Updates to Existing Startup Configurations Are Not Applied

Problem:

Persistent workstations that leverage the ProfileUnity client service to run on-boot configurations do not process new iterations of existing startup configurations when deployed.

Resolution:

This is a known issue wherein, once deployed, only the initial deployed configuration is ever processed with new versions of the configuration never replacing the original configuration INI in the cache directory of the service account. To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Manually delete the existing configuration INI in the service account's cache directory (substitute 'ServiceAccountName' with actual name of the service account).
   
   C:\ProgramData\Liquidware\ProfileUnity\Ini\ServiceAccountName
   
   
2. Create an Application Launcher rule in the startup configuration like the example below:
   
   
   1. • Filespec:
        %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe
      • Arguments:
        /c del /f /q "%ProgramData%\Liquidware\ProfileUnity\Ini\ServiceAccountName\*.*"
      • Timing:
        After Configuration Execution
        
        
3. Save the changes and deploy the updated configuration INI
4. Restart the workstation(s)
