How to disable Goverlan Features

The Goverlan Remote Administration Suite includes a large set of features. If you do not wish a set of users to access the Scope Actions, Chat and WMIX features, you can disable these features using the registry or a group policy object.

Disabling features using Group Policy

Goverlan includes a Group Policy Administrative Template which can be used to control Goverlan settings globally (see: Distributing Settings Using a Group Policy Object). Once the Goverlan Group Policy Administrative Template has been registered, open the Goverlan Universal Settings >> Goverlan Management Console Settings container:

The policy template includes three settings used to disable the Scope Actions, WMIX and Chat features.

Note: The Chat feature is available from both the Goverlan Management Console and the Goverlan Remote Control programs. You must configure the 'Do not allow chat access' option in both the 'Goverlan Management Console Settings' and 'Goverlan Remote Control Interface' containers to completely disable this feature.

Disabling features using the Registry

Use the following registry references to disable a Goverlan feature on a machine. Note: If the registry keys that are specified do not exist, you must create them.

Under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\PJ Technologies\GoverLAN Universal Settings\GMC

REG_DWORD :: DSA = [ 0 | 1 ]

REG_DWORD :: disableWMIXfeature = [ 0 | 1 ]
