Over the past few days, we have been getting an increasing number of emails from Splashtop about devices being removed (Note that we have our own Splashtop i.e. the BYO). We did not trigger this and have not altered any of our Syncro policies.
The Email from Splashtop says:
Uninstalled the streamer
Deleted using the Splashtop web console
Or exceeded the computer limit
I believe that Syncro is the cause.
This is becoming a critical issue so a prompt reply would be appreciated.
PS I see from the community forum that I’m not the only one with this issue!
We are currently looking into this issue - and our status site has been updated. The issue seems to be somewhat random, as not all customers are affected, and not all assets are affected either.
We’ll continue to update the Syncro Status page when new information is available.
Thank you for reporting the issue and helping us get to the bottom of this.
I recently experienced this on a few devices about a month back. I feel it may (at least when it happened to me) have something to do with upgrading to Splashtop 3.5.
Happening to me as well, but I do have the Splashtop Business plan in addition to the Splashtop that Syncro provides. I was able to access a computer with the Syncro Splashtop but not my paid for version.
We have a development case going for this, go ahead and email us at help@syncromsp.com with a link to one of your affected assets and we’ll get you linked in for updates on the issue.
I’ve got a ticket open. I have my own (BYO) Splashtop SOS+ account (and did before Syncro added Splashtop as a freebee so to speak). What’s extremely alarming to me is that if I go to the asset and open the Splashtop control panel and look at the deployment code and the code there is not my code. If I put my code in there then the assets show back up. Thankfully the codes that appear there so far in the assets that have gone astray appear to be invalid codes (not linked to any valid Splashtop account) but it is super alarming to me. This has me extremely concerned from a security standpoint and I’m debating moving away from Syncro.
If I could only find out how to get there. There is nothing in my profile or account that links me to it. You guys really need to get things finished before you roll stuff out. Really disappointed in the way things have gone the last 18-24 months.
Hey everyone, I wanted to provide an update for the users being affected by this. Our developers believe they have isolated the issue and and are working on a fix. We’ll update folks when that fix is brought live, but I don’t have an ETA for that at this time. We are treating this as a very high priority.
Update your asset to 21H2 through windows updates or manually apply the patch to your endpoint. You will then lose your deployment relationship with Syncro and the ability to connect with Splashtop Business.
@anon19604621 states this is directly related to the Windows 21H2 update, but I’ve experienced it on a Windows Server 2016 machine (as well as on other Windows 10 workstations). I’ve had my own Splashtop on that server for years, just installed Syncro the other day and within an hour it removed my Splashtop, but the Splashtop RMM does still work through Syncro.
Hey everyone, I have a quick update for you on this. We apologize for the delay, this turned out to be a tricky issue. We just finished pushing an agent update that should resolve this. Once your agent has updated it may need to fully sync one more time and then any assets that erroneously had an instance of BYO Splashtop erroneously uninstalled should be reinstalled.
If anyone is seeing different behavior after their agents have updated and fully synced again, please let me know. Thanks.
