Configuring a MED-V Workspace Policy

Applies To: Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization

A newer version of the Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) documentation library is now available. To view the most recent MED-V documentation library, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=167079.

The following MED-V workspace types are available:

  • Persistent—In a persistent MED-V workspace, all changes and additions the user makes to the MED-V workspace are saved in the MED-V workspace between sessions. Additionally, a persistent MED-V workspace is generally used in a domain environment.

  • Revertible—In a revertible MED-V workspace, at the completion of each session (that is, when the MED-V workspace is stopped), the MED-V workspace reverts to its original state during deployment. No changes or additions that the user made are saved on the MED-V workspace between sessions. A revertible MED-V workspace cannot be used in a domain environment.

It is important to decide on the type of MED-V workspace you are creating before deploying the MED-V workspace, because it is not recommended to reconfigure the type of MED-V workspace after a policy has been deployed to users.

Note

When configuring a policy, a warning symbol appears next to mandatory fields that are not filled in. If a mandatory field is not filled in, the symbol appears on the tab as well.
