custom tools vs. offline clients

[Guest]

Is there a way to have Hyena not run a custom Tool against a client if that client is not online (will not respond to a ping). When I multiselect many workstations and run a Tool it gets stuck on all of the ones that are not currently online.

I tried the setting in Tools...Settings...View Tab...Ping Options Button...Cancel remote function if ping fails

But this makes no difference?

Re: custom tools vs. offline clients

The tools run on their own, it doesn't take into effect the settings within Hyena.

You'd have to incorporate some other kind of check into your tool, like a manual PING check or if using WMI, there is a Win32_PingResults class.

Hope this helps!
