I dont believe EPM is “required”. I am using the script just find without EPM installed.
As far as DeskI settings, if you goto Query Builder of the Admin Launchpad.
Use this query:
SELECT SI_DATA FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.User'
Or you can query a specific user:
SELECT SI_DATA FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.User' And SI_Name = 'Administrator'
You will get a list of whatever settings are set for that user.
From there you can just add it to the script.
For Example:
Say we want to set CADENZA_SelectedView, which doesnt appear to be in the script (possibly intentional to limit query execution time)
In the script add a line to get, that says:
String sCADENZA_SelectedView = sUser.getProfileString("CADENZA_SelectedView");
And one to set:
iUser.setProfileString("CADENZA_SelectedView", sCADENZA_SelectedView);
That should do the trick. There are potentially hundereds of possible settings that can be set here which is probably why they are not all in the script.
I would set a users prefs up how you want them, the query for that users prefs, and setup the script to do just those. Even if that involves removing some of the ones that are in the script now.
Interestingly ALL prefs can be set in one step using a vbs file. Apparently the Java and .NET SDK’s are quite different.

Any plans for a .Net version?
