Hi Jurgen,

Hi,

if I open "old" Remote-Control (HTML is not possible) it tells me that I am using lokal skins. Then I see a hourglass for a few seconds and Remote-Control closes automatically.

If my PC is connected to the internet Remote-Control is working but it does'nt uses skins.

Definitely possible.  However, skin related service is only one of many considerations when your Mobicontrol server and devices are all offline (i.e. all on private /closed network).

Regarding your skin related problem, I believe you need to ask Soti support team to help you import onto your offline server  the skin .ini file,  plus  the html and png image files for each device model you want to have remote control session.

Hi

We have the same Problems with the skins. we see no Skin in the old remote Control.

Perhaps our Proxy Server blocks it. Does the server Downloads the skins or the client?

i see only request to msftconnecttest in my whireshark trace.

Which adress can we whitlist?

best regards

Markus

If you suspect the problem is related to your firewall, please add exception for 

    skins.soti.net        ports: 80,443

Thank you. Does the Device Server Downloads the Skins or the Client Computer who is initiating the remote Connection?

Deployment server need to get from the Skin server an ini file containing list of supported devices and parameters, plus a set skin files for EACH device model supported. The latter are downloaded on a need basis.  As I discussed in another post,  it is possible to get these files onto your offline server if it is blocked from access to the Soti skin server.  If you need this, please request Soti support team to help you on this.

As far as I know, web console machine starting remote control session gets the required skin files from the deployment server.
