DMA allows administrators to create detailed application-specific configurations and customization options. It simplifies the administrator's job by allowing him/her to create individually tailored implementations of DCS 8 from one easy and intuitive installation of the product. DMA then automatically propagates customized application settings to each individual user via the registry. Administrators can also utilize DMA to export any DCS 8 supported files, also by user. Note: Before using DMA, install and run DCS 8 and make any modifications to sessions, toolbars or other configurable options. Save any files you plan to distribute to users.
