Instructions on how to configure Off-Network Support (ONS) for use with Microsoft Azure.
Off-Network Support (ONS) allows a computer previously provisioned with Desktop Authority to continue receiving configuration updates while off-network. A computer that is considered to be off-network may have an Internet connection but the company network is unreachable.
To use this feature, Off-Network Support must be configured in the Desktop Authority Manager.
Off-Network Support is accomplished by using Desktop Authority's Replication capabilities. Configuration and necessary files are replicated to a configured Internet cloud service; currently Desktop Authority supports both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
IMPORTANT: Prior to configuring ONS (Off-Network Support) within the Desktop Authority Console, you will first need to access the web portal for your intended cloud storage provider (AWS or Azure) to create the appropriate storage container(s). Visit the video help link on the ONS configuration page to access a Knowledge base article containing information on the necessary pre-configuration steps for both AWS and Azure usage.
TIP: To prevent any unwanted dialogs or errors when off-network, the special SLBYPASS option file should be used. To configure this option refer to Special Option Files.
