Overview

Configuration of the UTS is primarily composed of scripts, registry variables, environment variables, text files and operating system configuration

The GSW Configuration Tool allows the use of a graphical user interface to set configuration parameters that reside in the registry in addition to creation of folders, scripts and the modification of UTS environment variables. Additionally the GSW Configuration Tool provides access to text file configurations via notepad.exe.

The UTS Configuration Tool is organized based on either Global or Per Session configuration items.

Global – per system configuration modifies the registry variables or allows editing of text files used for provisioning the UTS. These text files and registry variables are configuration items that are UTS wide in nature and apply to all UTS Users.

User – per session configuration sets environment variables or allows editing of text and batch files used for provisioning the UTS on a per session basis.

Both Global and User configurations provide the capability to create templates. Templates allow the administrator to create configurations and save with names of their choosing. The administrator may want certain configurations for specific locations, departments, users or circumstances.  The saved configuration can simply be copied to the Global Active Configuration (in the per system case) or to the specific User configuration (in the Per User case) when needed. There is no need to reconfigure from scratch or remember all the details each time.

Default configurations can be applied to

• All Users (All Domains, Domain Names, Local Users)
• All Domains
• All Users in a Domain Name
• All Local Users

The administrator can define a default configuration at none, some or all of the objects listed above. If a configuration does not exist for a specific user then the “configuration tree” is traversed to determine if a default configuration exists. The administrator can set a few default configurations for most users and then have specific configurations for specific cases. This minimizes the configuration required and ensures that the proper configuration is used.
