Prevx 3.0 Enterprise Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



When I start my computer/Prevx 3.0 Enterprise, a message appears saying 'Unable to access Prevx Website to determine URL configuration...' what does it mean?

Validating URL Configuration

There is normally a delay in making network connectivity on the start up of a machine, especially if wireless is used. This is also a symptom of not having the following:

  • PX3EntConsole.exe, PX3EntSrv.exe or PX3EntRmtWzrd.exe is not allowed through your firewall.
  • Proxy configurations have not been set.
  • There is a problem contacting the internet due to a network error (troubleshoot by trying to launch the Prevx webpage).
  • The Prevx Server may be temporarily offline (please contact support).

Whilst using the Remote Deployment Wizard, I receive an error – “1219”, what does this mean and how can I avoid it?

This error message occurs when there has been a credentials conflict, meaning that you are already authenticated to the machines in question but are using different credentials. To avoid this, please clear down all current connections to the machine by using DOS functions such as “NET SHARE /DELETE”. If problems persist please contact support.

I have set up alert rules to email/sms me upon an agent infection; however I do not receive a message when this happens.

Please ensure that you have correctly entered the telephone number international format eg. +441332557777, also only one email address can be entered into the email recipient field. This configuration is with the Alert Rules under Server Config.

In the event of an infection the administrator can dictate exactly what they wish to do in the scenario. To configure the remediation policies please refer to "Remediation" in the Operators Guide.

I have installed a number of agents across my network but when they scan I do not see them in the server console?

Please ensure the following:

  • The agents can contact the server through any firewalls
  • The agents machines have correctly installed the software (see Remote Deployment Wizard)
  • The server console is online.
