Updating Jump Clients via SCCM

I’m seeking assistance to help untangle the mixture of BeyondTrust versions I have installed on our Windows devices. I’ve updated our appliance to verion 25.1.1, but our deployments still show verions 24.3.1 and 24.3.2 in our environment.  There are a lot of “Upgrade Pending” devices that I haven’t been able to resolve with the suggested methods of restarting the BeyondTrust service.  The Service appears to start, but quick stop again.  Do I need to create a task sequence that tries an update within the short window that the service is running?I feel like a complete uninstall is the best route forward, but my manual attempts to do so have not resulted in any positive results.

Threatlocker Customer Joined Support Queue Randomly?

Experienced an unusal incident in which a support user had a unexpected session appear in their queue with the customer name displaying as “ Threatlocker” the support user stated that they had not sent out a support link / key to any clients or was expecting any kind of support connection . At first they thought it could have been a prior client re-opening a old bomgar file. But after verifiying logs can confirm that the prior client’s name was different than “Threatlocker” . Also to note the support user did not interact with the session and attempted to remove the session by right-clicking but was diabled.The session did eventually disconnect on its own. Upon reviewing the logs it seemed that the “threatlocker” cilent was commenting in the session a repeated message over and over again even after a “disconnected” state. I am thinking this could have been a bot of some sort. This instance only happened once and did not reappear . I attempted to do a generic search online to see if the

Beyondtrust remote support and W365

we are moving some customers/colleague to also use Windows 365 and of course sometimes they might need some support. The situation is that the majority of our staff and also IT levels do not have admin rights at all on their workstations as the workstations and W365 are full Intune managed and in Autopilot USER-Mode. The way we currently do support and where admin level is required is to use BTRS to take over the device and elevate prompts through the magic wand options. The problem arises with Windows 365. The agent runs fine on the background and we see it also active in the representative consol, however when using the JUMP to access the workstation, the user is not getting any prompts to allow the representative access to the workstation most likely due to the nature of W365 being basically an RDP session. I've tried doing it the other way around by sending a code to the user and they key this in in the session URL and then we do get access to the device, however this is limited an

Android Jump client config via Intune

We are working on a mass deployment of the jump client to Zebra TC53e devices via Intune.  No issue installing the app, however the application configuration that needs to be setup to pin the client does not seem to be working.  I confirmed the Mass deployment key and Company API name are correct and that the app config successfully gets deployed to the device, however the jump client never gets pinned.   If I use the browser/URL to configure the jump client, everything works so I am assuming I don’t have something properly setup in Intune.   Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Changing the customer_client_start_mode value via btapi.exe?

Hello again,we are making progress with the API. But now I have another question.If I try to change the value customer_client_start_mode via API (btapi.exe) I get an internal server error. My json file looks like this: If I remove the parameter for customer client start mode from the json file the API works. So it is not really a server error... I can change values like jump_group_id and name. But not the start mode of the customer client.I guess this is the setting I can change in the console here (but only for a few clients at a time...):Is there a way to change the value via API?

RS and PRA client service keeps stopping

Hello,I’m hoping for some assistance with figuring out an issue that we have been experiencing in our deployment. Units will sometimes show they are offline in RS/PRA consoles, despite being online. I’ve worked with support in the early stages of our deployment for this issue, and I was able to make the required adjustments within our other systems to allow the programs to run properly, which fixed the majority of this issue. However, now it seems that if the computer is on for too long (goes ___ number of days without being turned off or restarted), the services will stop and need to be either manually started, or the computer turned off/restarted to get the services to come back online. This provides challenges as getting users to restart or turn off their computers periodically would be challenging to manage, and there are some units that are rarely restarted or powered off due to their function. Whenever this issue has arisen since we made the necessary changes to our anti-virus an

Supporting Highly Secured PCs Behind a Firewall

HELP.  We have the on prem Bomgar setup.  We also have computers that are on our LAN that are LOCKED DOWN.  These PCs have full access to the Bomgar server in our DMZ.  These PCs do not have Internet Access.  Internet Access is blocked for these PCs.  When Internet is blocked, we cannot manage these PCs over Bomgar.  As soon as we open up Internet, we can manage the PCs.  Here’s the other thing, we can enable internet access, jump to the PC, disable internet access, and we still have the remote access session up without issue.  There has to be some sort of internet check in that is happening for these PCs that is required.  Is there a way to manually add these PCs into Bomgar and not worry about this “phone home” check in that is happening?Thanks.

Significant API Changes post 24.3.2 Upgrade

I work for a retail organization with multiple Jump Groups, and automating the Jump Client installer download has always been a tedious but necessary task, especially since each appliance upgrade requires redownloading the installer.To streamline this, I developed an automated process that directly retrieved the appropriate installer from the appliance via API. This solution worked flawlessly for two years—until the 24.3.2 upgrade broke it. It appears that BeyondTrust modified the schema, introducing different key_info handling for MSI-based installers and, more frustratingly, removing the option to download EXE files entirely.What’s most aggravating is that none of these API changes were documented in the change log, making it difficult to adapt. Has anyone else encountered similar challenges post-24.3.2 upgrade? If so, have you found any viable workarounds?

Copy / Move jump clients to jump groups via API?

Hello, sorry, I have another question…I read the API guide and it seems that there is no way to copy / move a jump client (aka computer) to another jump group. There are only commands for users.I want to move or copy a client (or a list of clients via Powershell) from one jump group to another one. I can do that in the console one by one, but I would love to do that automatically via API.Is there a way?

Remote Support 24.3.2 macos jump client

Just curious is anyone else is seeing the following…On a mac machine that has never had BT installed before. On first jump, the user is prompted to grant disk access, screen recording, etc. On the screen recording, the user is then prompted to quit and reopen or do that later. If you choose quit and reopen, the jump session works fine, but the icon for BT disappears from the menu tray. Once you end the jump session, the computer shows as offline in the console until one of 2 things happens. The remote computer is restarted or you wait 5-10 minutes. In that time, the icon reappears on its own and the computer can be jumped to again.I am testing on 15.3.1 and this issue was present in 24.3.1 as well.  Support “believes” this is intended but I have pushed back.  I can’t move forward with this version until support KNOWS this is the intended behavior.
