Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Administrator Guide - Nuance

Chapter 5: Installing Dragon using the Windows installer (MSI)
Modifying Roaming User Profile,
Miscellaneous, Schedule Settings in
the INI File
Suppose you have a large installation that involves several departments. Three departments
require one group of configure settings and two others require modifications. After you complete
the installation on the three departments requiring the same configuration, you might want to edit
your configuration files before using them on the additional two departments.
To edit the settings, you can use the natspeak command again. You can either return to the computer
where you carried out the initial installation to use natspeak or install the configuration from
the first three departments on the first computer in the two departments with different settings.
Modify the settings using:
n natspeak /setdefaultoptions
n natspeak /setdefaultadministrativeoptions
Then copy the new nsdefaults.ini file and roamingdef.ini files to a location accessible from all the
client computers to have the alternative configuration. For example, if you want these files to be
accessible to the MSI installer from a mapped network drive. copy the files to that location before
installing to the client PCs.
Or, if the Roaming User Profile network settings are not changing, you can edit any of the other
Roaming User Profile, Miscellaneous, and Scheduled Tasks settings of your configuration by rerunning
Dragon with any command listed above. (You cannot make changes to the roamingdef.ini
file, where the network settings reside.) Lists of the options in the nsdefaults.ini and roamingdef.ini
files are provided in the tables that follow:
Caution: Be sure to use the full path to the file if you set an option to an .ini file name.
Understanding and applying the
Roaming User Options
You can set Roaming User options during an MSI installation of Dragon NaturallySpeaking . In
the command line:
n Set the /SETDEFAULTS option to 1 display the Options dialog box at the end of the
installation. The Options dialog box lets you change Dragon’s standard behavior, including
specifying hot keys, customizing how text is formatted, changing initial microphone settings,
and setting the how often your User Profiles are backed up.
n Set the /SETADMINS option to 1 to display the Administrative settings dialog box at the end
of the installation. The Administrative settings dialog box lets you set up the Roaming feature.
