Hide Firewall client in taskbar

[Mturner]

Hi,

Been looking at this for a while, lots of time spent sitting in front of regmon!.

I need a way to hide the firewall client icon in the system tray, im aware you can tick the box to hide the icon when connected, however, i need a way of enableing this automaticly.

any ideas?

thanks

Marc

I would not recommend to do so because of The new configuration information for the Firewall and Web Proxy clients is stored on the ISA firewall. By default, the Firewall and Web Proxy clients automatically update their configuration every six hours. You can force the clients to update their configuration immediately by restarting the client computer, or you can use the Firewall client application to force the update. This is one of the many reasons why you never want to hide the Firewall client icon in the system tray.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply.

I feel there a need, as 90% of users have every intention to break the network, therefore this needs to be hidden...

thanks...

Well ... It's not possible to brake the network by configuring / misconfiguring ISA Client. The one thing a user can do it to brake its own PC.

Good luck!
