Configuring the user acceptance window on a windows target

About this task

Configure the user acceptance window properties locally on the target if the target takes part in peer to peer sessions only. For a Windows target, you can edit the target registry to set the properties.

To configure the target properties on a Windows operating system, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Run regedit.exe
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Tivoli\Remote Control\Target
    On a 64- bit system all the 32-bit registry keys are under the WOW6432Node key. For example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\IBM\Tivoli Remote Control\Target.
  3. Choose the appropriate method for configuring the properties.
    • Set a custom default string
      1. Right-click the relevant property and select Modify.
        Note: For more information about the properties, see Configure the user acceptance window for a peer to peer session.
      2. Type in the string and click OK.
    • Create a locale-specific property
      1. Right-click the right pane and select New > String Value .
      2. Type in the name for the property along with the locale and press ENTER. For example, CustomConfirmTitle.fr.
      3. Right-click the new property and select Modify.
      4. Type in the string and click OK.
  4. Restart the BigFix® Remote Control target service.
    To add a custom icon to the acceptance window you can rename your file to CustomConfirmIcon.bmp and save the file to the directory defined in the WorkingDir target property.
    Note: The file must be 32 by 32 pixels in size and in BMP format.
