——————-Example 1——————-
Start a virtual process in a virtual environment of a package
PS C:\> $AppVObj = Get-AppvClientPackage -Name “VPackage” PS C:\> Start-AppvVirtualProcess -FilePath “C:\Calc.exe” -AppvClientObject $AppVObj
The first command gets the client package named VPackage by using the Get-AppvClientPackage cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $AppVObj variable.
The second command starts a new virtual process for Calc.exe in virtual environment of in $AppVObj.
——————-Example 2——————-
Start a virtual process in a virtual environment of a connection group
PS C:\> $AppVObj = Get-AppvClientConnectionGroup -Name VConnectionGroup
PS C:\> Start-AppvVirtualProcess -FilePath “C:\Calc.exe” -AppvClientObject $AppVObj
The first command gets the client package named VPackage by using the Get-AppvClientConnectionGroup cmdlet. The command stores the result in the $AppVObj variable.
The second command starts a new virtual process for Calc.exe in the virtual environment of in $AppVObj.
