FlexEngine Command-Line Arguments

FlexEngine supports the following command-line arguments to refresh settings or launch elevated tasks.

Tip: The example path to FlexEngine.exe is based on the default installation directory. The default directory does not apply in the following cases.

• You selected a different directory when you installed Dynamic Environment Manager.
• Dynamic Environment Manager was installed as part of another installation.

For example, if you used the Horizon Cloud Import Image workflow or the Horizon Agent Installer to install  Dynamic Environment Manager for a virtual machine located in Microsoft Azure, the installation path is different. For details, see _Creating Desktop Images for a Horizon Cloud Pod in Microsoft Azure_ in the _First-Gen Tenants - Horizon Cloud Administration Guide_ at [Omnissa Product Documentation](https://docs.omnissa.com/).

If Dynamic Environment Manager is installed in a non-default directory, adjust the path accordingly.

-DirectFlexRefresh

DirectFlex configuration is processed during logon. If you add Flex configuration files with DirectFlex enabled, or modify DirectFlex-related settings of existing files while a user is logged on, these changes are not automatically picked up during the session.

This behavior might not be a problem, but you can force an update by running the following command in the user's session:

"C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" -DirectFlexRefresh

-UemRefresh

User environment settings are applied at logon, while computer environment settings are applied at boot. For certain types of settings, you can perform a refresh while the user is logged in.

Refresh Operations

-LaunchTask

With privilege elevation, you can define elevated tasks. You can launch elevated tasks with a command such as the following.

"C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" -LaunchTask "name-of-task" 

For more information about elevated tasks, see the Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager Administration Guide.
