We create shotcuts in the startmenu with VM UEM, with the following options: "skip if shortcut already exists" and "Undo at logoff".
I noticed that if a pc is shutdown without normal logoff (power out etc) the shortcuts that remaine, (which is normal, because flexengine hasn't run) are not removed in the next (normal) logoff .
I looks like only shortcuts created in one logon logoff cycle are removed. Is that normal behaviour?
when we update a shortcut, with for instance an new executable, it is never distibuted if the old shortcut still resited op de PC.
Is it a better option no to select "skip if shortcut already exists" so that the shortcut is Always recreated?
Or should I run a logon script that first clears out all of the shortcuts created by flexengine?

Hi Jan_v_K,
I looks like only shortcuts created in one logon logoff cycle are removed. Is that normal behaviour?
Yes, the undo actions are only performed for items created during that session – the undo "bookkeeping" information isn't maintained across sessions, so we can't remove those shortcuts the next time around.
In this case it's probably best not to use the Skip if shortcut already exists setting, so future updates to your shortcut definitions will correctly be applied.

Please don't use log-on scripts which may impact user experience on log-on time
please Follow what UEMdev instructions....
Thank you,
Vkmr.
