Redirecting Registry Settings to a Network Share

[Blind]

My brain is the consistency of pudding and I can't think straight enough to think this through myself.

 

I'm in a similar fix to the gentleman in this post

http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1101&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=dreamweaver+redirect&start=0

 

The difference is that we have dreamweaver 9 and it seems to be storing all the of the customizable site settings in

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\adobe\common\9

 

I can't for the life of me think how or if it is even possible to redirect this to an editable location. (like a network share)

is it the applicaion data that you want to redirect or somthing?

Couldn't you create a registry file to change the setting in the users' profiles? It could run at logon say.

Remeber to deploy the "mini" client. The msi is in a folder called "client" in the programs folder of the "full" client install.

 

(the "full" one contains a local polreg editor which you dont need

)

What is it that you need to achieve Blind?

 

If you need to override user's settings then as Ric says, you can merge a registry fragment in a logon script (it's a low tech way around the problem, but that is often the best way).

 

Example Logon Script

 

REG IMPORT "\\servername\sharename\path\AdobeSettings.reg"

 

If you are using mandatory profiles and user's settings are being lost, then you need to create a logoff script which saves the settings to their home directory. You can use the REG command to script the export and import of registry settings;

 

Examples

 

Logon script

 

REG IMPORT "H:\AdobeSettings.REG"

 

Logoff script

 

REG EXPORT "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Common\9" "H:\AdobeSettings.reg"
