Hi All,

I'm a newbie on Fortinet product.  I have manually installed the FortiClient on Win10 using the installer from the Fortinet website and I noticed that the client allows the user to manually disconnect it from EMS server.  How can I disable the button?

Thanks in advance

    Although we use EMS there are a couple of ways of protecting FortiClient being disconnected. You can apply a password to FC which a user would need to enter in order to make any changes, or in our case disconnect from EMS. Doesn't sound like you're registering the client to either EMS or a FortiGate but you can also stop users from 'unregistering'.

     

    The setting in EMS is "Require Password to Disconnect From EMS" but there will be a config line which achieves the same.

    Thanks.  We have EMS server and the Forticlient is registered to the EMS.  I just don't know yet the steps on how to deploy the Forticlient from the EMS that is why i installed it manually.  I have searched the admin guide and found the deployment guide, i will give it a go.

    Deployment is simple, you need to create a new 'profile' under "Endpoint Profiles", "Local Profiles". Once you've done that you'll see a tab called "Deployment" and that's where you define which installer to use, a time to install and an AD account that has local admin rights on the PC you'd like to install FC. Here's one of ours.
