"Reset Applikation to default" did not work for me

Hello, I have a UEM environment 9.3 and use Horizon Ver 7.3.2 with Instant Clone and Mandatory Profiles. When a user logs on for the first time, profile data is stored properly. But if I reset an application (in my example the settings for the "Ineternet Explorer" to default) will be stored in future applications of the user no more profile data. Even if I want to import the backup from a certain point in time, they will be reset and will not be recreated in the future.

The message "Config file is marked as mandatory - skipping export" appears in the log. How and where can I pick up this mark?

Thanks for support

Andreas

Hi burgerking68,

The Config file is marked as mandatory -- skipping export message appears if predefined settings of type Fully Enforced are configured for that Flex config file:

Could that be the reason in your case?

If not, could you post the Flex config file here so we can take a look?

Great, glad to hear that!

For UEM 9.4, I've changed the log message to Config file has fully enforced predefined settings -- skipping export, which is hopefully a bit clearer. (Fully Enforced settings used to be called Mandatory settings, but the log message had not been changed to reflect that.)

Hi There, I had the same Question with UEM 9.1 on Windows 7.

We want to deploy links:

... and we have many users who dont get the links, could this be the problem:

2018-02-01 16:27:39.573 [INFO ] Config file is marked as mandatory -- skipping export.

Thanks from Austria.

Hi system32AUT,

This is a bit different than the problem from the beginning of this thread, but let's see what we can figure out.

Are there any conditions configured, either on the Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links.INI Flex config file itself, or on the Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links predefined settings? Can you share a FlexEngine log file (at log level DEBUG) of the full session for a user who is not receiving the shortcuts?

Hi UEMdev (quick answer, thanks)

Well... the *.ini :

PredefinedSettings=<predefined><setting t="m" n="Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links" l="Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links" i="1" /></predefined>

ProcessCriteria=<pc ll="1" t="3" f="0"><member g="LKSDOM21\RZ-Dienste-Alex-CDK" c="u" s="S-1-5-21-removed for Data protection" /></pc>

[Information]

Title = Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links

Description = Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links

[Immidio Flex]

This file was created using VMware UEM Management Console version 9.1.0.175.

Use only with VMware UEM.

And yes we have Conditions but one Step before there:

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for the extensive information.

OK, so only users in the LKSDOM21\RZ-Dienste-Alex-CDK group will get those settings, but from the log it's clear that that is not the issue here.

I'm afraid I have no clue at the moment... Does this always affect the same users, and – if so – does it never work for those users?

Other Users dont get the links.... Maybe a Problem with existing Users and the "fully enforced" flag ?

Kind regards,

as far as I know at the moment we have a 50/50 change that a user gets the link and the other not. We have arround 5000 users...

But does a user who doesn't get the link never get it, and does a user who does get the link always get it? Note that I would not know what to do with the answer to that question – just curious...

Other Users dont get the links.... Maybe a Problem with existing Users and the "fully enforced" flag ?

Fully enforced basically means that we apply this always, without checking for anything (apart from the conditions, of course). Which is what makes this so weird.

Apart from the Desktop, Favorites, and Personal folders, do you have any other folders redirected?

For a user who does not get the links, could you run the following command inside that user's session?

     "C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" -r "\\UEMConfig-server\UEMConfig$\Bitfactory Alex Dienstplan CDK Links-UEM-PD-#1.zip"

After running that, do the links show up? If they don't, can you run the same command again, but now with ProcMon.exe running, to see exactly what happened to those files from the predefined settings zip?

Hi Dev! Thanks for asking and I´m sorry for beeing late with my respond but nothing new... Nobody called me ever again, seems ok now, maybe a Fragment or artifact in an IT Environment with about 5000 users +  Smiley Happy

Thanks anyway, if something new I post it here.
