Our end users access Management reporter via a citrix option. However, they are complaining that they have to change the company when they get into MR. GP Partner says that the user has to right-click MR and run as admin to set the default company. Using Citrix, that option isn't available. Network people say they cannot configure a link to run as admin.
How can I get this accomplished?
Thank you Greg,
I did remember from several years back, having tinkered with the user profile for MR 2012, as I wanted to pre-populate some settings for end-users so they wouldn't be prompted the 1st time when launching MR Designer..
Deanne,
That might help you to identify that the problem could possibly be linked to some user profiles not getting saved or getting over-written every time they start MR Designer..
HTH
You're correct Beat. The default company is stored under the user's profile -- AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\ReportDesigner.exe_StrongName...\7.0.0.0\user.config
Within that file, there is this line:
<setting name="DefaultCompanyID" serializeAs="String">
That will have the Company ID that is stored in the Reporting.ControlCompany table in the ManagmentReporter database.
Each user should have their own user.config file under their profile.
Hi Deanne,
This makes no sense to me.. AFAIK, the settings in MR are "per user" and you'll be prompted when opening the MR Designer the first time to set your default company, which you can change anytime after that, and it doesn't require to start MR in "elevated" admin mode.
Unless your MR client application is executed under a specific user account (which I wouldn't see why you'd do that), every user is authenticated with their own Windows domain account. I'm not aware that this would be different in Citrix as it would be in RDS server.
Unless the user profiles are somewhat forbidden to make any changes (again why would that be?), the user settings should store the MR settings in some profile that is usually stored under the own user account (like in %userprofile% or %appdata%).
