Remote Support

Installing the Linux Remote Support jumpclient in system mode breaks our GDM authentication configuration by installing the file /etc/dconf/profile/gdm with the contents:user-db:user system-db:gdm file-db:/usr/share/gdm/greeter-dconf-defaultsRedHat systems configure gdm by default via the dconf site database. RedHat expects a confguration like:user-db:user system-db:local system-db:site system-db:distro By removing the local, site, and distro DBs you are completely breaking the standard RedHat configuration. This is completely irresponsible on your part to be modifying such a critical system configuration. This took most of my day to resolve and locked a couple of users out of their machines for a few hours.I had actually just decided to enable your automatic updating of Remote Support - but that is out the window now if you

Hi all! Hope you are doing well.I’ve encountered an issue regarding installation of BT RS. Currently I have about 60 users that have the Jump Client installed on their device. I wanted to update the clients, and it seems like the .dmg file now says sra-scc-<uid>.dmg, and not bomgar-scc-<uid>.dmg (I believe this is not the issue though).Right now, when I prepared the package to be deployed from Jamf Pro (our MDM), the package installs, it shows the BT RS icon on the top-menu bar for a split second (it’s crossed), and then disappears. I can’t see the newly installed jump client in my representative console, so basically it’s like it installed for a moment, then uninstalled or is not present on the machine. I’ve followed the ‘mass deploy on macOS’ instruction, so have all the PPPC settings as well. I have also included the xattr command into the deployment script, but it looks like it does not matter whether it is included or not, the same situation

I am trying to move us away from the deprecated support button. My understanding is that the standby jump client should provide a user driven support request similar to support button. My question is what does the user do to initiate a support chat from the jump client? I have it installed on my computer, I can see my jump client in standby in the rep console. From the client my only options are to disable/uninstall or check-in. I was expecting an option to start a support chat.

So, I’ve attempted this multiple times and took a short break to clear my head. Cannot seem to get this wrapped up, and it’s a necessity. Hi, I’m Robert and I’m a Security Engineer for my company. Part of my portfolio is Enterprise Software Management via Intune. I manage all software deployments for the company on a tenant level, using assignment groups to make certain apps available to pertinent groups. Over the past 3 years, I’ve learned a lot where Intune deployments and the Windows OS intersect. I’m still on the learning path, but I’m figuring out the nuances, the lowest common denominators and getting better at troubleshooting issues. This is where things get complicated: 100% of my experience in this arena is Windows 10 / Windows 11 based. And we now have a very small fleet (<10 devices) of Mac devices for our Marketing team. Now, I’ve tried everything I can find online, but the documentation on how to pull this off via Intune is scarce and inco

We have seen an issue where in some scenarios, it may be possible to connect to a user’s screen without requiring their acceptance. When you initially establish a jump session and perform Shell work to fix an issue, users may have their screen locked or logged out.  Unfortunately, the session policies do not appear to re-evaluate, so whatever the status of the device was when you established the jump session is held throughout the session. A workaround would be to disconnect the jump session and establish a fresh session before you use the screenshare function, which would then pick up the user is logged on and present the prompt.For example:User reports an issue on desktop, walks away.The machine is connected to (Shell, System etc but not screen sharing).User returns and unlocks the machine.Screen sharing is started from the Rep Console.Due to the existing session already established (using Shell and System Information), no prompt f

We often hear from our techs that Jump Clients stay offline even though the PC is only and reachable.Trying to restart the sra-pin Service or the whole PC does nothing.The only way you get this client back online is with the user clicking onto “Reconnect now”.As soon as you click reconnect now the client comes back online.Does anyone else have this problem or has an idea how we can get around this?Another problem is that after a reboot the Jump Client often takes more than 10 minutes to get back online.

Is there is a way to adjust the name of the client or customize the pop up to say, "COMPANY NAME - TECH SUPPORT" or something other than "Remote Support Customer Client" as it sounds incredibly suspicious.

I would like to connect to a specific computer by hostname to perform queries via API. The problem I’m running into is the API requires the jump client ID, not the host name. And there is no server side filtering for the hosts to find the jump client ID. I then tried to pull a list of all hosts and jump client IDs to filter on my end, but the maximum number of results I get is 13. I have extensively consulted with chatgpt and it came to this conclusion:Ah — that clarifies things. The reason your earlier scripts didn’t work is the Command API only supports listing all connected clients; it does not support a server-side filter by hostname. That’s why trying to query a single host returns nothing — the API only gives batches of connected clients, and without paging through, your host might not be in the first page.Ah — now it’s clear why you’re still only seeing 13 Jump Clients: the BeyondTrust Cloud Command API get_connected_client_
