Predefined settings via Group policy

Since Version 3.2, it is possible to predefine Corporate standards on any setting via group policy. 

The Busylight tray app checks the Software\Policies\Busylight sections for the existence of any of the registry keys listed in the previous chapter.

If a setting is found in the Policies section, it will override any user setting and disable the corresponding user menu items. Users can still see the predefined settings, but not change them.

Registry check order

Upon application start, the registry sections will be checked in this order:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Busylight

2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Busylight

3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Busylight

4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Busylight

The first value found in this order will be applied. 

• If nothing is found in the registry, Busylight applies the intrinsic default values defined in the previous chapter.
• Changes of group policy values will be applied on the fly without the need to restart the software.
• This software package contains registry files as a sample for the convenience of the system administrators.

Notice!

Option "2" for registry key FonComfortInvisible will be deprecated in a future release because the same functionality can be achieved with the Policies registry keys.

Apply a policy to users

To apply a policy to users, it can be published using this PowerShell command from the server:

Invoke - GPUpdate – Computer <computername> - Force - RandomDelayInMinutes 0

Or,
 

from the client PC:

GPUpdate /force
