  • Silent—The ProfileUnity splash screen seen on desktops at startup is helpful in that it displays which configurations are being run and assists in troubleshooting logon and logoff processes executed by ProfileUnity. After a ProfileUnity configuration has been refined, the splash screen can be turned off (if you want) by enabling this option to allow ProfileUnity to run silently.

 

Additional Process:

Assuming you already have the Client Tools on the image: 

1. Uninstall ProfileUnity from the base image

 * Ensure Nothing resides in HKLM/Software/Liquidware Labs/ProfileUnity

 * Ensure Nothing resides in HKLM/Software/WOW6432Node/Liquidware Labs/ProfileUnity

 

2.  Delete This Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout

 

3. Update Lwl.ProfileUnity.Client.Startup.Update.exe.config on deployment/network share - Edit with Notepad++ and change: "DisableSplash_DontHandleDelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout" setting from "False" to "True"

 

4. Extract "client.net.zip" from your deployment share (copy it to local machine or server).

 

5. Update Lwl.ProfileUnity.Client.Startup.Update.exe.config in Extracted Zip- Edit with Notepad++ and change: "DisableSplash_DontHandleDelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout" setting from "False" to "True"

 

6. Update Lwl.ProfileUnity.Client.exe.config in Extracted Zip- Edit with Notepad++ and change: "DisableSplash_DontHandleDelayedDesktopSwitchTimeout" setting from "False" to "True"

 

7. Compress Extracted files back to client.net.zip (Ensure zip file folder structure is the same/correct).

 

8. Rename original client.net.zip to client.net.zip.orig on deployment share

 

9. Copy new client.net.zip to deployment share, to take place of older zip.
