NAC Implementation with LanDesk

[syedaltaf.shah]

Hi.

first of all excuse me for not putting this question in correct category. because none of other category working for me... page is not loading.

so here is my prob.

We have currently Cisco NAC implemented in our Enterprise. we want to deploy LanDesk aswell..

the problem is when the PC boots the first time NAC assigns Authentication IP and the same time LandDesk Agent tries to connect to LanDesk Server which offcorse he cannot as this authentication IP the client cannot communicate with anything other than NAC Server.

So how to ? can any one please???

thanks in advance

Hi Syed,

Since this question is primarily to do with NAC, i am moving this discussion to the AAA community. You should get better help from there.

You can set a delay on the services by running a script found here and then you can execute the service or make the call that will fire up the landesk services. Here is an example of the script that I am talking about....

Also here is one of the articles I found on how to use scripting to start services,

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi_services.htm

I had a customer use this method to map their network drives and were able to get this to work successfully.

Also one more method is you can create a check that you can always set to fail and then set a launch services requirement that will always attempt to start the services for the landesk service. here is the config guide that will guide you through this:
