Pre configure app settings?

Is it possible to configure app settings in an AppStack prior to deploying to users. I understand that you can create writable volumes for the user to save their configurations to, but i am wanting to set some things so the user does not have to.

example: I want to create an AppStack for Firefox with a certificate already imported to allow filtering though our departments web-sense security application. If i import this into Firefox and then capture the AppStack this certificate is gone when i apply the AppStack to a VM.

thanks

We use Active Setup. A Windows functionality perfect for Appstacks. All you need is an installation routine, a script, something repackaged etc. We use matrix42 Empirum. So a call to setup.exe and setup.inf , where we create through the setup.inf registry keys and copy configuration files.

Anything that would be stored as part of a users profile will not be captured. Ensure the configuration settings are for the system and or app specifically and not tied to the user in any way and you should be good. Other option would be to use a UEM solution like Immidio to cover the user specific data.
