Thanks Jim,
I have read and checked out the Fwctool.exe utility and have a question
about the deployment of the new configuration.
Rather than copying the application.ini file to all the machines, or doing
something in a script, do you know any other way of distributing the
application.ini file to the all users folder and the individual folders
for each existing profile? Can it be placed on the ISA server for example
and have the client machines auto update themselves?
any advice is welcomed as otherwise I will have to do this manually and
maintaining it may be troublesome.
Thanks
