Most AB Tutor settings (including policies and groups etc.) are stored in a file called ABControl.xml. Under XP this file is located in the folder in which AB Tutor was installed, in operating systems up to and including XP you'll find this file in c:\program data\abconsulting\ab tutor control. In Windows 7 this will be found in c:\program data\abconsulting\ab tutor control. After you have configured one Tutor program you can copy this file to other Tutor installations so you don’t need to re-enter all the settings each time, by using a command line parameter you can specify where the ABControl.xml file is located. This allows you to save the file on a shared network drive so all Tutor Control programs can use the same file.
We recommend you protect this file from being changed inadvertently by other Tutor programs and that only the network administrators have control over the settings. Make the file Read Only by using normal NTFS security. Also, for security reasons, only allow known teachers access to this network folder.
