UE-V Windows 10 1607 Powershell and UE-V Template share

Posted on February 24, 2017August 21, 2017 by Jörgen Nilsson

To follow up on my post earlier this week about how to enable UE-V during OSD and get it to sync Internet Explorer favorites I will cover UE-V templates Powershell and a template share.
In UE-V we can define a central template share where we can drop a UE-V template and the clients will automatically pick it up. New in Windows 10 1607 is that we also must register even the builtin templates so if we just enable UE-V no templates are imported. In UE-V 1607 the builtin templates are placed in C:\Programdata\Microsoft\uev\InboxTemplates. We can register them with a Powershell script during OS deployment for instance.

In this example I will register all of the templates in the inbox templates which I don’t think you should. I will get 35 templates in my Templates folder that contains registered templates after they are imported.Template 1

And everything works just fine.

If I then specify a central template share and then restart the computer… I am left with only 26 + the Google Chrome one from my template share. The rest is removed.

Template2

Conclusion: When using UE-V register all templates during OS deployment that you want to make sure that they are used the first time the user logs on and add all the Office related templates to a template share if a template share is used, otherwise they are unregistered after the first reboot.

      Hi Jörgen,

      Thanks for this great post.
      Will you share your Google Chrome template with us?
      Kind Regards

      It seems that if you manually run the c:\windows\system32\ApplySettingsTemplateCatalog.exe on the local machine it will register all the templates on the template store without manually doing PowerShell for each. (and remove them if they don’t exist in the catalog)

      Obviously you’d run this via the task sequence if you want to pull the current one during deployment.

      I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature. 🙂

      Have you tried pushing UE-V out through GPO or SCCM lately? Would love a post about that. Im struggling to get it working properly on the latest W10 1607/1703 versions.

        You shouldn’t need to install it – it ships with 1607 or later windows 10. Just enable the GPO no need to install.

      so if you copy all the template from the InboxTemplates to your central store does it works then? and do you also have to configure the gpo under the microsoft User Experience Virtualization\application ?
      thanks!

      Hi Jörgen,

      Thanks for great blog post’s!!

      One thing I’m still struggling to find an overview of is which user settings are synchronized with the Microsoft built-in templates.

      In the old days Microsoft made spreadsheets with an overview of the settings that can be synchronized by UE-V (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46367)

      Do you know if there made any such spreadsheets for Windows 10 and Office 2016?

      Hi Jorgen,
      Great blog site, some help would be much appreciated, I’m struggling with Office 2016 templates, I have got the UE-V working, it works fine for notepad, IE, but not for office 2016 apps, changes from client pc are updated at stored location, but once the user exist the office app and re-opens again, it defaults to original settings, the settings are not drowned down from the stored location.
