The issue of pinned items I'll leave for Ivan and Pim to address , as they have way more experience with tweaking .INI settings. I'm afraid that there's no good answer for dealing with scenarios where settings randomly do not persist, other than checking the log file for clues around the time the issue occurs. I also checked the log file you attached to update #19, and just like Ivan and Pim already stated, pretty much everything seems to work fine. I have a few minor notes and comments, but none of the issues I highlight below will result in settings not persisting... 2017-05-09 13:34:36.660 [DEBUG] Logging to file '\\...\uemprofiles\...\logs' Not a problem at all, but unlike the Flex config files path and the profile archive path settings (which should point to a folder), the log file path should include a file name. With this configuration, you'll end up with a log file called "logs". Again, not a technical problem, but probably easier to specify something like \\...\uemprofiles\...\logs\FlexEngine.log instead. 2017-05-09 13:34:37.207 [ERROR] AdmxActions: Invalid <Key> 'Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\zzz.SafeSend' ('SafeSend.xml')[/SafeSend Email Security for Outlook][Enabled] ADMX-based settings only support actual policies, that is, settings that live under HKCU\Software\Policies\... registry locations. Settings under the non-policy HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\... location can be managed through UEM "Registry Settings" instead. I'm surprised to see that the UEM Management Console allowed the creation of the SafeSend.xml config file based on this ADMX template. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. 2017-05-09 13:34:51.606 [DEBUG] ImportRegistry::Import: Calling '"C:\Windows\REGEDIT.EXE" /S "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\FLX7125.tmp"' (RPAL: l=0 (D/E), r=0) 2017-05-09 13:34:55.356 [DEBUG] Read 1 entry from profile archive (size: 2590110; compressed: 218070) Regedit.exe needing nearly 4 seconds to import a .REG file is rather slow (even though the file is 2.5 megabytes), so Pim's remark about antivirus settings is definitely something to check from a performance perspective. 2017-05-09 13:34:56.883 [DEBUG] Running post-import task asynchronously ('"C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" -UemRefreshshortcuts') ('UEM-Refresh.xml') Any particular reason why you're launching this at the end of the path-based import? The shortcuts have just been processed (actually, 10 of them are still scheduled to be created asynchronously), so this refresh will probably not achieve much (under most circumstances this will just result in an "Async UEM actions or UEM Refresh in progress" error message in the log file (actually, most probably in a "-1" log file, as the main log file will be in use)).
