It is probably due to the fact that you don’t have a user logged in…

I replied to your same issue here:

Hi Ben,

you are right, but the funny thing is

I use remote desktop connection to log into that machine to do the testing. Therefore i never expect no user logged in.

In fact, i check the connection, there are 2 user logged into the machine, but still the current user showed in BES is “no user logged in”

Question is: how does the current user being detect by BES? Does it support remote logged in?

Thanks and Best Regards

The short answer is that remote users are not considered “current users”. Long answer here: http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=1187

You can instead use:

setting “userstat”="{name of logged on user}" on “{now}” for client

but that will fail if there are multiple people logged in… this will concatenate all logged on users together:

setting “userstat”="{concatenation “;;” of names of logged on users}" on “{now}” for client

Here is how to detect just local users:

setting “userstat”="{name of logged on users whose (not remote of it)}" on “{now}” for client
