I got this to work after support ticket with vmware, you don't manipulate the master image for UIA's. Documentation seems to contradict itself, but if you go to https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-App-Volumes/2103/app-volumes-admin-guide/GUID-BD9D1BF7-293A-491E-A...it does say "Note:There is no support for adding custom configuration files to Writable Volumes on the base image."

You need to do it at the volume "C:\SnapVolumesTemp\MountPoints\{Writable Volume Guid}\{Writable Guid}\Config\writable"

My config looks like

"

writable_type=uia

 

################################################################

# File system

################################################################

 

virtualize=\

 

################################################################

# Registry

################################################################

 

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\COMPONENTS

exclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM

exclude_uwv_file=%USERPROFILE%

exclude_path=\ProgramData

exclude_path=\"Program Files"

exclude_path=\"Program Files (x86)"

exclude_path=\Users

exclude_path=\Windows

 

# This should always be the last line in the policy

os=any"

 

You'll have to create the config and writable folders, then create your snapvol.cfg inside with config like the above. This only applies to that 1 volume. So if you want to apply it to all the UIA's, zip up that config folder and upload it to all writeables using the AppVol admin console
