To modify the settings used to install the software on the workstations, you can use the Persist.xml file stored at the root of the server image.
Each entry in Persist.xml corresponds to a public property for the software (see Using public properties). The syntax of each entry is as follows:
By modifying the value of an existing entry in Persist.xml — or by adding a new entry — you can customize the installation settings deployed from that server image. This deployment method offers an excellent alternative to creating a different server image or customizing a command line.
You must modify Persist.xml before installing the software on the workstations for the changes to take effect.
You can use the following Persist.xml entry to specify that automatic software updates are enabled:
By changing the value of this entry from "1" to "2" (and saving this change to Persist.xml), you can disable automatic updates for the workstation installations.
By changing the value of this entry from "1" to "0" (and saving this change to Persist.xml), you can check for updates and let the user choose when to install the update.
You can use the following Persist.xml entry to specify the ProfileID and add account credentials to the server image:
Specifying a value for the ProfileID will ensure that all workstations are automatically signed in to the account after installation. For information about accessing the ProfileID, see ProfileID.
You can use the following Persist.xml entry to allow users to take advantage of Welcome screen features:
Note that the Welcome screen cannot be used without enabled internet features.
You can use the following Persist.xml entry to specify the serial number for the installation:
By changing the "SN" value, you can specify a different serial number for the workstation installations.
