Active Setup keys are probably best being done with a registry @ log in / out.

Active Setup\Installed Components would suffice.

To enable personalisation ensure that the personalisation configuration is 
setup i.e the database, then it's just a matter of enabling the personalisation 
button in EM and telling it where you personalisation server is.

If I remember correctly the default settings would capture certificates and 
desktop settings but you would need to enable any specific applications for 
given users.

Taking the entire ActiveSetup key is fine.  If you're using hiving, you can 
just hive this key out at logoff and back in again at logon.

As Joe wrote here - you need to add the Active Setup to the Desktop Settings on 
your personalization server.

What is happening is that key is not being preserved therefore your (active) 
setup is running each time you login.

You could also patch your mandatory profile with a populated active setup key 
but that would potentially break if the platform (and installed apps) changes.  
Adding Active Setup to the Desktop Settings in EM Personalization is the best 
and most flexible approach.

Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

Jon

Did you add the Active Setup keys to AppSense to record? Otherwise it'll run 
every time.

hello-
    just set up mandatory profiles on win2k8 rds for the first time.  the .man 
setup seems to be loading, rather than .dat, so it is using the .man, however 
trying to load the profile it continues to go through Active Setup and we are 
using appsense 8.1.  still continues to load "Personalized Settings" at logon.  
also does not delete cached copy, even though that policy is being applied...

let me know what you think?

gracias
b
