Follow these steps to change system environment variables across your fleet instances.
To change system environment variables on an image builder
This procedure applies only to system environment variables, not user environment variables. To change user environment variables that persist across your fleet instances, perform the steps in the next procedure.
-
Connect to the image builder on which to change system environment variables and sign in with an account that has local administrator permissions. To do so, do either of the following:
-
Use the AppStream 2.0 console (for web connections only)
-
Create a streaming URL (for web or AppStream 2.0 client connections)
Note
If the image builder that you want to connect to is joined to an Active Directory domain and your organization requires smart card sign in, you must create a streaming URL and use the AppStream 2.0 client for the connection. For information about smart card sign in, see Smart Cards.
-
-
Choose the Windows Start button, open the context (right-click) menu for Computer, and then choose Properties.
-
In the navigation pane, choose Advanced system settings.
-
In System variables, change the environment variables that you want to persist across your fleet instances, and then choose OK.
-
On the image builder desktop, open Image Assistant.
-
Follow the necessary steps in Image Assistant to finish creating your image. For more information, see Tutorial: Create a Custom AppStream 2.0 Image by Using the AppStream 2.0 Console.
The changes to the system environment variables persist across your fleet instances and are available to streaming sessions launched from those instances.
Note
Setting AWS CLI credentials as system environment variables might prevent AppStream 2.0 from creating the image.
