Getting Started With User Experience Virtualization 1.0
Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) captures and centralizes application settings and Windows operating system settings for the user. These settings are then applied to the different computers that are accessed by the user, including desktop computers, laptop computers, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) sessions.
UE-V offers settings synchronization for common Microsoft applications and Windows settings. It also delivers user settings at any time to wherever users work throughout the enterprise. UE-V allows administrators to specify which application settings and Windows settings roam. UE-V helps administrators to create custom settings location templates for third-party or line-of-business applications that are used in the enterprise.
User Experience Virtualization delivers an enhanced user state virtualization experience. It provides consistent personalization of the user’s settings in the following scenarios:
Roaming user application and Windows settings between computers.
Roaming user settings between the instances of an application that are deployed by using different methods:
Installed applications
Application Virtualization (App-V) sequenced applications
RemoteApp (Remote Desktop Virtualization) applications
Recovering settings for a computer after replacement, hardware upgrade, or reimage.
