UE-V won't import settings

[BurgerhoutJ]

Hello,

 

I hope this is the right forum group, because I don't see a special group for UE-V.

 

At this moment I'm working to deploy Windows 10 1511.2 (1604) with SCCM, MBAM and UE-V. Everything is working fine, except one thing.

The taskbar icons are not in the default UE-V templates, so I created one XML template specially for the Windows 10 Taskbar pinned taskbar icons.

 

See below the code of the XML file.

<?xml version="1.0"?><SettingsLocationTemplate xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/UserExperienceVirtualization/2013A/SettingsLocationTemplate">  
<Name>Windows 10 Pinned Taskbar Item</Name>  
<ID>Windows-10-pinned-taskbar-item</ID>  
<Version>1</Version>  <Author>    
<Name>Jeroen Burgerhout</Name>   
</Author>     
<Processes>    <ShellProcess />  
</Processes>  <Settings>    
<File>      
<Root>        
<EnvironmentVariable>APPDATA</EnvironmentVariable>      
</Root>      <Path 
Recursive="true">Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User 
Pinned\Taskbar</Path>    </File>  
</Settings></SettingsLocationTemplate>

The export/backup is working fine, see screenshot,

but when an user logs in again with his mandatory profile, then the taskbar is back to default.

With other words, the UE-V does not import the package.

 

Can someone help me to solve this problem and give me the right solution?

 

Thanks in advance.

Jeroen,

 

Take a look at Jörgen's blog piece http://ccmexec.com/2015/12/customizing-the-taskbar-in-windows-10-during-osd/ which can be implemented via a Task Sequence. Windows 10 1607 allows for a managed XML file to achieve this rather than hacking away.

 

The solution requires a reg export to re-populate the Taskbar icons. Maybe this is what you are missing from your UE-V set up.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the info. I will soon take a look how to solve this.

I think that I have to modify the UE-V XML file to export the registry keys.

I tried to export the registry keys from the taskbar and that is working fine when the user sign out.

But after sign in, the taskbar is still default. So the UE-V package will not import.

I think it has to do with the mandatory profile. Probably the UE-V comes first and the mandatory profile as second.\

 

For now I will leave it as it is.

Thanks for the help.
