hi

I have about 5000 computers not connecting out of 6500... Seems like a trust issue. i run a batch file that support provided me with seems to work. i run a psexec coomand and now will put it in a login script for other computers

Anybody had the same issue?

i'm thinking it might be a certificate when I tried running the new agent install...

thanks

Yea but mine was caused by the VPN client installed on the machines for a vpn that was offline.  For some reason Konea would report in and give the kbox the address of the vpn nic as the primary route to communicate to the client with and since they were not using that nic on the client side they would orphan themselves.

see my answer under for screen shot detail of the network config kace was using vs what it needed to use

  • oh ok. Seems like a known bug. Thanks - psaussey 4 years ago
    • I ended up using Kix on login to disable the vpn service and then the machines reported in with correct primary nic and then I was able to use MI to uninstall the cisco vpn software. - SMal.tmcc 4 years ago
