Securing Laptops with ControlUp and other Options

Posted on January 6, 2025

A discussion took place about different security options for laptops, specifically a method to prevent bootup in the event of theft. It was mentioned that ControlUp does not have this feature, but there is a user voice open for it. It was also suggested to use MDM or Intune for this purpose, but it was noted that a script will not run if the agent cannot communicate with the device. Some laptops have Absolute software built-in for this purpose. Another possible solution is using BitLocker with TPM+PIN, but it is important to ensure proper policies are in place for it to be effective. URL mentioned: www.absolute.com

Troubleshooting a Telephony Issue With ControlUp Data

Posted on September 6, 2023

A user asked if it is possible to get granular data from ControlUp to troubleshoot an issue with calls dropping on a telephony system. It was suggested that an alert or script be set up to gather data, however the customer preferred to use Citrix ADM. ControlUp already gives extra details for the Protocol Latency metric such as Min, Max and Avg over a 5-minute interval and users were asked if this was helpful for the issue. The question was left open-ended to determine if more granular data could be made available in the future.
