Hi,

is there a way to change the general settings Startup/automatically start the app at login and Conversations/Allow Rainbow to notify you by email when you receive a message while offline via mass provisioning for 70 users.

best regards,
Harry

  Hello Harald,

  "Mass provisioning" feature allows you to manage user information but not personal settings. If you want to have this possibility in Rainbow, I invite you to post a request in the subject: "Feature Suggestion".

  Another track would be to modify the "rainbow.ini" file of your users where most of the personal settings are stored (automatic start, "do not disturb" automatic mode etc).

  If you want to dig this trail, I can try to help you. Feel free to ask your questions in this conversation!

  Hello Quentin,

  I know. Is it possible to modify the rainbow.ini file for all users, before mass provisioning via the GPO? If so, how it works?

  best regards,
  Harry

  Hello Harald,

  I advise you to consider the deployment of your applications through the MSI and the user accounts creation as two independent steps.

  I'm not a GPO expert but I think you can use them to copy a file to each computer. I found explanations about this topics here: https://silentcrash.com/2012/06/copy-files-multiple-computers-group-policy-gpo/

  Once you have deployed the Rainbow application in each user's directory, you should be able to add or edit a "rainbow.ini" file including the settings you want.

  Let me know if my answer help you or if you need further information...

  Thank you for the link, he's very helpful.

  Last question. Do you have a description for each setting in the rainbow.ini file which can modify. In my rainbow.ini file i have only this informations:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [Main]
  language=de
  dwlFolder=C:\\Users\\XXX\\Downloads\\Rainbow
  shareCalendarInfo=true
  geometry=@ByteArray(\x1\xd9\xd0\xcb\0\x2\0\0\xff\xff\xf8x\xff\xff\xff\xf8\0\0\0\a\0\0\x4\xb7\xff\xff\xfb'\0\0\0\x87\xff\xff\xff\xe\0\0\x3\x38\0\0\0\x1\x2\0\0\0\a\x80)
  automaticDND=false
  headsetDeviceName=3- Jabra Engage 75
  audioProfile=headset
  handFreeInputDeviceName=Realtek High Definition Audio
  handFreeOutputDeviceName=Realtek High Definition Audio
  contactNameDisplay=FL
  gifAutoPlay=true
  searchBarVisible=false
  searchFilter=NoFiltering

  [Setup]
  dwlVersion=1.53.1.0
  dwlFileName=Rainbow_Installer_User_1.53.1.0.exe
  checkDelay=60
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  So, if i want to enable the automatic start or disable the email notification etc, which command i must add to the rainbow.ini file?

  Best regards

  Hello Harald,

  I'm really sorry! I didn't see your answer... For the moment we don't have an article that summarizes all the possible values for the "rainbow.ini" file. But it's a good idea and we should publish it.

  Is your problem still relevant?

  Hello,

  Autostart can be set in Rainbow.ini and since 1.62, "AutoStart" flag can be used as an argument for MSI files to automatically start the app when user logs in.

  Regards,
  Claire
