ParameterDescription

/ACCEPTLICENSETERMS=True

Set this parameter to True to install UE-V silently. Adding this parameter implies that the user accepts the UE-V license terms, which are found (by default) here: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft User Experience Virtualization\Agent

/NORESTART

This parameter prevents the mandatory restart after the UE-V agent is installed. A return code of 3010 indicates that a restart is required prior to using UE-V.

- -  - -### Registry settings do not synchronize between App-V and native applications on the same computer - -When a computer has an application that is installed through both Application Virtualization (App-V) and locally with a Windows Installer (.msi) file, the registry-based settings do not synchronize between the technologies. - -WORKAROUND: To resolve this problem, run the application by selecting one of the two technologies, but not both. - -### Unpredictable results with both Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed - -When a user has both Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed, any common settings between the two versions of Office are roamed by UE-V. This could cause the Office 2010 package size to be quite large or result in unpredictable conflicts with 2013, particularly if Office 365 is used. - -WORKAROUND: Install only one version of Office or limit which settings are synchronized by UE-V. - -### Uninstall and re-install of Windows 8 app reverts settings to initial state - -While using UE-V settings synchronization for a Windows 8 app, if the user uninstalls the app and then reinstalls the app, the app’s settings revert to their default values.  This happens because the uninstall removes the local (cached) copy of the app’s settings but does not remove the local UE-V settings package.  When the app is reinstalled and launched, UE-V gather the app settings that were reset to the app defaults and then uploads the default settings to the central storage location.  Other computers running the app then download the default settings.  This behavior is identical to the behavior of desktop applications. - -WORKAROUND: None. - -### UE-V does not support roaming settings between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office - -We recommend that you install the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. To choose the Microsoft Office version that you need, click here. ([http://office.microsoft.com/word-help/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-microsoft-office-HA010369476.aspx](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=247623)). UE-V supports roaming settings between identical architecture versions of Office. For example, 32-bit Office settings will roam between all 32-bit Office instances. UE-V does not support roaming settings between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office. - -WORKAROUND: None - -### MSI’s are not localized - -UE-V 2.0 includes a localized setup program for both the UE-V Agent and UE-V generator. These MSI files are still available but the user interface is minimized and the MSI’s only display in English. Despite the file being in English, the setup program installs all supported languages during the installation. - -WORKAROUND: None - -### Favicons that are associated with Internet Explorer 9 favorites do not roam - -The favicons that are associated with Internet Explorer 9 favorites are not roamed by User Experience Virtualization and do not appear when the favorites first appear on a new computer. - -WORKAROUND: Favicons will appear with their associated favorites once the bookmark is used and cached in the Internet Explorer 9 browser. - -### File settings paths are stored in registry - -Some application settings store the paths of their configuration and settings files as values in the registry. The files that are referenced as paths in the registry must be synchronized when settings are roamed between computers. - -WORKAROUND: Use folder redirection or some other technology to ensure that any files that are referenced as file settings paths are present and placed in the same location on all computers where settings roam. - -### Long Settings Storage Paths could cause an error - -Keep settings storage paths as short as possible. Long paths could prevent resolution or synchronization. UE-V uses the Settings storage path as part of the calculated path to store settings. That path is calculated in the following way: settings storage path + “settingspackages” + package dir (template ID) + package name (template ID) + .pkgx. If that calculated path exceeds 260 characters, package storage will fail and generate the following error message in the UE-V operational event log: - -`[boost::filesystem::copy_file: The system cannot find the path specified]` - -To check the operational log events, open the Event Viewer and navigate to Applications and Services Logs / Microsoft / User Experience Virtualization / Logging / Operational. - -WORKAROUND: None. - -### Some operating system settings only roam between like operating system versions - -Operating system settings for Narrator and currency characters specific to the locale (i.e. language and regional settings) will only roam across like operating system versions of Windows. For example, currency characters will not roam between Windows 7 and Windows 8. - -WORKAROUND: None - -### UE-V 1 agent generates errors when running UE-V 2 templates - -If a UE-V 2 settings location template is distributed to a computer installed with a UE-V 1 agent, some settings fail to synchronize between computers and the agent reports errors in the event log. - -WORKAROUND: When migrating from UE-V 1 to UE-V 2 and it is likely you’ll have computers running the previous version of the agent, create a separate UE-V 2.0 catalog to support the UE-V 2.0 Agent and templates. - -## Hotfixes and Knowledge Base articles for UE-V 2.1 - - -This section contains hotfixes and KB articles for UE-V 2.1. - - ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If the profile is not already created, the user can create one and then restart Outlook on that device to enable signature synchronization. - -  - -Previously UE-V included Microsoft Office 2010 settings location templates that were automatically distributed and registered with the UE-V Agent. UE-V 2.1 works with Office 365 to determine whether Office 2013 settings are roamed by Office 365. If settings are roamed by Office 365 they are not roamed by UE-V. [Overview of user and roaming settings for Office 2013](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=391220) provides more information. - -To enable settings synchronization using UE-V 2.1, do one of the following: - -- Use Group Policy to disable Office 365 synchronization - -- Do not enable the Office 365 synchronization experience during Office 2013 installation - -UE-V 2.1 ships [Office 2013 and Office 2010 templates](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn458932.aspx#autosyncsettings). This release removes the Office 2007 templates. Users can still use Office 2007 templates from UE-V 2.0 or earlier and can still get the templates from the UE-V template gallery located [here](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=246589). - -## Fix for Distributed File System Namespace Users - - -UE-V has improved Distributed File System Namespace (DFSN) support by adding a UE-V configuration called SyncProviderPingEnabled. Disabling this configuration using PowerShell or WMI allows users to disable the UE-V ping. The UE-V ping causes an error when using DFSN servers because these servers do not respond to pings. The non-response prevents UE-V from synchronizing settings. Disabling the UE-V ping allows UE-V synchronization to work normally. - -To disable UE-V ping, use this PowerShell cmdlet: - -``` syntax -Set-UevConfiguration -DisableSyncProviderPing -``` - -## Synchronization for Credentials - - -UE-V 2.1 gives customers the ability to synchronize credentials and certificates stored in the Windows Credential Manager. This component is disabled by default. Enabling this component lets users keep their domain credentials and certificates in sync. Users can sign in one time on a device, and these credentials will roam for that user across all of their UE-V enabled devices. [Manage Credentials with UE-V 2.1](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn458932.aspx#creds) provides more information. - -**Note**   -In Windows 8 and later, Credential Manager contains web credentials. These credentials are not synchronized between users’ devices. - -  - -## UE-V and Microsoft Account Synchronization - - -UE-V detects if “Sync settings with OneDrive”, also known as Microsoft Account synchronization, is on. If the Microsoft Account is not configured to synchronize settings, UE-V synchronizes Windows apps, AppX packages, and Windows desktop settings between devices. This lets users access their Store apps, music, pictures and other Microsoft Account-enabled applications without syncing outside of the enterprise firewall. UE-V checks whether Group Policy will stop synchronizing settings with OneDrive or if the user disables **Sync your settings on this computer** in the user controls. - -## Support for the SyncMethod External - - -A new [SyncMethod configuration](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn554321.aspx) called **External** specifies that if UE-V settings are written to a local folder on the user computer, then any external sync engine (such as OneDrive for Business, Work Folders, Sharepoint, or Dropbox) can be used to apply these settings to the different computers that users access. - -## Enhanced Support for VDI Mode - - -UE-V 2.1 includes [support for VDI sessions](http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn458932.aspx#vdi) that are shared among end users. As an administrator, you can register and configure a special VDI template, which ensures that UE-V keeps all of its functionality intact for non-persistent VDI sessions. - -**Note**   -If you do not enable VDI mode for non-persistent VDI sessions, certain features do not work, such as back-up/restore and LKG. - -  - -## Administrative Backup and Restore - - -You can restore additional settings when a user adopts a new device by putting a settings location template in **backup** or **roam (default)** profile using the Set-UevTemplateProfile PowerShell cmdlet. This lets computer settings sync to the new computer, in addition to user settings. Templates assigned to the backup profile are backed up for that device and configured on a per-device basis. [Manage Administrative Backup and Restore in UE-V 2.x](uev-manage-administrative-backup-and-restore.md) provides more information. - -## Synchronization for Additional Windows Settings - - -UE-V now synchronizes touch keyboard personalization, the spelling dictionary, and enables the App Switching for recent apps and screen edge settings to synchronize between Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 devices. - -## Got a suggestion for UE-V? - - -Add or vote on suggestions [here](http://uev.uservoice.com/forums/280428-microsoft-user-experience-virtualization).

The [Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.1 SP1 Release Notes](microsoft-user-experience-virtualization--ue-v--21-sp1-release-notes.md) provide more information about the UE-V 2.1 SP1 release. - -## Support for Windows 10 - - -UE-V 2.1 SP1 adds support for Windows 10, in addition to the same software that is supported in earlier versions of UE-V. - -### Compatibility with Microsoft Azure - -Windows 10 lets enterprise users synchronize Windows app settings and Windows operating system settings to Azure instead of to OneDrive. You can use the Windows 10 enterprise sync functionality together with UE-V on on-premises domain-joined computers only. To enable coexistence between Windows 10 and UE-V, you must disable the following UE-V templates using either PowerShell on each client or Group Policy. - -In Group Policy, under the Microsoft User Experience Virtualization node, configure these policy settings: - -- Enable “Do Not Synchronize Windows Apps” - -- Disable “Sync Windows Settings” - -### Settings Synchronization Behavior Changed for Windows 10 Support - -UE-V 2.1 SP1 roams taskbar settings between Windows 10 devices. However, UE-V does not synchronize taskbar settings between Windows 10 devices and devices running previous operating systems. - -In addition, UE-V 2.1 SP1 does not synchronize settings between the Microsoft Calculator in Windows 10 and the Microsoft Calculator in previous operating systems. - -## Support Added for Roaming Network Printers - - -UE-V 2.1 SP1 lets network printers roam between devices so that a user has access to their network printers when logged on to any device on the network. This includes roaming the printer that they set as the default. - -Printer roaming in UE-V requires one of these scenarios: - -- The print server can download the required driver when it roams to a new device. - -- The driver for the roaming network printer is pre-installed on any device that needs to access that network printer. - -- The printer driver can be obtained from Windows Update. - -**Note**   -The UE-V printer roaming feature does **not** roam printer settings or preferences, such as printing double-sided. - -  - -## Office 2013 Settings Location Template - - -UE-V 2.1 and 2.1 SP1 include the Microsoft Office 2013 settings location template with improved Outlook signature support. We’ve added synchronization of default signature settings for new, reply, and forwarded emails. Customers no longer have to choose the default signature settings. - -**Note**   -An Outlook profile must be created for any device on which a user wants to sync their Outlook signature.
