Creating an App-V Server Virtual Environment
AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | Application Manager
App-V Server virtual environments are called connection groups. Connection groups contain the name of groups that a package is associated with. You can create or edit a connection group using the App-V Server Connection Groups dialog box, which can be opened using either of these methods:
|
•
|
From the ribbon—On the Application Manager Home tab, click App-V Virtual Environments > App-V Server Environment in the ribbon. |
|
•
|
From the Home Deployment Type View—With the Application Catalog Home tab selected, select an App-V 5.0 package in the tree to open the Home Deployment Type View. Then open the App-V Deployment Data > Advanced Settings tab and click in the Connection Group field. |
To create an App-V Server connection group for App-V 5.0 packages, perform the following steps:
