Overview

Configuration consists of:

• Setting default options and preferences for all executions of UEM Manager.
• Setting options and preferences for a single execution of UEM Manager.

Configuration Sources

UEM for Windows receives its configuration options from the following sources:

1. Command line
2. Command file
3. Environment variables
4. Configuration file

The order of precedence is the same as the list above; command line options being the highest and configuration file being the lowest. That is, options specified via a command line override options specified a via command file, and so on.

Detailed information on these methods of configuration can be found in the Configuration Management.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values will not change with each command invocation. These default values are used if the options are not read from one or more other sources.

Some options only can be specified in the configuration file; they have no corresponding command line equivalent. Other options cannot be specified in the configuration file; they must be specified via one or more other sources for a single execution of UEM Manager.
