EPA scan for Operating System
« on: June 12, 2009, 07:11:54 AM »
I'm playing with our netscaler / AGEE, in a demo environment. Currently I have 2 groups: (a) staff login - quick & dirty, gives full VPN to backend kit; (b) Demo login - uses session policies that detect notepad, calc etc to gifferent types of access (ica proxy, full vpn etc).

The thing is that because we are doing this with a SESSION policy, the pre-login EPA doesn't run... it does it POST login... but we'd like to show EPA pre-login!

So, I need to think of a pre-auth rule I could apply: the simplest I could think of was "is the OS either XP or Vista". But it seems that whilst the policy engine can check for hotfixes and serfvice packs, can't see how it chacks for a base OS.

Any suggestions? Or suggestion on other, fairly simple, pre-auth EPA's I could run? (My "use my imagination" batteries are running low!)

Paul,

I haven't worked with EPA much but couldn't you check if a registry key exists and set the registry key to be one of something like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

That will exist on all windows machines so it should work.
