Adding or removing a custom setting

You add a custom setting to augment an existing registry policy. We strongly recommend that you add a custom setting only when you are technically experienced.

You add a custom setting by importing settings from a previously-exported policy.

To add or remove a custom setting

From the left-hand pane, expand Registry Policies, and then expand either Computer Policies or User Policies. You may need to expand folders in the left-hand pane to display the name of the policy.
From the left-hand pane, select the policy you want to customise. The policy description, and its categories list and settings, are displayed in the right-hand pane.
From the right-hand pane, at the bottom of the Categories list, choose Custom Settings.

To add a custom setting

Click the Add button.
Browse to locate the registry file you want to add (.reg file), select it and click Open.
Type a name for the custom setting.
Optionally, type a meaningful description.
Click OK.

The custom setting is displayed in the list in the right-hand pane with a tick in the box displayed to the left of the setting name to show that the setting is enabled.

To remove a custom setting

In the list of custom settings in the right-hand pane, select the setting(s) you want to remove.
Click the Remove button.

To commit your changes, click the Save button. Alternatively, to remove all your changes since the last time you saved, click the Revert button, then Yes.

Notes

Before you make your changes, you can clone or export the current version of a policy for safe-keeping.
Registry policy files are located on the server in the folder: D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Type Manager\
When you add a custom setting, it may contain one or more settings that conflict with existing settings. On clicking the Save button, if a conflict is detected the Conflicts window is displayed. For more information about resolving a setting conflict, see Related Topics.
