-    PackageId="04220DCA-EE77-42BE-A9F5-96FD8E8593F2"
-    VersionId="E15EFFE9-043D-4C01-BC52-AD2BD1E8BAFA"
-  />
-</appv:Packages>
-```
-
-Assume that same DWORD value ABC (HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\software\\contoso\\finapp\\region) is defined in the first and third package.
-
-For this example, the DWORD value definition would be as shown below:
-
-- Package 1 (A8731008-4523-4713-83A4-CD1363907160): HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\software\\contoso\\finapp\\region=5
-- Package 3 (04220DCA-EE77-42BE-A9F5-96FD8E8593F2): HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\software\\contoso\\finapp\\region=10
-
-Since Package 1 appears first, the AppConnectionGroup's virtual environment will have the single DWORD value of 5 (HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\software\\contoso\\finapp\\region=5). This result means that the virtual applications in Package 1, Package 2, and Package 3 will all see the value 5 when they query for HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\software\\contoso\\finapp\\region.
-
-Other virtual environment resources are resolved in a similar way, but usually collisions occur in the registry.
-
-## Merging identical package paths into one virtual directory in connection groups
-
-If two or more packages in a connection group contain identical directory paths, the paths are merged into a single virtual directory inside the connection group's virtual environment. Merging these paths allows an application in one package to access files that are in a different package.
-
-When you remove a package from a connection group, the removed package's applications can no longer access files from packages in the connection group it was removed from.
-
-App-V looks up a file’s name in the connection group in the order App-V packages are listed in the connection group manifest file.
-
-The following example shows the order and relationship of a file name lookup in a connection group for **Package A** and **Package B**.
-
-|Package A|Package B|
-|---|---|
-|C:\Windows\System32|C:\Windows\System32|
-|C:\AppTest|C:\AppTest|
-
-When a virtualized application tries to find a specific file, App-V will search for a matching file path in Package A. If it doesn't find a matching path in Package A, it will then search Package B using the following mapping rules:
-
-- If a file named **test.txt** exists in the same virtual folder hierarchy in both application packages, App-V will use the first matching file.
-- If a file named **bar.txt** exists in the virtual folder hierarchy of one application package, but not in the other, App-V will use the first matching file.
