	Remote Configuration Location (Professional Edition Only)
	The Remote Configuration Location is used to move the configuration files to a central location where they can be shared by multiple workstations. This allows the setup and maintenance of multiple workstations without having to modify each workstation separately The remote location is typically on a server or a master computer in a peer-to-peer network Each time the Configuration Console is opened, or a user logs in, the configuration files are copied from the remote location.
