How can we manage to update the HOST adresse for all our user Data Source profile? The DB name will not change but we plan to move the DB on a new server (HOST) and wich to avoid create an alias.

Is there a place in the config file we could push by script or sccm - or other.

Thanks

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your reply,

You could create a Custom Installer Package with the new data source configuration included:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/installation/client/custom-installer-service/

You could then deploy this new package using SCCM.

Alternatively, you could create an export of the new data source configuration and have the users import it:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/data-sources/import-export/

Let me know if this helps,

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply.

Does a Custom Installer Package will wipe current user personal setting and entry manually created in RDM?

Any risque or drawback?

Thanks

Does only the DataSurce will be change if they select lose mine. Also, is there a way to not give this prompt to user and inject the new datasource?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

It will replace their configuration file with the one provided, If they have multiple data sources currently configured the other will be removed,

The custom installer package will also include the configuration you have under "File" -> "Settings".

This can be enforced using the "Use new configuration" option when generating the package or using GPOs
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/installation/client/custom-installer-service/option-selection/
