Client PC's Disconnected
« on: January 10, 2012, 08:11:40 PM »
Greetings:

I'm having an issue with a new install of Avast Business Protection.  Most of the PC's on my LAN show as "disconnected".  The Admin console was able to discover them and remote install the Avast Client but after that they only show as "Disconnected". 

Windows (or any other) firewall is disabled.  They PC's are powered on and I can ping them from the admin console PC.   

Any idea of where to start looking to fix this?

Thanks.

I have the same problem.  Server is 2008 R2 and clients are XP-Win7.  Firewall is turned off by GP.  Initially the clients showed up as connected but now all but the server itself are disconnected.  The logs show they are connecting but the status does not reflect this. 

I would love to get a solution to this problem.

I also experience this issue. It appears that many clients bounce from online to offline status based on each poll. Is there a way to loosen the polling criteria?

Try to restart the avast! Administration Console service.

I'm having this problem regularly too. Restarting the administration console service "fixes" it, but since it happens at least once almost every day, I'd guess there is something wrong in the code. Maybe it should watch the connected computers and when none have connected in a reasonable time, automatically restart itself (or close and re-open the ports or something to try to resolve the issue).

Console runs on Windows Server 2008R2 here too.

I have 125 clients in two different subnets, and almost 100% of the clients show disconnected. I like others restart the Console and the clients appear and then as usual simply disconnect after a short while. I am running the latest Console and the latest client, but the problem persists.

It appears this is a known issue and has been for sometime know, but I do not see any kind of response from Avast concerning this issue. Is this leaving our clients unprotected, if a client becomes infected how will we know since they are consistently disconnected, even though they are indeed online.

I like the product, and once again stuck my neck out to keep it at our facility, but I am loosing confidence since they do not seem to acknowledge (at least I cant find it) and they haven't fixed the issue. So if someone actually knows what is going on or if they have fixed it and I am simply not seeing the fix -- please enlighten me. If there is no supported fix, then my question is -- when will there be?

I have this same issue. I am hoping to upgrade from pro v4, but my test install of BP only shows 1 of my test installs in the console. The one that works is a 2003 server, the other two are XP and W7 64bit. The working one had no AV previously, the other two had v4 pro removed first.

Very frustrating. Anyone got a solution?

Rob,

Can you provide us with the troubleshooting package from the console so that we can see what is going on?

Sorry for the delay -- had to many projects in the fire and have simply dealt with the disconnect issues manually. If you tell me how to generate the report you are asking for I will be happy to generate and send it along.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Open your Administration console and click on Admin in the left column. Then click on Setting and choose Troubleshooting. You will see the button to Download Troubleshooting package that contains the log files.
