How to configure the client to receive package and connection groups updates from the publishing server

[!INCLUDE Applies to Windows client versions]

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 and How to create a connection group.

  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:

    Add-AppvPublishingServer -Name ABC -URL https://MyPubSrv/AppvPublishing
    

    This command will configure the specified publishing server. You should see output similar to the following:

    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:

    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.
