Audit > DNS/DHCP

Show me an explanation of the items on this page.

DNS/DHCP displays DNS servers, DHCP server, Primary and Secondary WINS server information for specified user accounts.

How do I view the DNS, DHCP and WINS information about an individual client machine or group of client machines?

Information shown in this function is collected when a Latest Audit is performed.

By going to the DNS/DHCP function of the Audit tab, you can obtain DNS, DHCP and WINS information. To see all administered machines in all groups, enter an asterisk (*) in the Machine ID field of the Specify Accounts area.

A client machine needs to have performed a Latest Audit recently in order for the DNS/DHCP information to be up to date. If a function is not used on the client machine, not available is shown. For example, Secondary WINS servers are often not utilized.
