A direct configuration in the configuration file allows to specify the settings under which the RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager installation agent runs in a central location.

Typically, RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager administrators make use of the more intuitive Active Directory and Group Policy to achieve the same result (see MachineAlternateRegistryHive of the Alphabetical Listing of Preference Settings for Managed Devices chapter).

 

Raynet GmbH recommends to use this GlobalConfigSource functionality only on computers that do not interact with Active Directory environments. Depending on the number of managed devices referencing this file and how often each one does so, the load on the server may be an issue.

 

Is It Possible to Configure Any Preference Settings in the Configuration File?

It is possible to configure all settings that are normally read from:

[Registry]\ManageSoft\Launcher\CurrentVersion.
