Is there a way to locate the entire MicroStation CONNECT edition configuration on the network? Something like the -WR command line parameter in V8i?
I can do a custom-configuration to the network, but even then MicroStations writes the <workspace>.cfg to the local ProgramData directory. In most cases with my customers, the local disk is not accessible for writing for the users or the workstation is a Virtual Machine or a sealed image.

MicroStation is designed to work in a network with resources stored on a server. That's all done through configuration files. Configuration files are plain text files that contain definitions of MicroStation configuration variables. A configuration variable points at one or more resources. A resource can be a folder, a set of folders, a file or a set of files.
All the above falls under the Administration category of MicroStation activities, including help and the Administration Forum, which is the best place to post questions such as yours. MicroStation help has Setting up the Environment.

Hi Bear, Thanks for your reply, I've found this file before. -WR is not in the list, although it seems to be working. But because of the changes between the V8i configuration and the CONNECT configuration I am not sure -WR does the job well.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply. Working on the network is evident, but did you read the second part of my question? I want to set all of the configuration on the network location, even the <Workspace name>.cfg. More because in a lot of customers situations the C: drive is locked for writing, is a VM or is a sealed image, all with no rights for writing.
