Duplicating settings for MSI Deployment

Post by krosal »

I am wanting to do a deployment to all the users via the Group Policy Management Console. In order for me to tackle this I would like to know if copying my configuration of the .ini file will duplicate everything my current setup.

Can the filters be copied also?

Is there anything that doesn't get copied over?

Thank you,

Please copy the two Everything.ini files:
The one in the same location as Everything.
The one the %APPDATA%\Everything

%APPDATA% will vary for each user.

Please make sure the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe contains:
app_data=1
Can the filters be copied also?
Yes, copy your Filters.csv to %APPDATA%\Everything

Also consider copying to %APPDATA%\Everything:
Bookmarks.csv
Search History.csv
Run History.csv

Thank you for that Information. It will really help me out.

I will push out a few test installs before I do the full deployment. I think it will go good with the information you provided.

Thank you,

Hello, should the appdata=1 line instead be app_data=1 with the underscore. That looks to be how my original one is listed.

Thank you,

The short version: Yes.
The long version: Yes, you are correct :)

Copying the files that you listed worked perfect. Everything that I had configured showed up and was the same as my configuration.

Thank you!
