You can use a dynamic configuration to customize an App-V package for a specific user. However, you must first create the dynamic user configuration (.xml) file or the dynamic deployment configuration file before you can use the files. Creation of the file is an advanced manual operation. For general information about dynamic user configuration files, see About App-V dynamic configuration.

You can create a dynamic user configuration file with the App-V Management Console by following the steps in this article.

Create a dynamic user configuration file

  1. Right-click the name of the package that you want to view and select Edit active directory access to view the configuration that is assigned to a given user group. Alternatively, select the package, and click Edit.

  2. Using the list of AD Entities with Access, select the AD group that you want to customize. Select Custom from the drop-down list. A link named Edit will appear.

  3. Select Edit. The Dynamic User Configuration assigned to the AD Group will appear.

  4. Select Advanced, and then select Export Configuration. Enter a file name and select Save. Now you can edit the file to configure a package for a user.

    Note

    If you want to export a configuration while running on Windows Server, make sure to disable the IE Enhanced Security Configuration setting. If this setting is enalbed and set to block downloads, you won't be able to download anything from the App-V Server.
