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?

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

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.

Selecting a list of jump clients by hostname?

Hello there,we are using BT Remote Support and we often have to select and move / delete a lot of jump clients at once (because devices get scrapped or moved somewhere else).It is pretty tiring to select them one by one… (and no, waiting for the auto deletion of non-connected jump clients after x days is no solution in this case...)It would be so easy if there was a way to make a selection for more than one hostname in the search bar, so I could copy a list of ten or more hostnames in there and get a list with all the clients.I would also appreciate an API to do so, but I did not find a way to select a list of clients by hostname. Does anybody have the same issue and a solution for this? Best regards,Tina

Jump Client when you have an existing deployment and automating the upgrade

If i use Intune, Configuration Manager or something similar i have to replace the Jump Client binary when i update the console to make sure i dont deploy an outdated client.Is there a way to automate the download of the updated client directly from my cloud instance or somewhere else so i always have an up to date binary?

Upgrade to 24.3.1 has been a failure

Here is my list of problems:The new agent running as sra-pin.exe has been deployed as of v24.3.1 but the old bomgar-scc.exe and remnants are still installed on upgraded systems, including the service. The new agent upgrade removed the ability of the old agent to be removed from Add/Remove programs, requiring manual registry scrubbing and file deletion. The new agent installs on diffierent locations depending if it’s upgraded or newly installed, making it almost impossible to detect via automation tools like InTune. The old process bomgar-scc.exe is still used when agent connects to a jump client, even though this process does not exist anywhere as executable before the connection is made. The new agent service stops running and does not resume, even after reboots. However, the sra-pin.exe process can be found running under the user context. The device shows offline regardless. Reinstalling the agent does not resolve this log term, after a day or so the agent goes back offline. Most dev

Best practice

Hello,Want to ear you from your experience about one point. Context:Group with 20k computers spread out in diferente business units (countries).Cybersecurity: centralized team for all the group.Helpdesk: each business unit (country) have their own team (some from an external provider and some other it’s internal technicians), with a dedicated IT manager. Those helpdesk teams have a quite huge turnover of people, over the time. Considering that (if I’m not mistaken) only administrator role can have the possibility to add/remove users from Group Policies, what is the best approach/what your experience tells?:Concentrate the administrator role only to cybersecurity team members? Problem/dificulty I see: it put all the heavy work of add/remove users (as I mentioned, there’s a huge turnover on helpdesk teams) to Cybersecurity team. Give administrator role to people on each business unit side (for example to the managers of each helpdesk teams)? Problem/difficulty I see: it give administrat

Mass install & uninstall

We just got upgraded to 24.3.1 and noticed the jump client installer is different. There doesn’t seem to be a KEY_INFO anymore. Also looks like the client gets installed to the C:\Program Files instead of C:\ProgramData too.  Is there updated documentation on installation and uninstalling in a mass deployment?

Copy and paste special characters using RemoteRDP and Linux Jumpoint

We have setup a clustered Linux Jumpoint with 3 nodes for RemoteRDP connections. When trying to copy and paste special characters like “ëéäÿĆ” it will not paste any text, only when the special characters are removed. However, when we use a Windows Jumpoint for the same connection, it will copy and paste the text with special characters.Any idea what could cause this and how this could be fixed?

Easy way to find and remove duplicate clients in Admin console.

I keep getting duplicate devices in the console, how do you prevent these from running up your license count? Is there a tool we can use to find the duplicated devices or is it just hunt and peck through thousands of devices?
