Current VNC Manager has settings for "Global", "Parent", and "For this computer". What would be ultimately useful is to allow the user to setup pre-defined settings that could be applied to multiple computers, or groups of computers quickly. For instance, I have 3 main groups of computers. The "Users" and my "Servers" and the "Remotes". I use VNC for all the users computers for maximum flexibility and support ability. For the server however, I use RDP which requires a totally different setup. I also have remote users that have different settings too. If I could define 3 user named settings sets to apply easily to each computer depending on it's group, or just individually it would simplify administration greatly. Right now I use "global" settings for the main users group, but have to manually apply settings to each computer in "Servers" and in the "Remotes", and also adjust a few computers that may be associated differently. With a handful of pre-defined settings, it would be much quicker.

Hi Scott,
thank you for your feedback! With regards of quickly applying settings to a group of computers there is such feature in the v4.5. Please take a look at the Copy Registered Computer Settings Command. It allows to copy settings from one computer to another. So for example, you could have a group of "template" registered computers and copy their settings to another registered computers.

PS: By default the "Copy Registered Computer Settings" dialog doesn't show target registered computer, only group. The computers can be make visible via the toolbar button.
