Console Shows Windows Server Instead of Windows Enterprise for Virtual Desktops (or Windows Enterprise multi-session)

Products

• Carbon Black App Control (formerly Cb Protection)

Issue/Introduction

Agent installed on Windows Enterprise for Virtual Desktops or Windows Enterprise multi-session shows as a Windows Server in the Console.

Environment

• App Control Console: All Supported Versions
• App Control Agent: 8.0.x - 8.8.2
• Microsoft Windows Enterprise for Virtual Desktops
• Microsoft Windows Enterprise (multi-session)

Cause

Microsoft reports this OS version as ProductType 3 which is the same value as Windows Server:

This property keeps the OS compatible with existing RDSH management tooling, RDSH multi-session-aware applications, and mostly low-level system performance optimizations for RDSH environments

Resolution

This issue was tracked under EP-16811 and fixed with the release of Agent version 8.9.0, upgrading will resolve the issue.

• EP-16811: Fixed an issue where Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-Session Displayed as "Windows Server 2019" in the console.
