Label Matrix Software Settings inside VDI VM

Hi Team,

We have a software called Label Matrix where they design printing labels. While accessing this software they save some settings for designing labels.

Each time the settings are wiped out and they need to save the settings again at the time of VDI vm login.

Can you suggest me an idea on this, so that I can redirect from App Data and not to wipe out this settings from this software on user exits an VDI vm.

Thanks,
Ram

Hi ramachandrankesp

Only the settings which are saved under user's appdata can be roamed. Anything which gets stored in program files is a machine based setting (not user based setting) hence can't be roamed.You need to check with application developer on how they have programmed it.

Hi Shreyskar,

Thanks. I noticed that this is not installed on a parent VM and pushed to all VDI VM's.

This software has been installed via AppStack. Is that software settings can be saved while exiting a VM through writable volumes?

OR

I need to re-install this software in parent VM and push to all VDI Vm's.

Suggestions please?

Thanks,

Ram

Hi

As long as application is saving settings in user's appdata, it can be saved in user's writable (If it is UIA+profile or profile only). Or else if you are using DEM in the environment, you can create a config file under DEM manager to save user personalized settings for this application.
