Disable Maya.env Files??

Hi,

I just sent an email to Autodesk asking the same question, but though i might get a faster response here.

Do to our internal pipeline, etc the Maya.env files that are located in the "C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\maya\2018\maya.env" location cause problems for us. Usually if they are empty or do not exist then its fine, but obviously, if the file is deleted, then Maya re-creates it on next start up. Its sporadic, and at times, users decide to enter their own data in there - things that should not be, and wrecks havoc on our pipeline. We do not use this file AT ALL - so i was curious if there is a way to force Maya to ignore that file. We use other Windows Env Variables to enable/disable other features and settings. Does Maya have a Windows Env Variable that i can push out through GPO to disable maya.env file all together?

For example, right now via GPO i have this varible pushed out to all workstations:

MAYA_ENABLE_LEGACY_VIEWPORT = 1

Is there something i can do similarly to disable maya.env files? Something like:

MAYA_DISABLE_ENV = 1

Thanks,

Mike
