Koldov Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi All, Can anyone please give me an explanation of how this computer ended up in my SOLUS 3? Just installing SIMS on a laptop via SOLUS 3 and noticed a strange computer name in Environment > Agents > Agents It isn't one of our computer names and we also have no Windows 8.1 pro clients on site! What do I do? Just delete it? But how did it get there? Kol.
tech_guy Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Do you have remote access set up for your staff? With a bit of trickery it's possible to join a PC to AD if you know how if you don't have admin rights.
Koldov Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) No remote access... It doesn't show in AD either, only in SOLUS and only in Environment and Agents! Could SOLUS pick up a visiting teachers laptop or something? The IP is definitely from our WIFI VLAN probably given out by DHCP, it's offline in SOLUS and ping gives a timeout. Should I just remove it in SOLUS? Anyone know how it would have got there? Kol. Edited January 23, 2015 by Koldov
tech_guy Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Do you by any chance have a member of staff called Ruth or Russell Hamshar? Edited January 23, 2015 by tech_guy
Koldov Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Do you by any chance have a member of staff called Ruth Hamshar? Not that I'm aware of! Nice shout though, I'll go and ask reception if anybody with that name or Rhamsha R or any combination has visited recently...
SHimmer45 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 has someone run the agent installer from the server hosting solus / sims
Atomic_Zombie Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I might be wrong but to get in that list doesn't it have to be added as a SIMS/FMS target first?
SHimmer45 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 dont believe so if the agent is installed from the package created by SOLUS3 its fire and forget so to speak. which is how our staff laptops have SOLUS installed on them from this package, they just appear as the agent polls the server.
Koldov Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 they just appear as the agent polls the server. So, do you think this is possible then? Could SOLUS pick up a visiting teachers laptop or something?
SHimmer45 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 could be if the teacher has installed the agent / the agent has been installed on the laptop. if the agent hasnt been installed then it cant appear in the agents list, anything on the network at the time can appear as a target iirc (not been using solus 3 that long and the interface is a little odd at times )
