Teams is going to put a bullet in the head of Skype for Business, eat Slack’s lunch, and be the face that launched a thousand Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Yes, that’s exactly how I feel after digging through the mess that is the guts of Microsoft Teams.

Then when launching one of the shortcuts will create a folder on the user’s desktop and re-run will remove the folder. When you create a shortcut to this file, and alternative provide a parameter to the refreshow.exe you can then wait for this process start action and execute the action defined on the Process Start trigger.Īttached a demo Environment Manager configuration that creates the refreshnow.exe at Computer Startup, and two shortcuts to this file at user logon but with different parameters.
This creates a file called refreshnow.exe in the %programfiles%\appsense\refreshnow.exe, And the leverage it any way you like on any time. It just starts and stops, and based on this process start action you can create any configuration you desire, and with the parameters passed to this ‘dummy’ executable you can execute different tasks based on the method of starting the same executable.īelow the PowerShell script that you can easily place at Computer Startup trigger, so it creates the executable when the machine starts. But we have to have a process that actually starts to execute actions, how will this be helpful?īecause with the native PowerShell support Environment Manager is able to create a ‘dummy’ executable, that effectively does nothing. This can be done by leveraging the process start action, and alternatively add this with the parameters passed to the process start. map drive, create shortcut, mirror folder, execute script etc etc etc.)based on the users demand. You want to run any Environment Manager actions (e.g. So what about running Environment Manager actions that are not bound to a specific application executable? By using these trigger points will eliminate the use of building the whole environment at user logon, and therefor can speed up the logon and logoff process massively.Įxample: I want to set ADMX policy and a Map Drive mapping when launching Microsoft Word, this can very easily accomplished with a Process Start trigger based on winword.exe. Process Start triggers enables you to set actions based on the start of an application (regardless how this application is started). These triggers allows a real flexible method of executing Environment Manager actions on certain moments. This can and will improve logon performance massively, applying the desired actions just-in-time rather than just-in-case.Įxample : Determine the context of users when Session Reconnect occurs, and a different printer must be mapped based on their new location after disconnecting and reconnecting their session. Next to the fact that Environment Manager is multi-threaded, actions can be postponed to the moment they actually need to be executed. These so called triggers can be leveraged to execute any action. With Environment Manager you have the ability to postpone actions to certain moments in time.
