KACE Desktop Authority 11.3 - Release Notes

visual

The Visual tab is used to set the default graphical startup mode of Desktop Authority as it executes on the client during the logon and logoff process. One of three display types can be selected.

Note: The Visual object can only be modified by a Super User/Group.

During the logon sequence

Splash screen style

Select an option from the drop list to define how the Desktop Authority splash screen will be displayed on the client computer at logon.

Default graphic

Select this option to enable the default splash screen. This is a window that displays the logo along with a progress bar indicating the progress of the logon.

Displaying the default graphic during the logon process is the default option.

Custom graphic

Select this option to enable a custom graphic splash screen as the client logon request is processed.

This option requires clients to have Internet Explorer 4.0 or above. However, if Internet Explorer 4.0 has the Desktop Component Update (i.e. Active Desktop), only a progress bar will be displayed (no custom logo). 

Logo filename

Enter the location of the custom graphic to be displayed on the client at logon. Click Browse to locate the image file. The following graphic formats are supported: bmp, rle, gif, png and jpg. Once an image is selected, it will be copied to the SLSCRIPTS$ share. Click View to preview the image that will be displayed.

Specifying $weekday.ext in the entry (where ext is the graphic file extension), will display the image associated to the current day of week. For example, if $weekeday.bmp is entered in the Logo filename entry, on Monday, Monday.bmp will be displayed. On Tuesday, Tuesday.bmp will be displayed, and so on for the rest of the days of the week. If no associated weekday image is found, the default Desktop Authority image will be used. $Weekday is the only variable that may be used in this field.

Progress dialog location

Select the location of the progress bar dialog box from the list. Valid choices are Lower Right, Lower Left, Upper Right, Upper Left and Center.

The following three options are available when either choosing to display the default or a custom graphic:

Allow any client to override this setting and always display the text screen

Select this check box to override the selected option and allow a client to use the text logon screen for troubleshooting purposes.

On each specific client that will use a text logon screen, create a file called SLNOGUI. (no file extension). The presence of this file notifies Desktop Authority to display a text logon screen during the logon process.

Display only the progress dialog when logging on from a Terminal Server session

Select this check box to display a small progress dialog for Desktop Authority execution on Terminal Server sessions. This minimizes the amount of data to be sent from the Terminal Server to the client.

Display only the progress dialog when logging on over a dial-up connection

Select this check box to display a small progress dialog for Desktop Authority execution on clients that connect to the network via a dial-up connection. This minimizes the amount of data to be passed over the line and will speed up the logon process.

Informational text screen

Select this option to enable a text splash screen as the client logon request is processed.

This display is a great tool for troubleshooting. It provides information regarding the user, the computer and functions that are being processed as the logon script runs.

End of script completion message

Enter static text to be used as a message in the text splash screen when the logon process is complete. Dynamic variables may be used in conjunction with any text entered. Desktop Authority’s dynamic variable selection is available for this field by pressing the F2 key.

None

Select this option to disable all splash screens that would normally be displayed during the client logon process.

During the logoff sequence

Display progress graphic

Select this box to display a progress bar on the client during the logoff process. Clear this box to display no information on the client during the logoff process.
