Enabling UD/WCG for All Users

For Install 1 and Install 2: If you are not intending to run UD/WCG as a Windows service, and want everyone logged into the machine to be able to utilize WCG, move the WCG shortcut from C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

This option is only useful if you intend to have WCG running when the user logs in. If not, then the links contained in the locations above should be removed.

 

Issues

If you decide to convert UD/WCG to a service, the scripted method to do this will fail with an error because the shortcut can no longer be found in the current users startup folder.
