Does anyone have a recommendation on how to manage menu
customizations for sw users across mutiple sites?
Bascially what we want to do is be able to deploy sw consisently across many sites with the same system options, dot files and menu customizations including which toolbars are displayed, toolbar location and contents of toolbars (meaning which buttons are included on the toolbar).
Not all the sites will get the same customizations; for example sites A, B, C may get customization 1 and sites D, E and F may get customization 2, and so on....
And this will just happen at new software release but also when adding a new client to a particular site; they would get a generic install of sw then have their machine "tweaked" for their particular customizations.
Thanks in advance for any comments

I think you could just use the Copy Settings Wizard. You would have to set up Solidworks for Config. A and then save the settings with that name. Then, change the settings for Config B and save it. You have to exit SW each time to use the Settings Wizard. Then, restore the settings on the client machines for whatever config they needed.
I have done something similar with my desktop and lap top. I have one configuration but apply it to both computers.
Hope this helps,
