Hi @AMiiMA,

To restore the configuration in the event of loss or server move, simply re-install Advanced Insights and copy the backup files into the same location, overwriting the blank database supplied by the installer. For more information, please see:

Thanks for sharing this!

The team is aware and created some bugs on their forum. Hopefully JetBrains can get this resolved soon.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Migrating Advanced Insights

Last post by AMiiMA - August 26, 2025, 05:36:03 AM

Hello,

I needed to move my AI to a different server and am seeking advice on backing up and restoring (migrating) the system rather than performing a fresh installation. It would be helpful to receive some guidance regarding this process. Both instances are running the same AI version; I just need clarification on which files or data should be transferred.
Best regards,
Aleks

Just to make you aware, all JetBrains software (PyCharm, CLIon, InteliJ etc) that is on version 2025.2 doesn't deploy start menu shortcuts.

This appears to be a bug caused by JetBrains them self due to the install location changing from %programfiles(x86)%\JetBrains to %Programfiles%\JetBrains.

This is my fix below, not the prettiest & you might need to change it depending on the apps you have installed.

Code Select Expand

$StartMenu = 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs'
$AppPath = 'C:\Program Files\JetBrains'
$FirewallRules = Get-NetFirewallRule


if(Test-Path -Path $AppPath)
{

    $apps = Get-ChildItem -Path $AppPath |Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

    foreach($App in $Apps)
    {

        $AppName = $App.Split(" ") | Select-Object -First 1           
        $AppExe = $AppName + '64.exe'

        if($AppName -eq 'IntelliJ'){ $AppExe = 'idea64.exe'}

        if(Test-Path "$StartMenu\$AppName.lnk"){Remove-Item -Path"$StartMenu\$AppName.lnk"}

        $shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
        $shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut("$StartMenu\$AppName.lnk")
        $shortcut.TargetPath = "$AppPath\$app\bin\$AppExe"
        $shortcut.Save()   

        if(!($FirewallRules | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq $App}))
        {
       
            New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName $App -Direction Inbound -Program $shortcut.TargetPath -RemoteAddress Any -Action Allow -Profile Domain

        }
       

     } # End Foreach Region


} # End If Region

Any update on this one? I've noticed a couple more apps doing this recently unfortunately I just deleted them mindlessly without taking note of names haha. Is it an underlying problem with the new publisher or app specific?]

Thanks

In case it is helpful to anyone, yesterday the new version installed itself without prompting and uninstalled the old version, so all is working as expected.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: Snagit 2024 to v2025

Last post by adrian.sidorof - August 20, 2025, 06:28:43 AM

I will revive this topic as i'm working right now on uninstalling all the versions that were previously installed(2022, 2023, 2024) and deploy the latest version with a Snagit Business license. I have some questions for which i didn't find an answer over the internetz
1. If i set the new version(Snagit latest x64 msi) as required for all the users will the Uninstall-Software.ps1 script uninstall whichever version might be on that machine? Or i will have to assign before each version for Uninstall for all the users and set this one for installation after ?
2. When the app is uninstalled the configurations/settings are kept by default or there is a command line param i have to define in order to keep those?
3. How can i register automatically the product when i install it with the TSC_SOFTWARE_KEY="product key" command line param in the Modify command line section? is there another cmd param that i have to use there?


I hope i will find a good soul to enlighten me on these topics.

Thanks
Adrian
