Introduction

The Desktop Manager is a tool that offers centralized management of configuration settings, called profiles, for desktop applications. The Desktop Manager allows you to view and assign profiles to the various elements of an organization's or domain's hierarchy. Profiles are applied when a user starts a desktop session or an application that is managed by the Desktop Manager. All the profiles relevant for the user or the host running the application are retrieved, and their settings are integrated with the local defaults of the application and the user's custom settings. Profiles can be used to provide a set of centrally managed defaults to the application or to enforce mandatory settings.
