BES Client Setting: Hold Mode For Missing Client UI
| 0 Votes |
Description
| When the Client UI is missing because it failed to launch or is configured to not be available, the BES Client can be configured to prevent actions from running until the Client UI is available. This task can be used to set the BES Client behavior in these circumstances. If the BES Client hold mode is set to all, then no actions will be run unless the Client UI can be displayed, regardless of whether the Client UI failed to launch or was configured to be unavailable. If the BES Client hold mode is set to none, then the BES Client will run all actions, regardless of the availability of the Client UI. If the BES Client hold mode is set to failed, then the BES Client will hold actions only if the Client UI is missing because it failed to launch. In the event that the Client UI is missing because it was configured to be unavailable, actions will still be run. Note: Do not set the "Reapply" behavior when taking this action or you may cause the BES Client to constantly restart itself. Note: Applying this setting may cause the BES Client to restart. Note: Affected computers may report back as 'Pending Restart' once the task has run successfully, but will not report back their final status until the computer has been restarted. |
