UEM Easy Start creates a number of sample items that are helpful in understanding the basics of how the software works, but should be removed prior to activating the software using the GPOs referenced in the next section of this chapter.

The UEM Easy Start setup configures a number of different Windows settings, but among those there are ones specific to users that will in most cases need to be removed before the UEM is placed into production.

The initial settings are created under the UEM management console User Environment tab, which is shown in the following screenshot and contains settings related to the Windows profile itself:

The following User Environment settings are among those configured by default, and are recommended to be removed or customized prior to placing the UEM into production:

• Files and Folders: Used to create the README file on the desktop and adds a VMware website entry to the Favorites folder
• Registry Settings: Used to create registry keys in HKCUSoftwareVMwareUEMDemo
• Shortcuts: Used to create shortcuts for various default Windows applications, a shortcut to the VMware website, as well as UEM features such as Self-Support and User Environment Refresh
• Triggered Tasks: Used to display an information message when the user unlocks the computer

Consult the UEM documentation (https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/uem-pubs.html) for information about the other settings available, and refer to the Advanced configuration – examples section of this chapter for examples of how some of these and other settings may be used in a UEM deployment.
