Hi everyone,I have a question as I'm preparing for this. I've been looking into the BeyondTrust EPM on-prem solution, and it says that it pre-bundled if deployed through the UVM appliance. My question is, If I only want the on-prem EPM solution and don't want Password Safe at all, how can we achieve that? I know we can disable the Password Safe features, but that only disables the functionality, the Password Safe section still appears in the admin console. Do you have any other methods you can suggest, such as a way to completely remove or hide it? Thanks

HelloOne feature of On-Prem EPM which I have not yet found a clear explanation in the documentation is how Global Priority actually works in on prem EPM. While I understand that it has to be configured when there is a default organization - a detailed explanation on  how it works (in relation to organizations) appears to be missing.

I just switched from a local server to a hosted solution. In the past I was able to install a Jump Client on machines and set it so I could connect without anyone accepting the connections. When I set it up not, I am missing something, and the client needs to accept before I can connect. Can someone tell me where I need to make the change so I can create a Jump Client that will allow me to connect without anyone accepting? Thanks for any help. Kevin

I have exhausted my exam attempts for Endpoint Privilege Management - Windows: Administration Exam? How can I get another attempts for this?

When upgrading EPM by deploying the latest version and allowing it to upgrade silently, we have seen that the fingerprint reader and camera stop working until a reboot is performed. Has anyone seen this issue before?Ideally we want to upgrade the agent silently with no reboot, without affecting the fingerprint reader and camera. If there is no alternative, we will need to prompt the user to reboot.We used the same upgrade method for the last upgrades we did and didn’t see this issue before.Thanks.

We all appreciate the new feature of having a dedicated Event Logs file for BeyondTrust Privilege Management Events. However, consider this: the default log size is just 1028KB—only enough to store approximately 100 to 300 events, which is far too small.I've submitted a feature request to increase the default log size to 20MB. I also suggested either merging the IC3 Adapter logs into the same log file or add switch that can turn some of the excessive auditing off, as they tend to flood the logs the Application event logs, or creating a better strategy for managing their volume.https://beyondtrust-public.ideas.aha.io/ideas/T2EPM-I-2132Application Event Logs

Is it possible to point different policy to the same endpoint if I have multiple environment? I have a Prod and a Test Environment. At the moment, I install the Production Package Manager on endpoint 1 if I want to deploy the prod policy but if I want to do a test or play around with some policies from Test environment, I have to uninstall the Prod app installed on endpoint 1 and install it the Test instance definition for the Test PkgMgr. Is there an easier way to do this instead of doing the uninstall/reinstall pkg? I have seen one time from the vendor support showing me two different policies running from one machine. You can view this when you refresh your BT policy and it showed the two different Active policies at the top. I believe that would be adding the policy xml on the same folder where it sits inside the DPC Cache folder.

HI Team, I am trying to configuring the EPM for windows .Can any one please provide me the process of exclusions. Thanks. 

Hello! is there any way to allow users in high flex to uninstall any applications using Windows Add/Remove Programs option. This should be default behavior and we will add apps in a deny list which they should not be able to remove. Certain apps have additional protections and users wont be able to remove those even if we don’t have them in EPM deny list

Did the Power Rule for Privilege Management for Windows become obsolete with the introduction of the Application Rule filter option?Absolutely not. Power Rules are indeed more powerful that what is documented and brings many more options, to cover a “lack” of functions or new innovation.I frequently encounter scenarios where customers struggle to capture batch files, registry files, or other unusual launches that show up in our analytics from client machines they can’t access.To address this, I developed a PowerShell script to be used as a Power Rule. My objective was to collect these uncommon `.bat`, `.cmd`, `.ps1`, `.reg`, and `.vbs` files which may pose unknown threats or conflict with software restriction policies etc.In the script, I defined the target file extensions and used:Get-PRVariable -Name "PG_PROG_PATH"to retrieve the file and path. If the f

Hi Beyond Trust community,I have a couple of Beyond Trust - Endpoint Privilege Management suggestions that I would like to share please: We recently found many devices had become disconnected from the EPM Console due to them being deleted. This was likely due to inactivity, where many machines were built in advance of a laptop migration and kept in storage. From the machines, it was not obvious there was a problem until some devices started to show symptoms that were fixed in an earlier policy revision. When the machine is checked, it still had an old policy revision listed. This means even our latest block rules were not working on these devices. To mitigate this issue, we would find the following agent features extremely useful:Feature Request: Ability to check policy name and revision in the Windows Registry / file or WMI etc.Reason: We can keep an active deployment that checks for the revision and if it falls
