I am in the process of migrating to Altiris CMS 7 and using the built in PCAnywhere client on the managed nodes, however my WAN links are DSL and I want PCA to default to low-bandwidth 256 color for my connection, every connection defaults to high bandwidth and there does not appear to be a setting in Altiris for this setting. 

Also, would is there any way to prevent Quick Connect from installing on the clients?  I don't want my users to see Quick Connect at all - I know I can remove the shortcuts, but there should be a way to prevent it from installing.

Hi, Your first query about

Hi,

Your first query about low bandwidth connection, pcAnywhere has autodetect bandwidth setting by default. Even you have choice to reduce or increase bandwidth through edit/online option after connection (while in session).

About your second query, currently there is no option to bypass quick connect while installation. Symantec is aware of this issue and possibly this would be consider in solution SP1 timeframe.
