Managing Preferences
You can use the Managed Preferences folder to customize how application preferences and
system preferences are handled to meet your particular needs and goals. For example, you
can make sure that users always start out with a specific set of preferences or that some user-
set preferences are never overridden.
A Managed Preferences folder is created on the workgroup data volume the first time any
member of a workgroup logs in. Inside this folder are either two or three (initially empty)
additional preference folders, depending on the client operating system:
Using Initial Preferences
Preferences in the Initial Preferences folder are set once during login. The first time users log
in, they get a fresh copy of any preferences contained in the Initial Preferences folder. Users
can modify these preferences, and the changes are saved at logout.
For example, in a classroom setting, a teacher can set up preferences and a list of bookmarks
for a particular Web browser. He or she stores a copy of those preferences in the Initial
Preferences folder. When students log in on the first day of class, they all start out with the
same browser preferences and the same list of bookmarks.
