Computers not checking in
I have several windows machines that are not checking in to Kbox.
When I look at the details of the computer I see under Kbox Agent Logs that there are question marks next to Kbox client & Kbox Scripting Updater. I have just recently updated to 5.0 and the client on all of the computers that have this problem (that I have found) are running 4.2.
So-far I've tried a Forced Check in with no luck and I have even remoted in to that computer and uninstalled the old client and installed the latest. Still no change.
I have checkd the Kace website support page but have not found anything that has help so-far.
If someone can assist me I would be greatful.

I have had problems with the settings in the config.xml file going back to 'default' (IE - hostname back to kbox). I would check that...
if it turns out that, you are having this problem to all you need to do is stop the service, fix the file, start the service.

I looked at the xml file as you suggested and it shows serverhost as the ipadddress of the kbox appliance.

if you see
<ServerHost>Kbox</ServerHost>
that is a fluke
it should be
<ServerHost>YOURKBOXHOSTNAME</ServerHost>
replace yourkboxhostname .. well with your kbox hostname or IP address...
<ServerHost>Kbox</ServerHost>

<ServerHost>YOURKBOXHOSTNAME</ServerHost>

The one I checked has an IP address of my Kbox.
So I should be good.

Our server's hostname is kbox so it's not a fluke for us! With DNS and Search Domains properly configured by our DHCP server the clients connect fine with the default setting.
