Aaron,

 

In the past on 4.1.1 I have seen this when Clean Access thinks somebody
else with a different OS owns that IP (usually XP vs. Vista). Search
Online Users or Certified Devices for that IP and kick the other users.

Subject: Re: [CLEANACCESS] "OS Mismatch Detected" suddenly appearing on
4.1.2.1

 

Users can successfully get a DHCP address and all looks normal there,
and the certified list for the successfully logged-in users looks to be
fine.  But for the ones who cannot get the pop-up for logging in, that's
where they are stopped:  the Agent will not pop-up to allow login.
Nothing seems to make it want to pop-up, and then you see the "OS
mismatch detected" in system tray.  The next day, all will work
correctly.  It appears to be happening over 6 CAS boxes in our wireless
network, but not to everyone...sometimes it will work, other times it
will not.  Theoretically, I can see that perhaps the 8905 udp
communication could get blocked or interrupted in some way, thus not
allowing the pop-up to happen, but why then the message "OS Mismatch
Detected"?  You'd think the machine would just sit there, with no Agent
pop-up, and no error message.

Thanks.

-Aaron

Do users appear correctly in DHCP and in your Certified users list?  I
had that error on a single user and nothing on the scale you're speaking
of but I noticed a mismatch in those areas.

We have had a strange problem come up...we just started getting the
message "OS mismatch detected" on windows XP wireless laptops on CCA.
We are running 4.1.2.1 <http://4.1.2.1> <http://4.1.2.1>   successfully
for the past couple months; we have two managers in redundant mode, and
6 CAS boxes.  



On my test machine, I can connect to the wireless network and get an IP
address fine, but the Agent does not popup and when I put my pointer
over the CCA agent icon in the system tray, I see the "OS Mismatch
Detected" error.  This same laptop has had no changes of any kind, has
worked fine since we turned CCA on, and there have not been any CCA
changes of any kind.  I stopped and restarted the Agent, but it didn't
help.  I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the Agent, but that
didn't work either.  When I take that laptop to another area of campus,
fed by the same CAS box (only a different vlan), it works fine.   If I
take my laptop back to the trouble area, it will suddenly work fine; a
day later, if I go back there, it will stop working and show me the OS
mismatch error, so it all appears to be intermittent, with seemingly no
pattern.

I would estimate that 25% of our users in our Library are unable to use
wireless due to this problem.  We are not doing any posture
assessment/repair on our CCA network; it is log in via Agent only, at
this time.

I have a case open with Cisco, but thought I'd see if anyone has seen
this before.  

Many thanks!
