When you set HCFA margins in CPS10, where is that information actually stored? I've looked through the database, in the PC registry, in the file system, etc., and I can't find where this info is stored.
Thanks, Chris

In each user's registry. The margin offsets should be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GE\CentricityPM\10.0\CentricityPM\Reports\Offsets and the default printer is in a similar location at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GE\CentricityPM\10.0\CentricityPM\Reports\Printers (where CentricityPM is your database name). Each report has an ID as its name so I set the values in CPS first then check to see what was done in the registry.

Has anyone ever figured out a good way to push these settings out to users? I usually have to wait until the user has logged into the PC at least once before I can set for them.

It could be something you set up on your domain. If you already have a logon script set up for all your users, you can put commands there to add it. Creating a GPO is also a great option.

I found that the HCFA margin data is in HKCU registry hive. The registry entries aren't created until the user logs on to CPS and sets a margin. I worked up a way to export all registry entries for all users of a PC.
I found that if you aren't very skilled at working with the registry to include loading and unloading user profiles you probably aren't going to be able to just blow out settings for your users.
