Sims. Connect.ini

[Techdw]

Hi All,

 

We run a sims upgrade before Xmas and now noticed that when I deploy sims via Solus3 on new PC's it comes up with the message attached.

 

This used to automatically copy and take the setting from Solus, but not I cannot see a connect.ini at all in the SIMS folder on the C:

Connect.ini settings on Solus3

If I remember rightly there are several areas that need checking.

 

I think on the SIMs server there is the DRIVE/SIMs/Connect.ini and there is also a system/Connect.ini on the server. Both of them need to be checked that they contain the correct details.

 

We too have had an issue similar to you, now we 've removed that ini config appearing by making sure the above was correct. Plus all the settings in SOLUS3 are accurate, again I believe there is a few locations this info is stored. Sorry cant remember at the top of my head.

 

Find a PC that is correct/working and compare?

Shouldn't it at least copy an 'connect.ini' even if it has incorrect details?

We experienced this when we first migrated to Solus 3 during the summer 2015 update and as you experienced the connect.ini did not copy across during the update. We have since updated to autumn 2015 and had no issue afterwards but I wrote a script that checks for connect.ini being present and if not copies the connect.ini to the relevant path on the computer and created a GPO to run on shutdown.
