Arlecho's ScreenConnect 6 releases

[Sinauth]

ScreenConnect_23.3.17.8536_Release.msi has dropped.

I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet. If not, I can try it in approx 12 hours and report back.

[Sinauth]

I've tested and the issue is not with any extension but 100% with session.db, just as others reported.

Now, the issue for me is this. I initially added devices with a temporary name but then renamed them once I knew the name of the new starter/employee.

I also use Organisation & Department fields etc.

After upgrading, patching and renaming session.db and allowing session.db to regenerate, machines have reverted back to what was the initial install information.

Any ideas on a quick fix?

Still not working for me with update to 23.4 and new 3.2.0 patcher. Getting the same error as before with spin icon on web server probably related to session.db

Same here. Still not working. I upgraded from 23.2.9.8466 to 23.4.3.8545.

First off all, please stop quoting the release posts, just adds useles clutter.

For those with issues:

1: is the windows log giving any errors
2: is the webserver giving any errors
3: does the same happen if you disable all plugins and upgrade then?

(1) EDIT: JUST UPGRADED (FINALLY AFTER MULTIPLE DAYS OF PAIN)

I will post instructions here soon enough and hopefully, it works for others. I am just testing my theory right now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) UPDATED EDIT (04/06/2023): Ignore the above. Session DB keeps fucking up and I have to keep deleting.

All I did to break it was let session.db regenerate for an hour. I edited some session names for unattended access (keeps reverting back to the name when initially installed). Edited web config to enable auto-updates to new client version.

Error: https://imgur.com/S5t3WOA

I also get errors regarding date / time or something on admin pages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) FURTHER UPDATE: After it working and doing absolutely nothing other than rebooting the computer, session.db errors. https://imgur.com/a/qz1NLEj

Yes, it seems simply reboots will fuck session.db. Should be easy for you to test @Arlecho. If you can't replicate it, contact me and I can demonstrate it on a stream or discord screen share.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) CONTINUING TO BASH MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL UPDATE:

So with the latest ver of patcher and the latest SC ver. If you reboot or edit webconfig etc. SessionDB is screwed. To "fix" you have to open patcher, select number 2 to stop all services, delete SessionDB and then open services.msc to manually start all the ScreenConnect services. The last option of the patcher does not generate SessionDB.

This needs fixing as it's losing all my edited Session Unattended information every time SessionDB needs to be regenerated.

1 & 2: No errors that I could find. Where specifically should I look?
3: Yes, I disabled all extensions before upgrade. I also re-imaged the server and uninstalled all extensions before performing the upgrade but still encountered the same issue.

UPDATE: Tried another upgrade. If I click on the Security, Triggers or License links in the admin, I get this error:
"Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program."

UPDATE: Tried another update with ScreenConnect_23.5.1.8552_Debug.msi. Same issue but error is different.
"System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[ScreenConnect.SessionManagerFault]: Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program. (Fault Detail is equal to ScreenConnect.SessionManagerFault)."

UPDATE: I got tired of trying upgrades so I tried a fresh install. It was successful but now when I highlight a pre-existing Access client and select Reinstall, it installs a second client, with a different number (i.e., ScreenConnect Client (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)), on the remote machine. I copied the AsymmetricKey from the old web.config to the new one. If you perform a fresh SC server installation, what else are you supposed to do so that you can update existing clients without installing new ones? I guess it's time to reimage and go back to 23.2.9.8466
