Complete each of the steps outlined below if a computer that has the Device Management Agent (DMA) installed fails to show up on the MSPComplete Device Management Overview page:
Step 1: Confirm the DMA Deployment Method
If DMA was deployed through email asking users to install the Agent manually, it's possible that some users did not follow through with the installation. Try sending a second email asking users to install DMA manually. Refer to the How do I deploy the Device Management Agent through email? article for information about how to deploy the Agent through email.
If DMA was deployed through an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO), confirm that the GPO was configured correctly. Refer to the How do I deploy DMA with a GPO? article for information about how to deploy the Agent with a GPO.
Continue to the next step if you can confirm that users tried installing the Agent manually or if you can confirm the Active Directory GPO was configured correctly.
Step 2: Test the Connection Between the Computer and the BitTitan Server
Use these steps to test the connection DMA installed between the computer and the BitTitan servers. With these steps, you can check if a firewall is blocking the connection.
- Open an internet browser and navigate to the following URL:
https://api.bittitan.com/API/2.0/WebService.asmx - If you see a message similar to the one shown below, your connection to the BitTitan server can be established, so DMA is going to be able to authenticate. If you don't see this message, your connection to the BitTitan servers is likely being blocked by a firewall. In this case, consult with the company's network administrator.
Step 3: Confirm that DMA is Installed and Running on the Computer
Use the steps below to determine if DMA is installed on the computer that is not transmitting information to MSPComplete. With these steps, you will confirm if the DMA installation directory exists and if the DMA service and processes are running.
- Confirm that this DMA installation directory exists: C:\Program Files (x86)\BitTitan
- If the directory exists, open Task Manager.
- Click the Services tab, and look for the BitTitanDMA service in the services list.
- Click the Processes tab, and look for the Device Management Agent processes.
- If you are not able to confirm the DMA installation directory or the process, try reinstalling DMA on the computer using the deployment methods listed in Step 1, above.
