Moving settings to new machine

We have gotten several new machines on our development team and would like to move our Vault settings to the new PCs. How can we do that? Especially the working folder settings.

Vault has no client configuration file. Nearly all client options are stored on the Vault server side, in the MS SQL Server database. It might be possible to use a SQL Query to identify a "template" that could be used to create a query to set all clients to the same options. But this is error prone.

The quickest way would just to do this manually -- perhaps take screenshots of the current settings.

Working Folder information is stored in client-side cache files, but those don't transfer well, either. I'd suggest setting a parent folder that corresponds to the parent on the other machine, and set subfolders to inherit.
