Flex config files - local

Currently we have a relatively slow login time of 13 seconds only for VMware DEM. During the analysis, we were able to bring the login time down to 8 seconds using conditions on the respective
Settings.
As a test, we then copied the entire "Flex config files" share locally to C:\Temp\VMwareDEM\general and switched the GPO "Flex config file" to this path. Is a local Configuration directory supported by VMware DEM? This gives us a login time of 2.8 seconds for VMware DEM.

Is this supported?

Hi @tschuegy,

That's fine as far as the DEM agent is concerned. Just be aware that depending on where that folder is located (and/or how you have managed ACLs) your end user might be able to add/remove/change settings, which would allow them to run executables with elevation, circumvent application blocking and Group Policy-based restrictions, et cetera.

@DEMdev Thx for your reply.  I be aware for the ACLs. I'm mirroring the hole directory from the central share with acls (robocopy /mir /sec).
