Thanks Louis,
MDM is being looked at as part of a separate project, but the WMI solution is 
certainly possible. I’ll have a look around that.

Cheers,
Andi

Hi Louis,
Co-incidentally earlier today I had a conversation with a colleague about 
getting posture checking with dot1x auth and windows clients and I suggested 
Packetfence for the solution. If you discontinue SoH, is there something on the 
roadmap that would be its equivalent?



Hi Andi,
We are probably not going to remove it entirely for now, but rather make it 
something optional that you may have to download separately.
The specifics are under discussion and your input is valued.

The problem is that even Microsoft has stopped supporting it.
So it’s only going to get more problematic as time marches on.

I would recommend you look into the PacketFence WMI integration or a Mobile 
Device Management solution (MDM) if you really need those features.
WMI is more work to set up but allows for finer grained checks.

MDM solutions are more expensive if you don’t count your own time (there is no 
free lunch I am afraid…) but can get you off the ground faster.
Some of them already integrate with PF (Opswat, MobileIron and Symantec SEPM) 
and we will be working on supporting others in the future.

It’s all about what you want to tradeoff. Your time or your money.

Best regards,
