clients will not find the server console & license

Avast Business Avast Endpoint Protection

hello there,

two days ago we started the bpp installation at one of our customers.

we installed the SBC console (version 1.0.888.19) and we were able to find the systems in the network. after that we pushed the clients, and restarted them … but after that the clients are still in the trial mode > they are not able to find the server.

after reading a few threads we created a new license file, because of containing an “ü” in the company name. We inserted the new file and restarted some clients, but without result > the server is not found.

Is there a way to tell the clients manually to look for the server ?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings Marco.

Could you check following things, please
1, in client UI, Settings > Troubleshooting > avast! Administration Console. There should be FQDN of computer where you installed the SBC (or IP).

2, in admin. console, check ADMIN > Computer login audit trail

3, at client computer check logs sbctransport.log, avastnet.log

hello,

to 1:

Servername/IP: KENSERVER.xxx.local Port: 25322

to 2:

in the login audit trail the system is marked with green !

to 3:

greetings marco.

@machines for option three, browse through the directory:

WinXP/2k3
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVAST Software\

Win Vista/7/2k8
C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software
or
C:\ProgramData\Alwil Software\Avast5\log (taken from my own system)

hello wpn,

thanks for the hint. we checked the logs and found out that there was a problem with the dns-lookup. so we changed in the client the name of the server to the real ip-adress, restarted the system and it finds the server.

now for some reason we get the message that the vps could not be updated. but first we have to check the proxy-settings. i will do that on monday and then i´ll get back and give a feedback.

greetings marco.

no problem, may i suggest to read the SBC FAQ that is a sticky, there is more tips (one among is the directories ;)) in there

goodluck monday

@wpn > thanks for the hint with the faq, which i read before.

but i still have the problem that the clients will not get the actual vps-file. we started then a manual update at the client, which produced an error that the client cannot find the internet server. all the other client are not willing to update.

what can we do and what can we check ?

thanks for your help.
