ClearPass: Network Access Control (NAC) based on Windows Client OS Version and Build number

Image
How to manage Windows client network access based on their OS version and build number in CPPM Enforcement Policies Summary:  for enforcement policy to be based on "Windows OS Build version" you will need to implement OnGuard, and via the Health Check Service you will be able to witness the Windows Build version.  You will need to create a new Endpoint record to store these details, then create an Enforcement Profile to store the information in the EndpointDB.  From there you can then use roll mapping policies that reference the build number in your services. From CPPM > Monitoring > Live Monitoring > Access Tracker >  find a relevant Source = WEBAUTH, Service = Health Check Service record and open it to the Input tab Scroll down to the Computed Attributes section, here you can find version information collected by OnGuard agent in the Endpoint such as: Host:      OSArch                x86_64 Host:      OSName                Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Ed

OSX Series - Apple Mac Wireless Trackpad Insanity Solved

Image
Ok, so my wireless trackpad is kind of like my sword, shield and helmet, if i happened to be a Roman Legionary soldier.  I think that makes it clear, it must work well, or life is not good.  I use ZOOM all the time with my BOSE QC 35...  the best headphones I have used yet... However... I noticed that when i am using the BOSE with bluetooth on my 2019 MBP, along with wireless keyboard and trackpad, the trackpad performance was terrible.   Accuracy of movement and clicks was hit and miss, mostly miss.   What is going on?  I used this for months without issue, then suddenly I have problems.  It turns out there was a simple fix...

Now I keep this disabled during ZOOM calls, and re enable it as required when I wa
