Clients do not show up in the console

(imported topic written by jpeppers91)

Has anyone experienced the besclient running on the client but it does not show up inside the console? I’ve stopped and restarted services but no luck.

There could be lots of issues that could cause this related to the network configuration, computer issues, etc…

Try the BES Diagnostics Tool:

I am actually having this issue in our QA environment.

I added two machines and the client installed fine using the client deploy tool and they are not showing in the Console. i checked the log files on the machines and they say the right server, but they have not appeared. i even tried waiting over night.

I ran the diagnostics tool and it ran without a problems reported no errors.

Are you logged in as the master operator?

You would need someone to look at it in more detail (see if the agent is reporting properly, see if the data is in the database, see if the console is retrieving data fine, etc).
