Print Immediate gets turned off

Most of our users have print immediate turned on. We've been having a problem for a few weeks where the jde.ini setting will re-set to False for some users. It's a recurring problem where it may be set to True for a few days and then turn off again. We don't know what is causing it to change.

Our users are all using Citrix / thin clients. Since not all users have print immediate turned on, we can't do any kind of a global setting.

Has anyone seen this before? Any hints on how to keep the jde.ini settings from changing seemingly on their own?

We're using unified logon and our users get a central stored jde.ini that will be copied to their profike at logon. so every time they logon they'll get a fixed ini which cannot be changed by the users themselves.

We have a PC login script that checks the NT user ID to see if they belong to a Print Only Group and if so the JDE INI gets modified for that user to set print immediate to TRUE. Now we have had some issues with this as well. Intermittent changing of this ini parameter from TRUE to FALSE. It never seems to be the other way around. My initial guess is there are some JDE actions that forces a retrieval of the base INI but we haven't been able to prove it. But we're hitting the 80/20 rule so this particular issue hasn't been a high priority.
