# How to Install and Configure the Default Application
The default application is provided as part of the installation and is automatically copied to the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Management Server during installation. It is used to verify that the Management Server was installed and configured correctly, but it has to be published to the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client so that the user can access it.
Use the following procedures to publish the default application and to stream it.
**To publish the default application**
1. Log on to the App-V Management Server by using an account that is a member of the App-V Administrators group specified during installation.
2. On the App-V Management Server, click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Application Virtualization Management Console**.
3. In the App-V Management Console, click **Actions**, and then click **Connect to Application Virtualization System**.
4. On the **Configure Connection** page, clear the **Use Secure Connection** check box.
5. In the **Web Service Host Name** box, type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the App-V Management Server, and then click **OK**.
**Note**  
You can also use **localhost** for the Web Service Host name if it is installed on the Management Server.
 
6. In the App-V Management Console, right-click the **Server** node, and click **System Options**.
7. On the **General** tab, in the **Default Content Path** box, enter the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the Content folder you created on the server during installation; for example, \\\\<Server Name>\\Content, and then click **OK**.
**Important**  
Use the FQDN for the server name so that the client can resolve the name correctly.
 
8. In the App-V Management Console, in the navigation pane, expand the **Server** node, and then click **Applications**.
9. In the topic pane, click **Default Application**, and then, in the **Actions** pane, click **Properties**.
10. In the **Properties** dialog box, next to the **OSD Path** box, click **Browse**.
11. In the **Open** dialog box, enter the UNC path to the Content folder you created on the server during installation; for example, \\\\<Server Name>\\Content, and press ENTER. You must use the actual server name and cannot use the **localhost** here.
**Important**  
Ensure that the values in both the **OSD Path** and **Icon Path** boxes are in UNC format (for example, \\\\<Server Name>\\Content\\DefaultApp.ico), and point to the Content folder you created when installing the server. Do not use **localhost** or a file path containing a drive letter such as C:\\Program Files\\..\\..\\Content.
 
12. Select the DefaultApp.osd file, and click **Open**.
13. Repeat the previous steps to configure the icon path.
14. Click the **Access Permissions** tab, and confirm that the App-V Users group has access permissions to the application.
15. Click the **Shortcuts** tab, and then click **Publish to Users Desktop**. Click **OK**.
16. Open Windows Explorer, and locate the Content directory.
17. Double-click the DefaultApp.osd file, and open it with Notepad.
18. Locate the line that contains the **HREF** tag, and change it to the following code:
     `CODEBASEHREF=”RTSP://<FQDN of your server>:554/DefaultApp.sft”`
Or, if you are using RTSPS:
     `CODEBASEHREF=”RTSPS://<FQDN of your server>:322/DefaultApp.sft”`
19. Close the DefaultApp.osd file, and save the changes.
**To stream the default application**
1. On the computer that has the App-V Client installed, log on as a user who is a member of the Application Virtualization Users group specified during server installation.
2. On the desktop, the **Default Application Virtualization Application** shortcut appears. Double-click the shortcut to start the application.
3. A status bar, displayed above the Windows notification area, reports that the application is starting. If the application startup is successful, the title screen for the default application is displayed. Click **OK** to close the dialog box. You have now confirmed that the App-V system is running correctly.
