Hello,

I installed WAPT on a virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The inventory table is empty, whereas I expected the virtual machine on which I installed WAPT to be inventoried.
I proceeded with the deployment of the WAPT agent on the client machines. The agent was deployed via GPO without any issues, but these client machines (the web interface at http://127.0.0.1:8088 shows that the agent is deployed) are not appearing in the WAPT console on the server.
I've tried a multitude of things:
installing and reinstalling => no results;
deleting and recreating the virtual machine => nothing.
I've verified that the DNS configurations are working. nslookup on the machine name works correctly (name-to-IP and IP-to-name resolution is correct).
've added the WAPT CNAME alias, which points to the FQDN of my WAPT server.

Do you have any idea what's preventing my WAPT server from working?
I'd like to reiterate that in my test on a different machine (a single domain controller), everything works fine, but when I switch to a production environment with two domain controllers, one with a primary zone and the other with a secondary zone, the WAPT server isn't reporting the inventories in its console. DNS functionality has been checked (nslookup resolves the names).
Can anyone help me, please?

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this behavior?

On one of the client machines, via the CMD command line as administrator (privilege elevation required!)
throw and give us the result...

Yes, I just saw the message. below the result of the command:

This looks like a BIOS bug... when there's a boot bitmap image.
The initial registry sends WMI information, including this image.

. Copy the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tranq ... helpers.py
to c:\wapt

and try again.
If it works, on the management machine (from which you created the custom waptagent.exe), also modify the setuphelpers.py file and recreate a waptagent.exe to deploy across the network.

Copy the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tranq ... helpers.py
to c:\wapt.

When you say to copy it, do I copy it into a .txt file naming it setuphelpers.txt or setuphelpers.py, or what else please?

Copy it into a .py file (not a .txt file) called setuphelpers.py exactly as it is in the GitHub repository.
To be sure you're doing this correctly, uncheck the Windows Explorer option that hides file extensions... (one wonders why Microsoft invented that...)

Good evening,
I did indeed copy the file to .py, but it not only overwrote the existing file (a copy was made beforehand), but it also didn't work. An error appeared, preventing me from connecting to the console. I stopped my internship where I was performing these operations so I can't reproduce the error, nor even continue to fix the problem. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I should add that on my personal machine, I created several virtual machines with VMware, on which I installed the WAPT server, but I didn't have any problems.
