About Device Discovery and device management

About Device Discovery and device management

Devices that can be discovered include laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, virtual devices, printers, network devices, wireless access points, routers, switches and more.

These devices can be discovered even if they do not have the KACE Agent installed on them. You can run Discovery scans on-demand or schedule scans to run at specific times.

Discovery Results show the availability and details of devices. After devices are discovered, you can add devices to inventory by:

•
Installing the KACE Agent on devices. The KACE Agent can be installed on Windows, Mac®, Red Hat®, SUSE®, and Ubuntu® devices. See Provisioning the KACE Agent.
•
Enabling Agentless management for devices. Agentless management is especially useful for devices that cannot have the KACE Agent installed, such as devices with unsupported operating systems. See Managing Agentless devices.
