App-V 4.5 and GPO Preferences - Does it work?
App-V 4.5 and GPO Preferences - Does it work?
- Hello,
We are using App-V 4.5 in our TS-enviroment and are also using GPO Preferences (CSE). We are having some trouble now though, we have setup a GPO Preference that is supposed to remove a reg-value under HKCU-hive. This reg-value is not removed in the virtual register though.
I've bing'ed the net and only article I found with relevance was:
http://blogs.technet.com/softgrid/archive/2009/04/23/some-insight-into-how-softgrid-and-app-v-4-5-handle-group-policies.aspx
And that post does not mention GPO Preferences.
Anyone know if/how GPO Prefercens work with App-V?

If you use a GP Preference, it is written to the actual machine/user registry of the machine.
If the virtual app package contains a registry setting for the same thing, the SFT setting will be seen.
If the user in the course of running the virtual app sets the same thing, that setting will win.
This is not inconsistent with native behaviour, where you set a registry via GPP and the user can change it anyway.
You can make the app registry work like a mandatory profile using the OSD. On each launch of the virtual app the setting is reset. This can be done as a PRE LAUNCH PROTECT=TRUE script, or setting directly in the OSD. OSD always wins when it comes to registry preferences.- Помечено в качестве ответаJonas_Bson 30 ноября 2009 г. 16:27

Hello,
Group Policy = HKLM(or HKCU)\Software\Policies (well, simplified...)
Group Policy Preference = Anywhere else
Group Policy can never be virtualized.
Actually, preference is just a method to set a registry value - it doesn't hinder you from setting a policy value.
/Znack- Hello Znack,
Thank you for your answer, however it does not answer my question.
I want to know if GP Preferences is supposed to work inside the App-V bubble, for example delete a regvalue in the virtual registry that I have specified in my GPP.
The article I linked in my first post says that normal GPO's are no problem in App-V bubbles but it says nothing about GPP's.
Regards
Jonas - Hello,
Well - that depends. A Group Policy can never be virtualized, but since a GPP is any other registry key - it surely can. If the value does exist in your virtual environment it will provide an override as to what the registry on the client says.
GPP is nothing more than keys and files....
/Znack Ok,
Thanks, if I understand correctly:
We can manage settings in App-V bubbles with regular policies, however we can not manage any settings in the bubbles using GPP?
Do you know if there is any other way to manipulate the virtual registry automatically and centrally, or are we forced to resequence the applications where we want to remove/add a specific regvalue?
Regards
Jonas
