App-V ADM Template Now Available
Wednesday, 23 July 2008 by Michel Roth
In the good old Softricity days there were the people in the trenches like Rodney Medina who came out all dirty and injured but with really cool stuff like the ADM templates for Softgrid . No more such glory seems to possible with App-V because Microsoft has created their own ADM templates that you can download and use.

App-V (aka Softgrid 4.5) has a lot of new settings and all a lot of them are in the new ADM templates that Microsoft created just for App-V. The template focus is on registry settings that are well suited to controlling via ADM Template/Group Policy infrastructure and are the most likely to be customized. The ADM Template covers over 40 registry settings, including many of our newest features. For example, the ADM Template includes:

  • New flags that allow overriding the location configured in the Open Software Description (OSD) file for the Application Source Route (ASR), the Icon Source Root (ISR), and the OSD Source Root (OSR) with the registry value located on the client
  • New Auto Load settings including when to target apps and what will start an Auto Load
  • New Reporting Configuration options
  • New Client Logging settings like maximum log size and number of copies to keep
  • All permissions settings visible through the App Virtualization Client
  • Disconnected Operation configuration
  • Client user interface settings that control how the Tray behaves

It's available for download from Microsoft Connect.
