Examples of configuration settings for UE-V

Here are some examples of UE-V configuration settings:

  • Settings Storage Path: Specifies the location of the file share that stores the UE-V settings.
  • Settings Template Catalog Path: Specifies the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path that defines the location that was checked for new settings location templates.
  • Register Microsoft Templates: Specifies whether the default Microsoft templates should be registered during installation.
  • Synchronization Method: Specifies whether UE-V uses the sync provider or "none". The "SyncProvider" supports computers that are disconnected from the network. "None" applies when the computer is always connected to the network. For more information about the Sync Method, see Sync Methods for UE-V.
  • Synchronization Timeout: Specifies the number of milliseconds that the computer waits before time-out when it retrieves the user settings from the settings storage location.
  • Synchronization Enable: Specifies whether the UE-V settings synchronization is enabled or disabled.
  • Maximum Package Size: Specifies a settings package file threshold size in bytes at which the UE-V service reports a warning.
  • Don't Sync Windows App Settings: Specifies that UE-V should not synchronize Windows apps.
  • Enable/Disable First Use Notification: Specifies whether UE-V displays a dialog box the first time that the UE-V service runs on a user's computer.
