Detailed Description

The New-BrokerApplicationGroup cmdlet creates a new application group. Applications that are added to the application group can then be managed centrally by setting properties on the application group rather than on each application individually.

Application groups may also be used to isolate applications that should not share sessions with other applications. To do this, create an application group with SessionSharingEnabled equal to $false, and then add to it those applications that you wish to isolate. The isolated applications continue to share sessions with each other, but not with any other published applications.

To create a new application and add it to an application group, use New-BrokerApplication -ApplicationGroup. To add an existing application to an application group, use Add-BrokerApplication -ApplicationGroup.

After adding applications to an application group, you must then publish the application group to a desktop group before its applications can be launched. Use the Add-BrokerApplicationGroup cmdlet to do this.

To manipulate the user filter associated with an application group, use Add-BrokerUser -ApplicationGroup and Remove-BrokerUser -ApplicationGroup.

To manipulate the set of tags associated with an application group, use Add-BrokerTag -ApplicationGroup and Remove-BrokerTag -ApplicationGroup.

See about_Broker_Applications for more information.
