Question
In the Altiris Agent's Software Delivery tab, the Option sidebar is not showing up or showing up. Is there a way to force it to show or not to show?
Environment
ITMS 8.x
Resolution
Answer You can hide/unhide the 'Options' sidebar in the Windows Registry.
Run regedit on the desired machine
Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Software Delivery
Edit the 'ShowOptions' DWORD and change the value to 1 (to unhide) or to 0 (to hide).
Close the Altiris Agent's Software Delivery window, and reopen it. The Agent does not need to be restarted.
You can hide/unhide the 'Options' sidebar when deploying the Altiris Agent by:
1. Set an additional parameter (there's a box called "Additional Parameters") on the Altiris Agent installation settings: a) Under SMP Console, go to Settings>All Settings>Agents/Plug-ins>Symantec Management Agent b) under Symantec Management Agent>Settings>Agent Install, click in 'Default Settings' button and under "Additional Parameters" add the following command line:
ShowOptions=0
