Select a Network Connection type to enable validation checking based on the current connection to the network, On-Network or Off-Network. If the Network connection of the computer matches one of the connection types selected, the configuration element will be processed.
Desktop Authority can manage the computer and user's session when they are not connected to the corporate network. As an example, think of a laptop that is connected to the network at the office but when being used remotely it is disconnected from the company network. In this case the computer, when used remotely, would be considered Off-Network.
Select On-Network to validate when the computer is connected to the corporate network, because it is located physically in the corporate building or facility, or through a VPN. This means that the domain controller is reachable and therefore Windows Domain and Active Directory services are available.
Select Off-Network to validate when the computer is connected to a private or public network with internet access but the corporate environment is not available, i.e. the domain controllers are not pingable and Active Directory services, and network shares are not available.
It is assumed that a Desktop Authority managed computer has run Desktop Authority at least once while connected to the network, thus it has installed the client side files.
Off-Network support is configured on the Deployment Settings > Off-Network Support page.
The ability to execute elements Off-Network is not supported on with all profile objects. Therefore, the Network Connection Validation Logic section will only be visible for objects where Off-Network execution is supported.
Below is the list of objects that support Off-Network Execution:
