Client Settings Hierarchy in MECM

Question

I'm looking to understand how MECM client settings are combined at the client when multiple client settings bundles are applied? Is there a hierarchy reference or the like? The guide here simply states its complex but gives no detail :(

For example, say a have a Boolean setting available to me in the client settings. I create a client settings config CS1 and set it to true and another CS2 that does not set it at all. I apply both policies to a client. It seems CS1 settings for that boolean take effect so the policies are merged at least.

Answer 1

When you create custom client settings, you set the priority. The setting and the value applies according to this set priority.

Answer 2

Hi,

Priority goes from 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then .... 10000.

The custom setting with Number 1 will happen last, aka overwrite custom setting with Number 2, 3… and then the default ones.
(1 = Highest priority, 10000 = Lowest priority)

Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.
