Post-Logon Task

[cbaptiste]

Is there a way to create a post logon task with UEM? I want to import all IE and Outlook configurations when the user is at the desktop but not during the logon process.

For these I generally place a shortcut to a script in the startup folder in the start menu. This applies of the very last step of logon I believe, usually the user sees the desktop for a few seconds before this happens. You would have to get creative if you want to hide the cmd windows if you don't want the users to see them, I've used a vbs script to run these before.

When the script runs, how does it gets implemented into UEM to tell it to import the settings?

For the scripts that you want to delay till after logon I have the script download to the userprofile and then create the shortcut in the startup folder. These are both in the user enviornment part. For what you want to do it may be better to do with directflex, I've never actually confirmed this, but I think when this enabled they aren't imported on logon(just as the link and image below say)

Hi cbaptiste,

As sjesse suggested, DirectFlex might be a better option, as that will import the settings once the user launches an application. That won't work for IE settings, as those should really be imported at logon given the extent to which IE is integrated into Windows, but the same would apply to your post logon task approach.
