Keep me remotely connected

I would like to write a group policy to turn of the "keep me remotely connected" check mark on the essentials tray app. We have a number of laptop users who wok at locations where the VPN connection is not required and yet it always auto connects unless this check mark is manually removed.

If anyone knows where in the registry or elsewhere this value is saved I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Geoff

I am not aware of any policy that can be used to steer this behaviour but if we know the registry setting we can still push that using that specific registry setting. Do you know what it is?

    You can steer this behaviour by changing this registry setting through a Group Policy entry on your server and deply it to the clients you want.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Server\EssentialsTrayApp]
"TestIconType"=dword:00000000
"CurrentRWAAddress"="remote.numinous-travel.com"
"FirstTimeDialVpn"=dword:00000000
"AutoDialVpn"=dword:00000000

    Setting "FirstTimeDialVpn"=dword:00000000 disables it. Setting it to "FirstTimeDialVpn"=dword:00000001 enabled it
