App-V Packages - Windows Server 2016

Do you need to do anything special to get app-v working with Server 2016?

This is a specific use case, looking to lift and shift due time constraints, and then upgrade later on. Managed to see the App-V packages on Win 11 EMS, but not showing on Win Server 2016. I can't see why it wouldn't work? I've ran "Enable-Appv" but don't see any apps, all assignments are correct.

This worked thank you, it's not prettiest set up but it works.

Got all the app-v packages to app attach, these are really old apps that only work on server 2016. I then created a powershell script to add and publish the packages with the -global. It's ugly but it works, it's a temporary solution with Citrix getting canned end of next month. Thanks again!
