This issue has been solved. See solution.
What exactly does this mean?
Does it mean that the user will not get notifications in the bottom right hand corner from the SEP client icon? Such as Please restart or traffic blocked notifications??

its for all notifications
Display the notification area icon
Displays the client's notification area icon and its right-click menu.
Note: Unchecking that would not display the client icon too.

Rafeeq is exactly right. We
Rafeeq is exactly right. We gave admins this option so they could restrict users access to SEP via the system tray. Please look at the guide below if this is what you are trying to accomplish

My main objective was to stop
My main objective was to stop users from getting any notification such as "please restart your PC for application and device control policy to take affect" or "Traffic Blocked from ..."
I don't want users to see any of these as they panic and flood the helpdesk.

Well then checking this
Well then checking this should stop that notification from happening. Personally I think all admins should check this box anyway because it stops their users from having access to the icon in the system tray (thus making it harder to right click and select "disable symantec endpoint protection".
However I am assuming you are seeing this message on your users machines: "Traffic has been blocked from this application: NT Kernel & System (ntoskrnl.exe)". If this is the case you should be able to att ntoskrnl.exe as an exception and it will stop the message from being shown.
Test both of the above on a client and see if the error goes away. OR check the box to disable notifications.

Just got another question
Just got another question with regards to that.
Having the SEP out of the systray will keep users from disabling SEP.
But my problem is that some of my admin users would just get into services.msc and disable SEP from there.
Is there something to over ride this?
many thanks.

hi
you can use require a password to stop sep services.
as you can see , they cant stop symantec management client service.
there wont be an option to stop /start.
