App-V Management Server Configuration
Right-click the App-V Server Conf directory, Click properties, click security, and then complete the following actions:
· Give read access to the system user; this can be any user as long as that particular user is the user running the service
· Give full control access to the local administrator group to the domain admins group to which you assign App-V administrator privileges
· Remove all other named users.
You are now ready to test the basic functionality of the platform by launching the Default Application on a Microsoft Application Virtualization Client. The Default Application was automatically installed during Microsoft Application Virtualization platform installation.
Perform the following on the App-V Management Server:
1. Click Start | Administrative Tools | Application Virtualization Management Console.
The App-V Management Console is installed on the App-V Server by default. In a production environment, you can install the Management Console on any system capable of running MMC.
2. In the App-V Management Console, click Actions | Connect to Application Virtualization System.
3. In the Configure Connection dialog box (see Figure), click to deselect the User Secure Connection checkbox.
4. In the Web Service Host Name field, type the FQDN of your management server, and then click OK.
Note: You can also use “localhost” for the Web Service Host Name.
