NOTE: If you have been deploying your configuration files locally and the Protocol is set to Local in the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM Application GUI and Import Configuration is set to Local in the Import Configuration dialog box of the WCM Client, you can switch back to a remote download of the configuration files. You must set the Protocol to FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS using the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM Application GUI. You must also ensure that you set the Import Configuration to Remote in the Import Configuration dialog box of the WCM Client. You cannot switch back to a remote download using only the Agent Settings dialog box of the WCM Application GUI.

NOTE: If the Import configuration on every boot option is selected, the WCM remote repository is discovered in the following order of preference DNS- SRV, DNS-Host,DHCP Options, Registry Settings in the remote settings. If none of the above are configured, then the Import configuration on every boot option is not implemented.

1For a device specific configuration or for a local user, if the WE8SConfig.xml, or WES7Config.xml, or WESConfig.xml fails to download from the remote path, check the configuration history for the same named latest configuration and apply that file.
