Planning for Client Settings in Configuration Manager
Use client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device
settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configuration options such as the hardware
inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.
All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are
automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default
client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for
specific users or devices. When you create a set of custom client settings, you must assign it to one
or more collections for the settings to be applied to the collection members. If you apply multiple
sets of custom client settings to the same user or device, you can control the order in which these
settings are applied according to the order that you specify. Custom device or user settings with an
Order value of 1 are always processed last and will override any other configurations. The Default
Client Settings has a permanent order of 10,000, which ensures it is always applied before any
custom settings are applied. When there is a conflict of settings, the client setting that was applied
last (with the lower order value) overrides any previous settings. You can view the resultant client
settings for a user or a device by using the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager reports.

How to Configure Client Settings in Configuration Manager
You manage all client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager from the Client Settings
node in the Administration workspace of the Configuration Manager console. Modify the default
settings when you want to configure settings for all users and devices in the hierarchy that do not
have any custom settings applied. If you want to apply different settings to just some users or
devices, create custom settings and deploy these to collections.Note:You can also use configuration items to manage clients to assess, track, and remediate the
configuration compliance of devices.

Really not sure:
-Create a new set of custom client agent settings for the marketing department and include the
custom registry information.
– Edit ClientSettings2 and include the custom registry information. <— probably not, because editing
isn’t that easy.
It is common sense, that you just add another client setting and deploy it to the collection.
Why? All settings can be separately deleted and especially named. Easier to handle.
