Is there a Bentley CONNECTION Client GPO and/or what are the Registry/File settings to control the "Preferences" in an Enterprise Windows Environment?

Is there a GPO (Group Policy Object) for the Bentley Connection Client that will allow me to set the following:

 

  • Skip the “Get Started” intro on first start
  • Run the CONNECTION Client on system startup
  • Automatically sign me in
  • Minimize CONNECTION Client after sign in
  • Show Desktop Notications and set the Check and Retrieve messages days.

 

I already push the Client setup with “BeCheckUpdateOption=3 BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=0 /q” to remove the update check and silent install per the Wiki page but couldn’t find anything regarding the other settings.

 

I understand for the CONNECTION Client startup I can remove the key “MySelect.exe” under  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run but if there isn’t a GPO how can I Enterprise wide control the other settings?

 

In addition, is there a way to have the CONNECTION Client exit automatically when the last Bentley product is closed since it automatically opens when the first Bentley product opens?

Thanks in advance,
