6.4 Temporary folders for remote connections

SIU reference: SIU-091.

If you are installing over a remote connection, you must set up your system not to use temporary folders per session before installing MyID.

Note: When you install MyID using the MyID Installation Assistant, these settings are checked on the Pre-Installation Check Results screen; if you need to change these settings, you can use the fix-it script provided on that screen. See section 2.16, Pre-installation check results for details.

To set the temporary folder options:

  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
  2. Expand Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Temporary folders

  3. Set the Do not use temporary folders per session option to Enabled.

    You may have to disconnect and reconnect, or restart the server, for this setting to take effect. To find out if the setting is correct, in Windows Explorer, type the following in the address bar, and press Enter:

    %temp%

    If this resolves to a path similar to:

    C:\Users\myapp\AppData\Local\Temp\

    rather than a path with a number on the end, similar to:

    C:\Users\myapp\AppData\Local\Temp\1

    the setting has taken effect correctly. If the path has a number at the end (for example, /1), you must reconnect your remote session or restart the server before you start to install MyID.
