Does anyone know a way to hide the ISA 2004 FW client other than by manually ticking the "Hide icon in notification area...." tick box? Can it be done with the registry or by editing a text file? Or perhaps a GPO?
None of this stuff works, I have used the goto to the %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Firewall Client 2004 and edit Common.ini
add following section
[TrayIcon] TrayIconVisualState=1
and it does not do anything, so then I tried it in the other .ini file Management.ini i think anyways that didn't work either.
So is there something I am missing here? do my workstations have to be SP2? (they are anyways) My ISA Server2004 is on W2k3 SP1
Getting frusterated with this lack of configuration BS first I tried the .msi install thru a GPO but soon found out the the stupid configuration box for the client came up for EVERY USER! so now I have to go to 200+ plus computers and install the FW manually, so that won't happen but now I am coming across this problem GRRRRRRRRR. Help please.
Basically, you just need to delete the shortcut from the StartUp Start Menu folder. If you're deploying the client using group policy, you can use the .MST file at www.scottes.com/MS_FWC.zip
