DentalPlus config batch file
There are two configurations used for DentalPlus.
The main program uses an xml file located in "%appdata%\dentalplus-air\Local Store\config.xml"
This stores the name and address of the server. If you/we have already configured a workstation, you could copy this file to a network location.
The other configuration required is for the client tools program which manages printers and links to imaging systems. This is stored in the Windows registry.
The values are stored in "KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus"
Again, you/we could configure one workstation, and the setting can be exported.
An example batch file might be...
@echo off
echo "Adding Registry Keys for DentalPlus and DBS Win"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_enabled /t REG_SZ /d "True"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_program /t REG_SZ /d "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Duerr\\DBSWIN\\bin\\"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_images /t REG_SZ /d "C:\\ProgramData\\Duerr\\temp\\"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v server_ip /t REG_SZ /d "192.168.1.1:8282"
echo "Copying DentalPlus configuration"
robocopy "\\192.168.1.1\dentalplus_docs" "%appdata%\dentalplus-air\Local Store" "config.xml"
echo "Done"
echo "Adding Registry Keys for DentalPlus and DBS Win"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_enabled /t REG_SZ /d "True"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_program /t REG_SZ /d "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Duerr\\DBSWIN\\bin\\"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v dbswin_images /t REG_SZ /d "C:\\ProgramData\\Duerr\\temp\\"
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DentalPlus" /f /v server_ip /t REG_SZ /d "192.168.1.1:8282"
echo "Copying DentalPlus configuration"
robocopy "\\192.168.1.1\dentalplus_docs" "%appdata%\dentalplus-air\Local Store" "config.xml"
echo "Done"
Add this to a batch file, e.g. configdentalplus.bat and use group policy to run this when the user logs in.
