 +====== Custom Profile Attachments ======
  
 +
 +//Available for: Windows 2.1.3 clients and later.// ​
 +
 +
 +The Custom Profile Attachments feature enables you to attach any necessary scripts and executable files to an Open Mobile profile. (Previously,​ these files and scripts would have to be distributed separately.) ​ Custom Profile Attachments may be used for Custom VPN launches or special actions (such as an Event Action or Quick Launch) that require a separate script or executable file.
 +
 +
 +Custom Profile Attachments will be located in this folder: ''​C:​\ProgramData\NGC\Open Mobile\<​Profile ID>​%%\%%Custom''​. You can also use the variable ''​$$Var:​CustomDir$$''​ to reference that directory in your Event Action or Custom VPN commands.
 +
 +===== New Windows 2.1.3 or Later Profile =====
 +
 +You should only add Custom Profile Attachments to newly created Windows 2.1.3 or later profiles. Adding Custom Profile Attachments to a profile that you are migrating from a previous version could prevent the attachment from downloading properly (depending on when attachment is added and when the user upgrades). See [[:​custom_profile_attachments|Custom Profile Attachments]] for more information.
 +
 +
 +===== Attachment Types =====
 +
 +
 +You can attach any file or script that meets the size limit requirement:​ 1 MB per file and a total of 2 MB for the folder. Note that there is no way of validating that the attached files function as intended, ​ and, as a result, you should test any Custom Profile Attachments before deploying the profile to users.
 +
 +
 +You should not use Custom Profile Attachments for files or scripts that stay in use for extended periods of time (or do not have a way of automatically exiting). If the attachment is running during a profile update, it will cause the profile update to fail (because it will not be able to update the file in use).
