The ManagementStudio client executable supports a number of switches for customising the way the client runs. The easiest way of applying the switches is to modify the desktop shortcut for the client by right-clicking it, and clicking Properties. The Target can then be amended as follows.
| Switch | Description |
|---|---|
| -IgnoreSslErrors True | If the ManagementStudio website is running over SSL but a certificate is not present, this will force the client to ignore certificate errors |
-ServerUrl "http://mstudio.corp" | When the shortcut is clicked, it will connect to the specified server URL. This can be useful if you need to connect to different servers, so a shortcut can be created for each server. |
-BypassProxy True | This will force the client to bypass the internet proxy server |
| -ProjectId 1 | Specify which Project and/or Module should be opened. The ID of the project can be viewed in Admin -> Project Settings |
| -ModuleId 1 | 1 = Applications 2 = User Migrations 3 = Devices 4 = Mailboxes 5 = Bespoke |
| -SecurityProtocol Tls12 | Tls11 | Tls | Specify a security protocol |
Note that it's possible to combine multiple switches in a single shortcut.
