Summary: Currently, if the parallel processing is set in ArcMap Environments, this setting can only be saved to a mxd, and will need to be reset for each new mxd. The user would like to do a mass install and set the default parallel processing for all users, which they cannot do currently

More details:

- In ArcMap, go to the menu Geoprocessing > Environments > Parallel Processing
- Setting the value of Parallel Processing will save this change only in the currently open Map Document (MXD)
- Deploying this change to a large number of users is very difficult because it requires every user to use this specific map document.
- This change can't be deployed via an MXT document.
- Saving this change in a registry key, an ArcMap profile file, or MXT will make it possible to deploy this change to a large number of users.

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
