Custom Setting Payloads

Windows 10 offers a Configuration Service Provider interface to control various policies on the device. These CSPs are used by MDM providers like Scalefusion to provide device management capabilities. However, there are quite a lot of CSPs that control various settings and policies on the device. Since it is practically impossible to include support for all CSPs by providing a form or a UI, Scalefusion provides advanced IT Admins the option of creating their own CSPs and pushing them to the devices via Scalefusion.

By using the Custom Settings feature of a Scalefusion Windows Profile, IT Admins can use a top-notch XML editor and push a CSP directly to the devices. Scalefusion supports Add, Replace and Delete operations of CSP.
