App-V Register and Refresh Server

App-V client needs to be configured to use a specific App-V Server to be able to see all the published application of the user logged in. To do this, you can either specify the server during the App-V client installation or using command line.

To use command line, I used the following method:

Enable user to manage server
Create a GPP for a computer that modifies the following registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\Permissions\ManageServers
set the value to 1

Add the server
Create a GPP for a user that executes the following command:

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client\sftmime.com" ADD SERVER: /HOST: /TYPE:rstp

Refresh Application
Create a GPP for a user that executes the following command:

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Application Virtualization Client\sftmime.com" REFRESH SERVER:
