Rescue and Recovery interface switching
The Rescue and Recovery user interface provides the option to switch between the
simplified user interface and the advanced user interface. The simplified user
interface has a few basic options, while the advanced user interface has extended
options. By default, you will see the simplified user interface each time Rescue and
Recovery is started unless the setting is disabled.
If the Simple User Interface setting is disabled, the advanced user interface will be
displayed each time Rescue and Recovery starts. You can disable the simplified
user interface at the following Active Directory policy:
ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\User Interface\Simple User Interface
You can disable interface switching so that a user will not be able to switch
between the two interfaces. To disable the interface switching, set the following
Active Directory policy to Disabled:
ThinkVantage\Rescue and Recovery\User Interface\Interface Switching
For additional information about Rescue and Recovery settings and working with
Active Directory and Group Policy, see the see the accompanying XML/ADM
Supplement for the deployment guide located on the ThinkVantage Technologies
