 ### Uninstallation and reinstallation of Windows 8 applications reverts settings to initial state
 
-While using UE-V settings synchronization for a Windows 8 application, if the user uninstalls the application and then reinstalls the application, the application’s settings revert to their default values. This result happens because the uninstall removes the local (cached) copy of the application’s settings but does not remove the local UE-V settings package. When the application is reinstalled and launched, UE-V gathers the application settings that were reset to the application defaults and then uploads the default settings to the central storage location. Other computers running the application then download the default settings. This behavior is identical to the behavior of desktop applications.

In order to use SMB signing, you must first either enable it, or you must require it on both the SMB client and the SMB server. Note that the SMB signing imposes a performance penalty. It does not consume any more network bandwidth, but it uses more CPU cycles on the client and server side.

 ### Always use the NTFS file system for volumes that hold user data
 
 For the most secure configuration, configure servers that host the UE-V settings files to use the NTFS file system. Unlike the FAT file system, NTFS supports Discretionary access control lists (DACLs) and system access control lists (SACLs). DACLs and SACLs control who can perform operations on a file and what events trigger the logging of actions that is performed on a file.
