Control Preferences via the INI file?

Can I set things like System Privileges from the INI file?

We use Powershell to build a ready/set settings.ini file on each laptop we image/configure (network adapters get configured correctly and then a new .ini file is written) but the program comes up requiring Admin privileges so we have to manually change that.

Win Pro x64
NetSetMan ver. 3.73
NSM - Yes (N/A)

Re: Control Preferences via the INI file?

All profile settings and most program settings are stored in the settings.ini file. It's in plain text so you can manually edit it if you'd like to.

However, if I understand your request correctly your actual goal is to configure the software to run without admin privileges automatically after deploying it.

NetSetMan 4.x enables the NSM Service (that takes care of the privileges issue) automatically after installation. So by using the new major version you don't need to do anything.

In version 3.x you can enable the NSM Service manually through command line. Please have a look at this FAQ chapter (last part of it): www.netsetman.com/faqcompany
It's basically running these two commands:

[installation path]\nsmservice.exe /INSTALL /SILENT
net start nsmService
