Creating an Automatically Loading Configuration File

Profile Mode

If you want to deliver BlueZone to your End Users with one or more pre-configured BlueZone Profiles, all you have to do is create the desired number of BlueZone Profiles (configuration files), and copy them to the BlueZone Distribution Image.

When your End Users perform the BlueZone installation, BlueZone will automatically copy any Profiles into the End User’s BlueZone\Config folder.

If you are using BlueZone Session Manager, the BlueZone Profiles you created will automatically appear in the Session Manager the first time it is launched.

If you are not using Session Manager, and the End User is launching BlueZone from Program Files or from a desktop icon, the profiles will automatically appear in the Select or Create New Profile dialog box that displays when a BlueZone client is launched.

TIP  This feature also works for BlueZone script files as well.  Just add your script files to the distribution image.

Registry Mode

A START, Sx or SxLOCK file is automatically loaded the first time BlueZone is launched or if no valid configuration information is found in the Registry.  This feature allows a System Administrator to configure one copy of BlueZone, save the configuration to a file, and load it on any system automatically by including the START,  Sx , or SxLock file on the distribution diskette.  An exact duplicate of the original configuration will be loaded the first time the new copy of BlueZone is launched.  Use the File:Save As command to create the configuration file.

The following Table shows START files and their associated BlueZone Emulation Clients.

CAUTION!  START files must be in the same directory as the BlueZone program being executed to function properly.  DO NOT place them into the Configs directory.

NOTE  SxLOCK files load automatically from the file every time the corresponding BlueZone session is launched.  Its primary purpose it to allow the reconfiguration of sessions locked using the Global Lock function.

SEE  Saving & Opening Configurations in Chapter 5 Configuring BlueZone for additional information.
