Disable Global Protect Auto Start on Windows

L0 Member

Anyone know how to disable the Global Protect agent auto start on windows machines?

 

We want our users to have to manually start Global Protect when they need/want to connect to the VPN while out of the office, instead of it starting itself and trying to connect the VPN automatically.

 

We are sure its a regedit key but can't seem to find it in the Admin guide.

 

Apprecaite your support.

Go to your portal configuration, select Agent, select your agent configuration, select the App tab, and then set the Connect Method to "On Demand". This doesn't prevent the agent from starting up when Windows boots up but it won't attempt to establish the VPN unless the user specifically triggers it.

Thank you for your quick responce.

 

I was also able to find an MSI configuration item, which we have applied and tested works as required.
