Hi everyone,

Is it possible to hide or remove the TRC GUI icon system tray and on client side still can pop up client accept box?

Thank You,

Hi,

This is not possible at the moment. As documented here (
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21597153)
you can disable the target GUI so the icon doesn’t show but that will also disable the acceptance prompts.

If this is an option you’d like to have available in the product in the future, please open a Request For Enhancement (RFE). You can submit new RFEs at:

Thank Jose,

I have a idea for temporary solve this .

My plan,

  1. After install Target fixlet - create fixlet set the “IBM Endpoint Manager for Remote Control - Target”

service type to manually and stop the service. – I test manually stop the services the TRC icon will disappeared from system tray.

  1. When want to remote, at the console right click TRC to the client with net start the “IBM Endpoint Manager for Remote Control - Target” service – ( in registry 'ShellCommandRelevance" how to add in NET START “IBM Endpoint Manager for Remote Control - Target” service follow by data "%22C:\Program Files\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Controller\jre\bin\javaw.exe%22 -jar %22C:\Program Files\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Controller\TRCConsole.jar%22 --host " & hostname of current computer?)

  2. Create fixlet to check “IBM Endpoint Manager for Remote Control - Target” service start. When my fixlet relevance wait for 1 hour auto stop the service. – this fixlet set to never expire.

Your Prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

I’m not sure how well this would work, but could try using the command separator && between the commands to start the service and to launch the RC Controller.

But note that in your example you would be starting the Target service in the machine where you are running the IEM Console, not the machine you want to connect to. To start the service remotely, you’d need to use “sc \machine start TRCTARGET” where machine would be generated by the relevane “hostname of current computer”. So in this case your ShellCommandRelevance would be something like this:

“sc \” & hostname of current computer & " start TRCTARGET %26%26 %22C:\Program Files\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Controller\jre\bin\javaw.exe%22 -jar %22C:\Program Files\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Controller\TRCConsole.jar%22 --host " & hostname of current computer

You’d also need to ensure that you don’t need to enter any additional credentails and you might need to configure your target endpoints to allow the remote service start.

I think there might also be a timing issue in that even though the service starts, the controller might be started too quickly and fail to establish a connection because the service was not yet ready to accept the connection.
