Snarl @ Business - Settings, Applications and UI Lock

[Pedro Sousa]

Hi,

I'm considering the use of Snarl, and specially Snowstorm, on my business as a notification mechanism. I've searched for a way to define settings (config file, registry, etc.) for all my users and also disable the other applications that we don't have use for. However I could not find a way to do it. Where does Snarl records the settings made by the user?

Also, is there a way for me to lock the UI to prevent the users from changing the settings I define?

PS: This is my second post, the previous one (yesterday) disappeared!!

Hi there

Snarl writes it's user settings to APPDATA but you can redirect this using the admin settings - check out this link: https://sites.google.com/site/snarlapp/help-and-support/snarl-administration-guide

Let me know how you get on!

Hi Chris,

After I've sent the previous message I found that information on the administration guide and tried it out but with no results. It seems that Snarl is ignoring the settings!

I've defined a simple snarl.admin file with these settings:

InhibitQuit=1

InhibitPrefs=1

TreatSettingsAsReadOnly=1

But I can still change settings or close the application from systray.

My sysconfig.ssl has the setting "target=c:\snarl".

Any ideas?

Pedro

Hi Pedro

Apologies, I've been busy with work.  What you've done looks correct - I'll replicate it over the weekend and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Hey Pedro,

For snowstorm from what I can tell you need to have a config file in the current users %Appdata%/roaming/full phat/Snowstorm folder, I'd recommend looking at how its configured on a computer that is already set up, then building the file based on that.

Then all you need is something to allocate that at logon time, if you have a logon script it should be simple to have it pull the file from a network share or something similar and place it there, I'm working on an idea around using code to add to the config file based on active directory groups, but that would be more advanced obviously.

Cheers,

David
