Document management check out path, can this be set centrally for all users ? We are having issues with the check out path for document management, as default it goes to our onedrive. This causes issues. A solution we have found is changing the check out path to the local C: drive, but as far we found, this need to be set user per user. Is there a solution to change this once for all users ?

Hi,
The local check out path, for the benefit of others, is explained here, among other places:
http://docweb.corpnet.ifsworld.com/ifsdoc/Apps10/documentation/en/CreateAndMaintainDocument/AboutLocalCheckoutPath.htm?StandAlone=true
You don't need to set it unless you want to change the default value. If you change it (as per the documentation above), the path is saved in the following path of the Windows registry:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IFS\Document Management\Settings\DocumentFolder
Example:
It is possible to push registry values/settings to users' PCs by automatic means. It's not something we have documented but it should be something a capable IT dept. should be able to help out with. Perhaps in this way:

There is no built-in functionality for doing this "push", and there is also no alternative place to keep the local check out path.
Let me know if this helped.
Thanks!
