Prefered way of changing settings in RDM
Hi everyone,
We want to deploy RDM from a chocolatey package, this already works and now we would like to know the prefered way of setting a default data source and changing some settings without touching every computer. It would be a seperate package and could be a script or changing a file.
Best Regards
Richard

Hello,
I would recommend using our Custom Installer Service to create you own .exe or .msi with the appropriate data source configured inside the package.
Then, it would be possible for you to distribute RDM with the appropriate data source configuration.
Make sure to don't deploy RDM with your own credential to authenticate on the data source.
For more information on that feature, please consult https://helpcloud.devolutions.net/custominstaller_introduction.htm

Hello,
We tested the custom Installer, but if I understand that correctly we would need to create a new installer for every update. Which is not exactly what we are searching, since we already have a way which is automated to install RDM on the machines and keeping it up to date.
We would need something that we can put in a custom choco package and never have to change again. (except we change anything in our network)
Best regards,

Hello,
The custom installer is used only to deploy RDM on workstation that RDM was never installed, because the .exe or .msi created by the custom installer will include the configuration. If RDM is already installed on the computer, no need of the custom installer. You just need to install RDM without any specific configuration since the configuration is already present on the machine.
