Auto-load Session Files with Group Policies
Using the Windows Group Policy, you can establish policies across your enterprise that automatically load a specified session file each time the client is opened. During subsequent logons, Windows transfers your selected policy choices to the registry of the user or computer, where the client receives the instructions the next time it runs.
To load a session file automatically through a Group Policy
- From the command line, run Gpedit.msc.
- Set up the EXTRA! policy template in Windows (First-time use only).
The first time you set an EXTRA! group policy, you need the EXTRA! policy template. This template (Extra.adm) is included on the installation DVD and the eDelivery image. The Windows Registry retains EXTRA! policy settings so the template is not required for subsequent policy changes.
- In Group Policy, under User Configuration, right-click the Administrative Templates container and select Add/Remove Templates.
- In the Add/Remove Templates dialog box, click Add and browse to the ADM folder on the root of the EXTRA! DVD or eDelivery files.
- Select the Extra.adm file and click Open. Close the Add/Remove Templates dialog box.
- In Windows Group Policy, under User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates.
- Select the File folder.
- In the Policy pane, double-click the Auto-load an EXTRA! X-treme Session File policy.
A dialog box appears with the policy options available for that policy.
- Select the Enabled option.
- In the Name of Session field, enter the UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) or fully qualified path to the session file that you want to assign.
If you are configuring a computer policy, when the installed client starts, it will load this session.
-or-
If you are configuring a user policy, when the specified user starts EXTRA!, it will load this session.
- Click OK.
