Fix Recommendation

For systems which do not have a valid key for the Tanium Server, redeploy the client software from Tanium using the Tanium Client Deployment Tool or work with the Tanium System Administrator to accomplish this.

Check Contents

The Tanium endpoint makes a connection to the Tanium Server; the endpoint's copy of the Tanium Server's public key is used to verify the validity of the registration day coming from the Tanium Server.

If any endpoint systems do not have the correct Tanium Server public key in its configuration, they will not perform any instructions from the Tanium Server and a record of those endpoints will be listed in the Tanium Server's System Status.

To validate, Click on the navigation button (hamburger menu) on the top left of the console.

Click on "Administration".

Select the "System Status" tab.

Change "Show systems that have reported in the last:", enter "7" in the first field.

Select "Days" from the drop down menu in the second field to determine if any endpoints connected with an invalid key.

If any systems are listed with "No" in the "Valid Key" column, this is a finding.
