I’m looking to do a report of people who are using their device from our office, however the location history report currently has a bug in which SSID for Windows devices does not show, this is something that is in RnD with ControlUp. I was wondering if there is another way we could solve for this, I did initially think of using external IP however we use Cloudflare WARP so the IP address would be different to our office IP. Any suggestions as to what I could do?

Do your devices show geolocation in location info? If you know the coordinates of the office locations you can basically create geofences using Powershell (or other scripting languages)

I would not use geolocationfromremoteip by the way

Are these machines domain joined?

There’s some fields that only populate when having line of sight

These are Entra joined devices not AD on Prem joined

Maybe we can do something creative with workflows

Need to think about that

Just to clarify: you only care about if they are in the office or are not

We could even do maybe something with a latency test. Configure one for an internal IP, so you would see data if on the network and not if off the network and do a tag or grouping based on that with workflows

Do you have Advanced or platform?
