The user also asked if all machines were on the same hypervisor.

Managing Microsoft Edge Cache and Cookies with Scripts in ControlUp

Posted on

The user asked if there is a script to close and delete the cache and cookies on the Microsoft Edge browser, and it was suggested that it is possible, with a link provided to the necessary folders. Clearing the folders is not always simple, as other software may use msedge.exe in the background, so users should be notified before making any changes. A possible solution is being worked on that would send a notification to the user to say the browser is attempting to be closed, and they will be notified when it is able to reopen.

Limiting the Number of Connections in ControlUp Real Time Console

Posted on

A new user asked if there was a way to limit the number of connections in the ControlUp Real Time Console that a given user can have to the client machines. The suggestion was to use the Solve console, which the user said might not offer the same 'Incidents view'. However, the Audit Log from the Solve console can show all the triggers that were fired and actions ran, as well as limit the 'Connect to Windows Machine' permission. It was suggested to explain the resource constraints to the help desk team and rely on their own principles of self-control. There is no way to detect if too many connections are open, and the Security Policy is all or nothing.
