Resolve Windows security issues that prevent Agent provisioning

Resolve Windows security issues that prevent Agent provisioning

If Windows security settings prevent the appliance from provisioning the Agent to Windows devices, you can reconfigure settings through a command prompt.

To allow provisioning, you must open the firewall and configure security settings.

1.
Open a command prompt on the device.
2.
Open the firewall and configure security settings:

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v ForceGuest /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v FdenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

netsh.exe firewall set service type=FILEANDPRINT mode=ENABLE scope=ALL

netsh.exe firewall set service type=REMOTEADMIN mode=ENABLE scope=ALL

Manage quarantined file attachments

Manage quarantined file attachments

The appliance includes a malware scanning feature for Service Desk file attachments. An automated process on the appliance ensures that the virus definition lists are updated on a regular basis. Any files attached to Service Desk tickets, and also any attachments to ticket-related email are scanned before they are added to the tickets.

Quarantined files are listed on the Antivirus Quarantine page. Use this page to review and manage quarantined Service Desk attachments. A notification appears when a threat is detected, with a link to the device associated with the file. You can also create notifications when specific kinds of threats are detected, or based on their status change.

1.
Go to the Antivirus Quarantine page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Security, then click Antivirus Quarantine.
By default, the Antivirus Quarantine page displays new threats that have not been rejected or released from the quarantine. These items are always included in the appliance backup. You can filter this list using the View By menu, as required.
2.
Review the list of files and perform applicable actions.
For each quarantined file, the list displays its name, the time the file was first and last seen, the name of the malware variant, and additional information about the file's release or rejection, as applicable.
◦
To enable access to a quarantined file in the associated Service Desk ticket, select it in the list and click Choose Action > Release.
◦
To block access to a quarantined file in the Service Desk ticket, select it in the list and click Choose Action > Reject.
◦
To delete a quarantined file from the Service Desk ticket, select it in the list and click Choose Action > Delete
The Choose Action menu also allows you to export the list, or to create a report.
