Deploying Client Settings for 9.2 and Earlier

When deploying exacqVision Client installations there are no client settings deployed with the act of installation. In certain network environments it is desirable for system or network admins to wish to deploy settings such as the server addresses and login credentials to Client users. While settings such as this aren’t included with the installation it is possible to manually deploy these settings.

The exacqVision Client saves its settings in an encrypted file titled “edvrclient”. These settings include things such as exacqVision server addresses, server login credentials, and the last view seen when the Client was last closed. To deploy such settings to other users on your network you first must open an instance of the exacqVision client and connect to the desired exacqVision Servers on the Add Systems page. Make any other desired Client-side settings and close the exacqVision Client instance. When closed the edvrclient file is updated with these changes.

Client settings are made per user so it is appropriately located within each user account.

On Windows machines this location is C:\Users\useraccount\edvrclient.ini

On Linux machines this location is /home/useraccount/.edvrclient

Copy the edvrclient file from the user account where you made your changes to the corresponding location for users on each machine they use. This can be accomplished using simple GUI copy and paste, using specialized third-party deployment software, or through various scripting methods. If your users may move between machines and may use a workstation they previously had no user account you will need to create a script that copies this edvrclient file when their user account profile is created on that machine.

Exacq Technologies does not support helping you create scripts or the use of third-party software to deploy these edvrclient files.
