Configuring the Company Settings Center for UE-V 2.1 SP1

  • Artikkeli

Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.1 SP1 includes a new application, the Company Settings Center, which helps users manage settings to synchronize. The Company Settings Center is installed by using the UE-V Agent. Users access the Company Settings Center in Control Panel, in the Start menu or on the Start screen, and via the UE-V notification area icon. Company Settings Center displays which settings are synchronized and helps users see the synchronization status of UE-V. Users can use the Company Settings Center to select which applications or Windows features synchronize their settings between computers. They can also select the Sync Now button to synchronize all settings immediately. The administrator can also include a link for support in the Company Settings Center.
