1.6 Discovered Devices

As devices are discovered, they are added to the ZENworks database and listed in the appropriate device type folder in the Discovered panel on the Discovered Devices page.

Each discovered device is categorized by type.

  • All Types: All discovered devices, regardless of type.

  • Servers: All discovered devices that have been identified as servers.

  • Workstations: All discovered devices that have been identified as workstations.

  • Printers: All discovered devices that have been identified as printers. ZENworks does not manage printers; therefore, you cannot deploy the ZENworks Agent to them.

  • DRAC Devices: All discovered devices that have been identified as Dell Remote Access Controllers (DRAC).

  • Intel AMT Devices: All discovered devices that have the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) capability.

  • Network Equipment: All discovered devices that have been identified as network equipment. This includes such devices as routers. ZENworks does not manage network equipment; therefore, you cannot deploy the ZENworks Agent to network equipment.

  • Thin Clients: All discovered devices that have been identified as thin clients.

  • Embedded Workstations: All discovered devices that have been identified as embedded workstations.

  • Other Devices: All discovered devices that have been identified but do not fit into one of the other categories. This category includes devices that already have the ZENworks Agent installed.

  • Unknown Devices: All discovered devices whose operating system cannot be identified. The devices might be listed as unknown because the firewall configuration of the device may block the usage of discovery technologies, or invalid credentials are provided to the discovery technology. You can deploy the ZENworks Agent to these devices if you can manually ensure that the agent is supported on these devices. For more information on list of supported devices, see Managed Device Requirements in ZENworks 2017 Update 2 System Requirements.

  • Deployable Types: All discovered devices that have been identified as types to which you can deploy the ZENworks Agent.

  • Devices Created Via ZENworks Migration: All devices that were migrated from ZENworks 7 through the ZENworks Migration utility.

  • Devices Created Via ZENworks Asset Management: All devices that were migrated from ZENworks Asset Management through the ZENworks Asset Management Migration utility.

1.6.1 Searching Discovered Devices

The search operation for discovered devices works a bit different when compared to other search operations in ZENworks Control Center.

  • To search a device that contains a specific word, prefix * before the word.

    Example: Specify *sap in the search field, all discovered devices that contains sap will be listed.

  • To search a device that starts with a word, suffix * after the keyword or just mention the keyword.

    Example: Either specify sap or sap* in the search field, all discovered devices that starts with sap will be listed.
