Hi guys

Basically I would like to sorce the sync client to always be running regardless of whether SLX LAN Client is running and whether or not they are logged onto the remote client.

We have a situation where the remote users are at the office and want to be able to log onto the live system, I still want their sync client running in the background to avoid duplicate quote numbers etc that have been cropping up.

What would be the best route to take to auto start and auto log their sync clients?

SalesLogix Remote Client includes Autosync.

That being said, I think that the problem you may have is that AutoSync uses the Last Connection String and that may cause problems as you would be logging directly into the LAN.

One way may be to restrict update permissions on the Registry key that controls the AutoSync execution, but am not sure if that would cause any problems (or at least error messages) elsewhere:

My computer\HKEY_USERS\...........\Software\Microsoft?\Windows\\CurrentVersion\Run 

Value name: SyncClient.exe

Value Data: C:\Program Files\SalesLogix\SyncClient.exe /b"SLXREMOTE" /NOSPLASH

In the sample shown above, the Remote connection is called "SLXREMOTE" (the default value for it), but it may vary depending on how you configured your remote clients. As stated, making this entry read-only may help you (again, if using auto-sync).
