TROUBLESHOOTING: Run BES Client Diagnostics
| 0 Votes |
Description
| The BES Client Diagnostics tool is a small command line utility that gathers various statistics and files from BES Clients for analysis. The information provided by the tool is useful in analyzing a BES deployment and troubleshooting client issues. Each BES Client targeted will upload approximately 1-10MB of data to the BES Server (through the BES Relays). Depending on network speeds, this could take several minutes. Note: After execution this action, the "TROUBLESHOOTING: Run BES Client Diagnostics Cleanup" task can be used to remove the diagnostics result files. Note: If the size of the resulting zip file generated by the tool is larger than 10 MB, it will not be uploaded to the BES Server. The action script can be modified to set a higher limit. Most results are under 5 MB. |
