How Do I Publish an App to a Specific Server (1 server for example) in XenApp 7.15

I am moving from XenApp 6.5 to XenApp 7.15 and publishing my applications. I think i have figured out the Delivery Groups and Application Groups, but not sure how to publish an application to 1 specific server. We do this sometimes for applications that are only installed on a couple of servers in the farm vs all or for one specific to be used for Troubleshooting purposes.

I found an old post regarding using Tags to do this but don't really see how to apply that properly. And didn't seem to be a resolved question.

So how do I duplicate this kind of Published App in 7.15?

Thanks in advance.

You have to use "Tag restrictions".
See: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/manage-deployment/tags.html

Add a tag to the specific machines (machine catalogue), add them to a delivery group, now you can create an application group and in the properties you can specify the machine tag to restrict what server can launch the appliation(s) in the application group.

Only the machines with the matching tag in the delivery group will launch the application in the application group.

Thanks, I've seen the how to manage tags and apply to an Application Group. I am not seeing options to assign to an individual server within the machine catalog or delivery group. So how do you tie the tag to the actual server?
