  Hi, I have a scenario where  we are pushing application packages to users using SCCM at user group level. When a user needs an app, we add him to respective group and he gets the application in the app store. We are implementing App-V for VDI clients, however we have few users who will logon to both VDI and physical machine. So when user logs onto VDI he will get all the applications from SCCM which we want to block. He shall get only apps from App-v not the real MSI packages from SCCM even though he belongs to application groups. Appreciate your help Thanks sanjay
