Syntax

New-CMAppVVirtualEnvironment
   -ApplicationGroup <VirtualEnvironmentGroup[]>

Description

The New-CMAppVVirtualEnvironment cmdlet creates an Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) virtual environment in Configuration Manager. App-V virtual environments in Configuration Manager enable deployed virtual applications to share the same file system and registry on client computers.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Create an App-V virtual environment

PS XYZ:\> $Dti = Get-CMAppV5XDeploymentTypeItem -ApplicationName "App01d2012" -DeploymentTypeName "7Zip - Microsoft Application Virtualization 5"
PS XYZ:\> $Veg = New-CMVirtualEnvironmentGroup -Name "Venvgroup01" -DeploymentType $Dti
PS XYZ:\> New-CMAppVVirtualEnvironment -Name "CMAppVenv01" -Description "App-V virtual environment" -ApplicationGroup $Veg

This first command uses the Get-CMAppV5XDeploymentTypeItem cmdlet gets the deployment type named 7Zip - Microsoft Application Virtualization 5 in the application named App01d2012. The command stores the result in the $Dti variable.

This second command creates an application group named Venvgroup01 for the deployment type stored in $Dti. The command stores the result in the $Veg variable.

This third command creates an App-V virtual environment named CMAppVenv01 for the application group stored in $Veg.
