    Hi Nick,

    I was in contact with some OneStream guys from the support line and we did a lot of testing. Finally it´s a bug in V8.

    But there is a workaround: just create a username.txt file in c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\OneStream\Common\Settings\

     

    As soon as the username.txt file is present, the webserverurl.txt file does not get blanked out any more.

    Regard
    Martin

    johnal67 Our IT department pushed out updated text files to each users %appdata%\OneStream\Common\Settings folder using Microsoft SCCM.  We used the opportunity to ensure all users had the same addresses and app names for our Production and Development servers so overwrote all of the text documents in that location.

    Martin_Gebhartl just wanted to confirm your solution did work for us as well so thanks again!

Awesome, I'm going to look at that.  Am I correct that I need in my case "john alsobrook" needs to be in the username.txt file that has to match my OneStream Username, and not my userid such as "jalso0"?
