Status - By Machine

Software Deployment > Status > By Machine

The Status - By Machine page identifies the software titles that are in compliance or out of compliance for a selected machine. The Scan Log results on the right side of the page identifies the version and compliance status of all software installed on a machine that is included in your Master Catalog. Hover the cursor over a compliance status icon to display a tooltip description. The list of machines displayed depends on the machine ID / group ID filter and the user's scope.

One Time Scans

The Status - By Machine and Status - By Software Title pages can schedule a one-time scan for one or more machines to update their Scan Log results. A one-time scan is scheduled independently of the recurring scan schedules already assigned to these machines. For example, if recurring scans are weekly, you may want to scan a machine immediately without waiting for the next scheduled recurring scan.

Recurring Scans

All machines are assigned a run once Default Baseline Scan Schedule and a recurring Default Latest Scan Schedule the first time they are assigned to a profile, using the Application Settings > Schedule tab. Scheduling a recurring latest scan using this page overrides the default recurring latest scan schedule.

Auto run scan

If Auto run scan when machines are added is checked in a profile, a machine is scanned immediately after being assigned to that profile. This ensures at least one scan has occurred before a scheduled deployment.

Machine Actions

• Schedule Scan
  • Baseline Scan - Schedules a baseline scan on selected machines. A baseline scan serves as a benchmark for comparison with the latest scan. See Software Deployment - Machine Changes.
  • Latest Scan - Schedules a latest scan on selected machines. The latest scan is compared with assigned profiles to determine a machine's compliance with specified software.
  • Schedule a run once or recurring Latest Scan or a run once Baseline Scan using the following options.
    • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading. For example, if the scheduled time for a task is 3:00 AM, and the distribution window is 1 hour, then the task schedule will be changed to run at a random time between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
    • Skip if offline - If checked and the machine is offline, skip and run the next scheduled period and time. If blank and the machine is offline, run the task as soon as the machine is online again.
    • Power up if offline - Windows only. If checked, powers up the machine if offline. Requires Wake-On-LAN or vPro and another managed system on the same LAN.
    • Exclude the following time range - Applies only to the distribution window. If checked, specifies a time range to exclude the scheduling of a task within the distribution window. Specifying a time range outside of the distribution window is ignored by the scheduler.
• Run Scan Now
  • Baseline Scan - Runs a baseline scan on selected machines immediately.
  • Latest Scan - Runs a latest scan on selected machines immediately.
• Agent
  • Set Credentials - Sets the credentials of the agent. A credential is required to install software. This is the same credential set using using Agent > Manage Agents.
  • Test Credentials - Tests the credentials of the agent.
• Refresh - Refreshes the page.

Machine Table Columns

• Org ID - The unique identifier of an organization in the VSA.
• Machine Group - The machine group and organization a machine is a member of in the VSA.
• Machine.GroupID - A unique machine ID / group ID / organization ID name for a machine in the VSA.

Scan Log Actions

• Deploy Now - Deploys selected software titles and versions to a selected machine immediately.
• Uninstall Now - Uninstalls a selected software title from a selected machine immediately. Uninstalled software titles are tracked by managed machine. A profile will not reinstall a software title, including newer versions, if it was previously uninstalled. You must explicitly install the software title by clicking the Deploy Now button. Uninstall options can include reboots, pre-procedures and post-procedures. These uninstall options are specified when adding or editing the installer in the local software catalog of the Catalog page.
• View History - Displays a selected machine's task history.
• Refresh - Refreshes the page.
