      Native & Full Infrastructure SCCM 2012 Ø         Setting dependency to other virtual applications is done through Connection group. Connection group is achieved through creating virtual environments  in the SCCM console. Ø         Connection groups can be published either globally or to user. Virtual Environments are published globally to the system alone. Ø         Connection groups can contain a mixture of both user and globally targeted packages. It cannot contain a mixture of both user and globally targeted packages. SCCM 2012 will only deliver connection groups if all member packages are targeted to either user or machine exclusively.

User settings from a connection group member packages will not be transferred to its Connection Groups. Similarly, once the Connection Group is disabled, user settings from the Connection Group will not be transferred to its member packages.

This is because user settings will not be transferred to the connection group. 8. ...

Full infrastructure SCCM Connection Groups have to be explicitly published to a target. Only the App-V application sequences have to be distributed to a target. Connection groups are automatically created if a Virtual Environment (VE) is applicable. All App-V sequences in a connection group are available on the target that the connection group has been published to regardless of whether or not the separate sequences have been published to the target. The ability to create ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ VE’s. In the case of an ‘AND’ VE the connection group will be created only when all sequences in the connection group have been distributed to the target. In the case of an ‘OR’ VE the connection group will be created with only the sequences that have been distributed to the target. Connection group priority can be set at the server console.(Although this does not work with App-V 5 Sp1 due to a bug. This bug has been fixed in Hotfix 1 for App-V 5.0 SP1 Management Server...
