If you'd like to set workstation import server on per-container basis, much like the old ZEN 2 user policy used to work, here's how to do it.
- Use login script to set environment variable.
- Then, use force-run app object to deploy environment variable into wsimport server registry key
This was tested with ZEN 3.2 SP1
Supporting TID: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10058431.htm (The TID states it is for ZEN 3.0, so should work in it too).
Example
Step 1: Add to login script:
dos set ZENWSIMPORT="1.2.3.4"
Step 2: Make an app object and associate it to the container, like this:
===== cut here ==== AXT_FILE 3.1 [Application Name] Value=Tweak-Set-WSImportIP [Application Caption] Value=Set WS Import IP [Application Path] Value= 47 NULL [Application Flags] Flag=Install Only Flag=Never Prompt Reboot Flag=Always Distribute Application Flag=No Distribution Window Flag=Force Run Wait Flag=Not a Disconnectable Application [Application Platform] Flag=Windows 95 Flag=Windows NT [Registry Key Create] Flag=Write Always Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager\Import Server [Registry Value Create] Type=Default Flag=Write Always Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager\Import Server Name= Value=%ZENWSIMPORT% [Application Icon Order] Value=1 [Application Association Flags] Flag=Launcher ===== cut here =====
