Revit.ini update to userprofile issues.

Anonymous

We have a network deployment image, and all users have installed Revit 2016 from this image, which means the InstallGUID is same for all.

 

I modified some settings in Revit.ini and pushed it via login script to the users %UserDataCache% folder. Reopened Revit and some of the settings are updating, but not all.

 

Settings will update up to 18 or 19 entries. Anything after that is ignored.
[Install]
Update=Update=DirectoriesENU|FamilyTemplatePath;DirectoriesENU|DataLibraryLocations;DirectoriesENU|DefaultTemplate;Colors|CustomColor1;Colors|CustomColor2;Colors|CustomColor3;Colors|CustomColor4;Colors|CustomColor5;Colors|CustomColor6;Colors|CustomColor7;Colors|CustomColor8;Colors|BackgroundColor;Colors|HiliteColor;Colors|PreHiliteColor;Colors|ErrorColor;Directories|IESFileLocation;Directories|LookupTableLocation;Directories|ExternalParameters;Backups|SaveReminderMinutes;Backups|SaveToCentralReminderMinutes

 

Adding more entries to the previous line is ignored, but if it is placed anywhere before the 18th semicolon will update in the %UserProfile%

eg: ;Backups|JournalShelfCapacity;Backups|JournalShelfLife

 

How can I push multiple entries to the users profile? These are setting that even if the users change, should revert back to the office standards, keeping the other settings of the users intact.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe there is a length limit for the command?
Anyway, Have you tried splitting the update entries into multiple scripts/gpo's?
Alternatively, you can try using the GPP ini to configure the file - http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2012/02/how-to-use-group-policy-to-configured-ini-files/ or powershell to replace the text in the file http://windowsitpro.com/scripting/replacing-strings-files-using-powershell

I have asked the IT dept. to check out the Group Policy to update the entries.

Will keep you informed of the outcome.

Powershell seems complicated Smiley Sad
