Page 10 What is the PUPClient.exe Software? The PUPClient.exe consists of seven default files totally roughly 3.5 MB In addition to these files, the profileunity.lic will need to be copied into this directory along with any configuration (*.ini) files

Page 11 Migrate User and Application Settings Leverage existing investment in User Profiles Migrate v1 Profiles (Win2K/XP) to v2 Profiles (Vista/Win7/2008) Create a familiar feel to increase User Acceptance / Expectations of new platform ProfileUnity: Profile Portability

Page 12 ProfileUnity: Data Migration Migrate and redirect files and folders to the users’ network file share Invokes Best Practices for User Authored Data Lowers profile size dramatically Serves as DR for mission critical data

Page 13 Filter Management The Filter Management Section allows the admin to create different filters based on many different criteria that can later help to provide more granularity of profile management – Ex. Department Filters based on AD group might be used to provision different departmental drives that are department specific Like the Portability Management Tab, this tab merely defines the possible filters, they are applied under Configuration Management

Page 14 Configuration Management The Configuration Modules provide the “assembly” of the profile management instructions. Each section is optional and can be used globally (i.e. across all users) or through the application of filters

Page 15 Config Management—Portability Settings Select the filter (if applicable), the Action, the Rule Set from the Portability Management tab, UNC save path The UID can be changed from the default random value—this value will be the name of the 7z file that will be created/updated upon logoff

Page 16 Config Management—Portability Settings Each portability rule set will result in a 7z archive that is created and stored in a network accessible location where the user has read/write access The files are stored in their native format Larger 7z files may result in longer logon/logoff times and may need to be tweaked to exclude certain directories to “tune” or improve performance

Page 17 VMware ThinApp Management Deployment – network, cache, and delete options Inventory – of all ThinApp packages Licensing – dynamic user license count of packages deployed Dynamic assignment– based on location, machine type, IP, etc.

Page 18 Manage VMware ThinApp Packages ProfileUnity v4.7 now allows you complete profile management + the ability to provision, publish, and entitle your entire Vmware ThinApp library, to any user, anyplace, anytime – whether it be physical desktop, virtual machines, online, or offline users based on your IT policies and filters.

Page 19 Other Configuration Modules Each of the 27 modules are processed in top down linear fashion Modules can be utilized as needed Each configuration module has an associated help menu that provides an explanation, syntax, and other tips as well as a list of macros that can be utilized in a configuration After a config is created, it needs to be downloaded to theProfileUnityfolder specific the specified path in the GPO settings
