Regarding sk183410 - SmartEndpoint Support

[Ben_Dunkley]

It's not very clear in sk183410, but I get the feeling this is only for cloud management for endpoint...?

Is this correct, is SmartEndpoint still supported ongoing for connecting to an on-prem management server?

Thanks,

Ben

My understanding is that SmartEndpoint, as a fat application, will be phased out, regardless of the environment you are using it in. The relevant functionality is, or soon will be, ported to the WebUI.

I asked the owners to comment here, too. Let's see what they have to say

Thats how Im reading it. I asked one of SEs and he also believes that to be the case, but maybe you can also confirm with TAC.

Hi , plan is to move to the admin portal as it it better maintained and provides overall better experience - is that any reason to keep using smart endpoint rather than the admin portal for the on-prem population?

I've got this thread dating back a couple of years and have spoken to on-prem customers in the interim.

What it the answer for them?

It is a shame to see so much development in the EPMaaS portal over the last two years and zero of that has gone into on-prem.

Will this have the same limitation of Smart-1 Cloud where only 1 person can access the portal if connections are originating from a terminal server?
