Some services can’t start if the SQL Server service or the ZyGo service isn't running, so you want to make sure that SQL Server and ZyGo start as the first services after a server restart.

The startup type for the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service is set to Automatic by default.

To set the startup type for the ZyGo service to automatic, do the following:

1. In the Deployment Manager menu, select Deployment > Windows Services

2. Select Zygo

3. In the Change Startup Type box, select Automatic

4. Click Change Startup Type

You can set startup type to AutomaticDelayed for the services that depend on SQL server or ZyGo. SQL server and ZyGo will start immediately when the server boots, and the rest of the services will then start a few minutes after.

The ZyDesk.ini file contains information about the SQL server host, port, user name, password, and ZyDB database name. ZyDesk clients require this file to work, and a copy of the file must be placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc\ZyDesk\ZyDesk.ini

To create the ZyDesk.ini file:

1. In the Deployment Manager menu, select Database > ZyDB > ZyDesk

2. Make sure that Include tunnel server address is cleared

3. Click Generate encrypted file

4. Save the ZyDesk.ini file in C:\Zylinc install\Release_6.5u4.12\Release_6.5u4.12\4_ZyDesk

If you can't, or don't want to, use the ZyDesk.ini file, you can, alternatively, click Generate registry file, and then use a third-party tool to distribute that registry key to your clients.

If you can't place the ZyDesk.ini file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc\ZyDesk folder, or if different users of a shared computer need different ZyDesk.ini files, you can, alternatively, place copies of the file in the following folders in the user profiles for each of the users: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Zylinc\Zydesk\Zydesk.ini. Tip: If you need to do this, the %appdata% environment variable is useful because it takes you directly to the Roaming folder.

Send two files to people who are going to install ZyDesk on Windows client computers.

Different people may manage the installation of clients, terminal servers, or Citrix servers. Remember to send the client software to all of them.

Find the following two files in C:\Zylinc install\Release_6.5u4.12\Release_6.5u4.12\4_ZyDesk, and send them to relevant people:

• ZyDesk_AllUserInstaller.msi

• ZyDesk.ini

You can zip the folder and send it in an e-mail.

Tell the receivers to make sure that .Net Framework on computers running ZyDesk, is updated to at least version 4.7.1.

Then tell the receivers to first install the client software with the .msi installer, and then copy the ZyDesk.ini file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc\ZyDesk\ZyDesk.ini

If you can't, or don't want to, use the ZyDesk.ini file, you can, alternatively, click Generate registry file, and then use a third-party tool to distribute that registry key to your clients.

If you can't place the ZyDesk.ini file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc\ZyDesk folder, or if different users of a shared computer need different ZyDesk.ini files, you can, alternatively, place copies of the file in the following folders in the user profiles for each of the users: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Zylinc\Zydesk\Zydesk.ini. Tip: If you need to do this, the %appdata% environment variable is useful because it takes you directly to the Roaming folder.

1. Open the folder C:\Zylinc install\Release_6.5u4.12\Release_6.5u4.12\4_ZyDesk

2. Locate ZyDesk_AllUserInstaller.msi

3. Run the installer (it can be quick)

4. Copy ZyDesk.ini to C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc\ZyDesk\ZyDesk.ini
