Additional configuration for the user profile when installing on Terminal Services.
PM8: All versions
Normally PM8 stores all user settings in the Local profile.
When installing on Terminal Services or other such environments you may, depending on the Terminal Services configuration, observe that user settings are not preserved.
If the Windows Local profile is not preserved by the Terminal Services environment you must reconfigure PM8 to use the Roaming profile.
C:\ProgramData\WH Software\PM8\PM8.ini
This is the shared INI, not the user specific one. Like all configuration files, exercise caution to ensure you do no damage.
[Local Options]. If the heading does not exist, then add it on a new line at the end of the file[Local Options] line add a new line and on that line put this: UseRoaming=1The final result is the 2 lines will look like this:
[Local Options]
UseRoaming=1
When PM8 runs, it reads C:\ProgramData\WH Software\PM8\PM8.ini to determine the database server location, and it also looks for the setting described above.
If PM8 finds the setting UseRoaming=1 then the user INI file is read from and written to:
%APPDATA%\WH Software\PM8\PM8.INI
Instead of:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\WH Software\PM8\PM8.INI
