Performed by the user

The following items must be performed on the user’s primary computer and on any remote desktop server the user will use. All computers at a location will share this configuration. For example, if this is done on a computer in the Monterey office, all computers in the Monterey office will automatically download the same configuration. However, if the user were to login to a computer in the Salinas office, they would have to configure these settings. With that said, Any other computer in the Salinas office would automatically download their configuration. Even though the remote desktop servers are at a location, they do not automatically download user configurations so they need to be configured once per user.
