Active directory computers view

About

This view shows a list of all computers received by Miradore Active Directory connector.

It can be used to deploy Miradore client to assets and make a follow-up that all Miradore clients work by searching for computers that have been active in AD but the Miradore client last seen date is not updated.

Importing computers from Microsoft Active Directory

In the connector settings at "Administration > System settings > Connectors > AD connector item page, it is possible to enable/disable the import of computer objects from Microsoft Active Directory.

Task

Description

Print

Prints the view contents.

Export

By default, this task exports all the view contents in the selected file format. However, you can use the check boxes in the view to export selected rows only. You can select rows for the export from one page of the view at a time.

The supported file formats for the data export are CSV, Excel, and PDF. In some views, configuration items can be also exported to a group distribution.

Tools > Install Miradore client

Installs Miradore client to the selected devices.

In the popup which opens, you can select which user account and client deployer should be used to install the client.

In addition, there is a check box  "Prefer IP over device name". When this is selected, the client installation uses IP address for connecting to the device. This is useful, for example, if there is many devices with the same device name in the Miradore instance, or if the device name has been changed recently.

The client installation status can be seen from Miradore client installations view (Operations > Software management > Installation status > Miradore client installations).
