There may be a requirement to protect a PC that is not joined to the domain or even connected to the same network. We have a solution for this. It is fairly easy to set up, but there are a few extra prerequisites needed in order to get this working
Prerequisites
Please note: For initial set up the machine must be connected to the same network even if it is not joined to the domain.
Make a note of the host name of the computer. In this case it is 'ABC'
Create some local user accounts and make sure the Administrator account is active.
Create a Virtual Domain (This is required as the Stand-alone machines' host name will act as it's own domain.)
Login to the DualShield Administration Console and go to Identity>Identity Sources
Click on on the top right.
It is recommended to specify the hostname of the Non-Domain joined machine as the friendly name of this identity source.
Also, make sure the Type is set to SQL
Click Finish
Go to Directory>Domains
Click on on the top right.
In the 'Domain-New' Dialogue box, select the Identity Source that you have just created from the drop-down
It is recommended to match the Name, DNS Name and NetBIOS Name with the hostname of the Stand-alone machine
Click Save
The Virtual domain will now be listed under Domains.
Click on the corresponding ellipses ad select Users from the menu
Create an Application
You will now need to create Virtual user accounts that match the local user accounts on the PC
Click on on the top right.
Make sure the account details match including the password.
Click Save
Repeat the process until the list of Virtual Users match the list of local users on the PC
