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

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?

Unable to specify credentials in elevated mode

I saw a post on Reddit this morning and it reminded me of what I noticed when we performed an upgrade yesterday. When attending a Remote Support session with a customer and elevating the session, the only option is for the customer/end user to provide admin credentials - there is no option for the support engineer to provide their own credentials - is this expected behaviour?

Lost Admin Credentials

What happens if your administrator secrets are automatically rotated (or somehow lost) and you are no longer able to access /appliance or /login with admin credentials? Just to be clear, I am not currently in this situation.

Errors when setting up and accessing public portal

I have set up another public portal and template for one of our companies to remote support, but when attempting to access the portal, we are getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. Is this something I need to resolve on my side or does BeyondTrust need to set this up for us to have functioning? What are my next steps?We have also tried to add the certificate for the domain in the Appliance section, but it does not appear to “stick” after adding. Is this why we are having issues? How can I get this portal working?I have been trying to get a response from BeyondTrust support for 2 weeks now, and with no response, hoping someone on here can assist. Thanks!

Use limits and billing

We purchased Bomgar primarily for our IS department support. There are 3 line of business groups that occasionally need to remote to machines. The 5 or 6 people in that group, I assigned to use a maximum of 2 licenses at a time. At renewal time I bill them for their portion of the support bill.This has worked out OK but I am wondering if others have found ways to allocate cost or allocate license use to groups of people.My one complaint about Bomgar is that you need to exit the application to free up the tech license. If you only click the x it keeps running and using a license.

Remote support Alert when Rep is idle in an active session.

Is there a way in Remote support where an alert is provided for being idle in a active session where either the end user or the representative is not moving mouse or not using keyboard for a period of time?

Customer Success Quarterly - 2024-Q4 - Remote Support

Hello! Last month our Chief Customer Officer, Sean Cashin, provided some information on our upcoming dedicated user community. I’m excited to announce that BeyondTrust launched our new BeeKeepers community on Monday, September 16th! Why BeeKeepers?The name BeeKeepers was born from the idea to protect and secure privileged identities, along with the paths those identities follow in order to gain privilege, aka Paths to Privilege. What does the BeeKeepers name mean to us?Imagine a company’s data and secrets as the honey in a beehive. BeeKeepers take care of the hive, protecting the honey and honeybees, from predators the live to steal the honey, damaging and destroying the hive. Now imagine you, BeyondTrust customers, IT Admins, SOC professionals, and CISOs are the BeeKeepers! And honeybees are identities – human and non-human – continuously travelling along their flight paths, the Paths to Privilege, collecting pollen and making more honey. BeeKeepers protect the honeybees’ path and con
