client connection status

SMI

Hi,

the manual of the SEC says that computers with the red cross are not reachable over the network.

So far so good. Anyhow I found some computers with a red cross which are reachable (ping) over the network.

We use SEC with Endoint Dataprotection Suite.

How about a symbol which implies not managed but connected to the network or in general a new column let's say "Network" telling the computer is connected or not. That would help me out very much.

Regards

Marcus

    Hello Marcus,

    Being a network engineer I know what I am talking about

    I didn't doubt this.

    In our environment every single client [...] is reachable by ping

    Thought as much as you mentioned ping. But then your devices likely don't respond if the are "off", do they?

    Anyway there might be more possibilities to check network connectivity

    Definitely there are - as said, the problem is a general, meaningful and reliable implementation of such a feature. Apart from this - do you have an estimate to how many clients this would apply? You said "some" (out of 6000) - of course you can't tell from SEC. Thinking about it - you could query the database for disconnected computers and feed them to a simple script.
