Managing MED-V Workspace Settings by Using a WMI
You can use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) 2.0 to manage your current configuration settings.
To manage MED-V workspace settings with a WMI
A WMI browsing tool lets you view and edit the settings in a MED-V workspace. The WMI provider is implemented by using the WMI Provider Extension framework from the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5.
The WMI provider is implemented in the root\microsoft\medv namespace and implements the class Setting. The class Setting contains properties that correspond to the settings in the system registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Medv registry key.
Caution WMI browsing tools can be used to delete or modify classes and instances. Deleting or modifying certain classes and instances can result in the loss of valuable data and cause MED-V to function unpredictably.
You can use your preferred WMI browsing tool to view and edit MED-V configuration settings by following these steps.
Open your preferred WMI browsing tool with administrator permissions.
Connect to the namespace root\microsoft\medv.
Enumerate the instances to connect to the running instance. You want to connect to the instance of the class Setting.
An Object Editor window opens. The MED-V configuration settings are listed as Properties.
Perform the following steps to edit a MED-V configuration setting in the WMI.
In the list of Properties on the Object Editor window, double-click the name of the configuration setting you want to edit. For example, to edit MED-V URL redirection information, double-click the property UxRedirectUrls.
A Property Editor window opens.
Edit the value to update the configuration information. For example, to edit MED-V URL redirection information, add or remove a web address in the list.
Save the updated property settings.
After you have finished viewing or editing MED-V configuration settings, close the WMI browsing tool.
Important In some cases, a restart of the MED-V workspace is required for changes to MED-V configuration settings to take effect.
The following code shows the Managed Object Format (MOF) file that defines the Setting class.
[dynamic: ToInstance, provider("TroubleShooting, Version=2.0.392.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"), singleton: DisableOverride ToInstance ToSubClass]
class Setting : ConfigValueProvider
{
boolean UxSmartCardLogonEnabled = TRUE;
[read] string User;
[implemented] void Clear([in] string propertyName);
};
The Setting class inherits from the ConfigValueProvider class. The following code shows the Managed Object Format (MOF) file that defines the ConfigValueProvider class.
