Set RMS/Recast Cloud URL by Policy

As a Right Click Tools administrator, you can pre-define a default Recast Management Server/Recast Cloud URL using a registry value. Setting the URL ahead of time prevents RCT Browser Extension users from having to manually configure this browser extension setting in order to run multi-device actions and some advanced features, like the System Information side panel

NOTE: A registry-defined value will not overwrite an existing user-configured RMS URL.

Minimum Right Click Tools version: 5.12.2609.1102

To set the RMS/Recast Cloud URL in the Registry:

Set the ServerUri value in the Registry key for the browser you're using:

  • Edge - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\<policy_name>\policy
  • Chrome - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\<policy_name>\policy

Forcing a quicker policy update

Browsers are sometime delayed in updating the policy cache, so you might not see the policy URL right away. 

To force a policy update:

  • Close all browser windows and reopen them. Navigate to the browser's policy settings and click Reload policies.
  • Reboot the computer.
