Group Policy or Customize Settings for all

Hi,
This topic will show you where we store the config file:

http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/confoguration_file_location.htm

Maybe you could create a small script to copy the config if it does not exist?

To bring back life to an old question.. Let me explain why this would be awesome for our company.

At the moment, we have five servers with RemoteDesktopManager installed. Three of them uses the same SQL Server to store the information, the other two servers have their own SQL. All of these five servers reside in the same AD.

We have about 50 technicians working from this solution, and the reason for five servers are mainly due to colliding IP networks and some compliance framework that needs to be followed.

If we could distribute program settings either via SQL or via GPO, this would make it a lot easier for us to distribute changes to all of these users. In worse case, we could have 5*50 different settings which. We want the users to be able to customize some settings, but there should be global settings and permissions that take priority over the local settings.

Say for example that we want to change a setting for all users, then we would either need to write an application that edits all 250 different config files or just make a script that erases all config files and replaces them with a brand new one.

Taking the above into considerations, it would be awesome if we could distribute some settings via GPO.

Hi,
Thank you for the excellent post. I have few ideas how we could achieve that and I will enter a feature request.

Hi,

Any updates on this? :)

Hi Andreas,
Have you installed RDM 10.1.4? We now deploy an admx file with many new policies. Let me know if you need another one.

Hi,

Just upgraded and had a look at the ADMX-file. Looks promising, but I would like to have the option to set a fixed database for users and prevent them from adding any other sources.

If possible, also the option to add the license via GPO so we always make sure users have the correct license added.

Thanks!

Hi,
I will add the policy to disable the data source add. However for the serial number you can already set it in the data source settings located in Administration->Data Source Settings

Hi,

Do you have any plans to implement those features in ADMX files?
- User Interface/Tree view
- User Interface/Keyboard

Thanks

What do you mean by User Interface?

I mean being able to customize preferences in user interface/tree view and keyboard shortcut by using the ADMX files.

For exemple, in our organization, we have 10 users that uses Remote Desktop Manager and we all have to select those option at installation:
- Disable entry drag-and-drop (prevent mouse operation mistakes)
- Enable Merge credential list with sessions

On the keyboard side, we disable CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT/UP/DOWN/RIGHT shortcut because if we try to select a text block inside an RDP session, the RDM catch de shortcut.

I could easily do those:

- Disable entry drag-and-drop (prevent mouse operation mistakes)
- Enable Merge credential list with sessions

The shortcut will be harder to add.

Wow, it would be very nice.

Let me know when the new ADMX is available!

Hello,

There will be new policies for these two features in the next version of RDM (not 11.0.9.0, but the one after that).

Regards,

Allright thank you very much for your prompt response.
