As administrator, you need to have access to the NMS configuration settings on client stations; for example, to switch the automatic distribution of the license code on or off. At the same time, you generally need to prevent others from having access to configuration settings. To prevent users from changing settings, as they may try to do, for example, if they are unable to access a certain image, keep the following in mind:
| • | The global Virtual CD settings that affect client stations are stored in the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\H+H Software GmbH\Virtual CD 10\Settings. Make sure users do not have any privileges that would allow them to change this key. |
| • | Even without permissions in the Registry, users could change Virtual CD settings temporarily; i.e., changes would be active until the client station is shut down or restarted. To prevent this, you can assign a password to protect your NMS configuration. In the NMS Settings, open the NMS Configuration page and select Require password for changing NMS configurations on the client machine. From this point on, settings cannot be modified until the correct password has been entered: |
