Question

Customize catalog location

I am using a third party deployment solution, and I need to have lightroom look to a different location for the catalog file.  Is there a way to modify the install to have lightroom look to this new location for all the computers i run the deployment on?

    In preferences you can set LRCC to store copies locally rather than use the default cache. But you need to specify a drive or external hard drive. I’m not sure about silent install deployment but you would probably need a separate folder for each user. I prefer the default cache which is more efficient e.g. local copies are eventually replaced by proxies optimized for computer/device.

    I need to make the change in the catalog location prior to install or would need a way to copy a preference file to each computer to set the new location.  Your suggestion would work but would require me to touch every machine...

    You must be referring to Lightroom Classic CC, because with Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) you have no control over where the catalog is stored. The catalog is stored in the cloud.
