VMWARE APPVOLUME IBM AUTOUPDATE DISABLE ISSUE

i need to disable the auto update for the application IBM PROBLEM DETERMINATION STUDIO .

created an appstack and there i disabled the auto update manually [enabled=false] for the ibm application where the udpate file is under c:\programfiles(x86)\IBM\P2\.........

After creating the appstack i tested the application in a clean provisiond test machine there the application is working fine as the auto update in shortcut has been disabled.

but after attaching the appstack in our uat machine for testing the application the autoupdate is still enabled.

disabled in normal test machine but still enabled in UAT test machines.

Kinldy advise to fix the issue.

I don't know much about that software but certain software also have an update service associated with an application. Can you check the services to see if there is an IBM update service for example? If there's one, i recommend stopping and disabling the service while provisioning the application.

If you have UEM/DEM maybe you could enforce disabling auto update.

Could it be that you have a writable volume attached where this setting is different? If so it will overwrite the information within the appstack. Maybe a different appstack attached with the exact same setting??
