Hello!I wanted to ask the community how long the average time is to establish a session in Remote Support in your environments. From clicking on jump to getting a session window (not just the entry in the queue, but the real window).What things can influence this establishing time except virus scan?Thank you in advance.

We’re having issues with our RS sessions automatically passing elevation to our technicians.  we were previously at 25.1.1 and had no issues with automatically passing elevation.  when we upgraded to 25.1.2 our rs sessions suddenly stopped automatically passing elevation on the majority of our rs sessions.  tia.

In Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access, some binaries will undergo a name change. Client name changes for Windows took place in 25.1. In 25.2, files for Mac/Linux clients as well as Jumpoints for all operating systems will be changed. In addition, directory name changes will take place, changing from Bomgar, to BeyondTrust for new installations. Existing installations will not be impacted. No action is necessary for these changes to occur, but if you are currently whitelisting directories or binaries by name with your endpoint security, you may need to update your whitelist configuration to accommodate the name changes.  Old Name New Name bomgar-scc sra-scc bomgar-pec sra-scc bomgar-rep sra-con bomgar-acc sra-con bomgar-jpt sra-jpt bomgar-sjt sra-sjt bomgar-sjp sra-sjp bomgar-rfb sra-rfb bomgar-rdp sra-rdp bomgar-rdt sra

Hello again,sometimes a support session gets lost or “broken” if the remote computer is offline for too long. (For example because it is making a BIOS Update that takes very long… or the user does not return to reboot for a while) The supporter can only End the session in this case and has to make a new one if the customer returns. Screen sharing controls turn grey and only “close” is available.Is there a way to set the timeout for “customer left session” higher so the session does not get lost?I did not find anything in the admin console or the knowledge base...

Hello,We are coming up to our certificate renewal, and I noticed that the BeyondTrust documentation states “You do not need to create a new certificate request”, and to provide the original CSR if the CA doesn’t already have it.  See DigiCert documentation, “Best practice is to generate a new CSR when renewing your SSL/TLS certificate. This creates a new, unique keypair (public/private) for the renewed certificate.”  Why would BeyondTrust, a company developing security products, recommend a less secure process? Am I misunderstanding something, or should the BeyondTrust documentation follow industry best practices for renewing certificates which is to generate a new CSR in order to create a new keypair? 

Hi! Is there a way to see to which traffic node a specific jump client is connected right now?Either remotely, in the console or directly on the client?

Has anyone else’s Remote Support appliance been going down constantly?  Our cloud appliance which is on 25.1.1 has been going down multiple times per week since upgrading.  We’ve opened numerous tickets and Support has been dead silent on the issue for weeks now.  Just curious if anyone else is experiencing issues with Remote Support 25.1.1Having no insight to the backend is proving it difficult to explain to our end users and leadership why this keeps occurring especially during business hours.
