We have a similar script at my company. Most of the FME settings are stored in the registry, so its just a case of finding the correct registry key and changing that.

We're making changes to these two keys so all users connect to the same shared resources and connections

pHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Safe Software Inc.\\Feature Manipulation Engine]

"Shared Resource Directory"

pHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Safe Software Inc.\\Feature Manipulation Engine\\Settings]

"Named Connection Directory"

Hi @hkingsbury​ ,

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you just direct me towards where the registry is usually stored? I never used it thus far and I'm not sure what to look for.

Hey, if you're not comfortable using/making changes to the registry i'd suggest this isn't for you.... The registry is a low level database that holds a heap (1000s) of configurations and settings for your computer (https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001348.htm)

I'd recommend you see if there is someone in your organisation that is comfortable working in the registry and then go from there. You can very easily screw up your computer if you make a wrong change

Hi @hkingsbury​ ,

Thanks a lot for the clarification and the advice.

I'll contact our IT department to see if we can/should integrate this into the general configuration procedure.
