GlobalProtect Client Startup

After installing the Global Protect Client on our Windows 7 laptops, every time our users start their machines once they login to our network on the LAN the Global Protect Client pops up and wants to connect. Is there a way to supress that popup when the computer starts?

This is a major issue that needs to be addressed as we are not using the SSO functionality of this client.  Our users are getting frustrated by having to close out an application every time they log into their laptop...I will contact my SE as instructed but felt like it needed to be stated here as well for others. 

What about simply removing the "run" key for GlobalProtect from the startup items.  This is really only an issue if you are using "On Demand" access which the user expects to manually access the software anyway...

By design, GP client pops up to connect. Please contact your SE for a feature request to include a disable option to prevent the pop up.

I am new to the Palo Alto discussion groups. Please explain..."contact your SE"

Thanks

Justin,

We did as you suggested, we changed to "On-Demand" mode...problem solved.

Thanks

I finally understand how this works from one of the tech-notes. The default configuration after installation is SSO, and the mode is set to on-demand only after a login to the portal. The problem is, when we roll-out the software it gets installed on everyone's PCs including some non-VPN users as well. So, these users just click cancel but the pop-up appears every time they reboot. Is there an installation option that sets the login as on-demand as default?

     Did you ever get an answer to this question?

No, we just got everyone to logon at least once to get the "on-demand" configuration. The list of gateways (portal license/multiple gateways) also downloads to a local cache, so the logon helps with this too.
