I was wondering if there is a way to trigger a refresh of the registry processing?
Scenario: ScreenSaver_Disabled_By_EndPointName
Horizon Desktops used with Wyse thin clients, with desktop roaming.
HKCU Registry is applied if the EndpointName environment variable matches a certain name/
This will disable the OS screensaver on certain Surgery PCs in the hospital.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
ISSUE: If a physician "moves" an existing VM desktop session over to this WYSE terminal, the ScreenSaveActive registry value needs to be updated. I'd like to use the Triggered Task to force the Registry processing again... unless someone has another method.
Hi JohnTwilley,
There's no really convenient way to do this, at the moment. "Re-importing" settings mid-session has the risk of overwriting settings that have changed since logon.
For this particular case, you could do something like the following:
FlexEngine.exe -r DoesNotMatter.zip -i "%UEMConfigShare%\Test.ini" can be used to process just that particular config file. As we're only interested in the predefined settings (i.e. we're not importing any profile archive), the profile archive name (the -r argument) really does not matter.
You can then run this as a custom command from a triggered task.

OK. That looks like an acceptable method...although the next Dynamic Environment Manager Admin may scratch his/her head trying to determine what's going on with that. I'll fully document!
I'll give that a try and let you know how it works out.
I figured you'd like real-world examples of the product usage, so that you know what to plan for in future versions!
Thanks again for your assistance!
Sounds good, JohnTwilley!
I definitely appreciate the real-world examples; thanks!
Just a few more notes/thoughts (I rushed my previous response a bit because I had to join a call):
Worked like a charm !
I setup the following command to run as a Custom Task on re-connection. Works great.
I've never played around with the Predefined Settings -> Settings Types before.... I guess it's time to investigate further!
FlexEngine.exe -r DynamicDEVsMatter.zip -i "%UEMConfigShare%\Windows Settings\ScreenSaverTrigger.ini
Happy to hear that it worked, and I just might have to build in some easter eggs into the DEM agent for certain profile archive names
