Inputs

Microsoft.AppvAgent.AppvClientConfiguration

Outputs

Microsoft.AppvAgent.AppvClientConfiguration

The object is displayed as a two column table. The first column contains the specific configuration and the second column contains the associated current value.

In the case where the name/value option is passed, the cmdlet returns the same two column table, but only for the configuration requested.

Notes

  • Before applying new configuration, the cmdlet checks if Group Policy already owns any configuration by checking HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Application Virtualization. If any of the provided configuration is in the GP registry node, the cmdlet fail.s If GP does not own any of the supplied configuration, the settings are written to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV registry node. If the cmdlet is attempting to modify multiple settings, if any are owned by GP, the entire operation fails.
  • In the case where GP owns the setting, the cmdlet returns the following error: The App-V configuration trying to be modified is being managed by Group Policy. The cmdlet cannot perform the modification. An error code is returned.
  • If any of the provided configuration are not valid App-V Client settings, the cmdlet fails and returns an error.
  • The cmdlet checks that you have permissions to perform the specific action. If not, the cmdlet returns an error.
  • If the action to set a property fails, the cmdlet returns an error.
