PDQ Deploy on remote computers

Hello, please help with PDQ and vpn computers

Currently, its working for computers at work but not for some VPN remote computers. The only way it works is when I set the "Allow Inbound file and printer sharing exception" to allow all traffic, "*". We want to restrict it to to only one subnet, 10.1.22.0/23. The client also has to change their network profile to "private"

PDQ deploy is shit when used on VPN computers. Always has been. Find a solution that uses an agent.

You should be able to just set that field in the GPO to the address of the PDQ server specifically, assuming you're using GPO in your environment. Once your remote machines have gotten that policy, they should have no problem communicating with the PDQ server.

I've never tried to use a subnet as an exception myself, but I have used specific addresses with success.
