19 We have around 4000 users in our system and would like to work with the “user Catalog” in order to assign different script directories to different user groups. How can we avoid putting all 4000 user names into the user catalog? It is possible to use the SAP roles? Sap Guixt pfeile Installation

24 We want to use a .reg file in order to install the GuiXT profile parameters on numerous PCs.

sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording

sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly

cause any problems with our standard GuiXT implementation?

Please tell me how we can enable logon screen changes via web repository when we work with 
RFCCurrentClient    Yes
When the logon screen comes up there is no client information, so the GuiXT changes on logon screen are not visible.

We are upgrading our operating system to Vista and the SAP GUI to 7.10. Do we also have to upgrade our GuiXT 2006 Q1 ?

I know that there are several places where GuiXT scripts can be located:
Local computer
Central File Server
SAP Web Repository
HTTP Server
FTP Server
I also know that I can give each user the same guixt.ini file that points to a central guixt.ini.
But which choice would you recommend for 700+ users?

We use an RfcConnect statement in our guixt.ini file:

RfcConnect ASHOST=sr5p44 SYSNR=00

This worked fine as long as we used only one system. How can we distinguish further systems in the RfcConnect statement, since we use a different application server and system number for these systems?

We realize that some special characters (e.g. a comma) are not possible as RFC password, i.e. the RFC connection does not work with them. Is there a workaround?

Is the following syntax of the SwitchTo statement correct when connecting to a network file:

SwitchTo “\\\\ac.basgs.com\\dfs\\group\\it\\guixt scripts\\guixt.ini”

(with regard to question 44): 
What about the fact that the “…\guixt scripts” folder has a “space” in the middle of it?  Can the ini file cope with this, or does the “space” need to be removed from the folder?
