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 and 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

       

Now please move on to the next stages..
