Add a Discovery Schedule for a Google Workspace device

Add a Discovery Schedule for a Google Workspace device

To scan your network for Google Workspace devices and capture information about those devices, add an External Integration Schedule.

•
You have a Google Apps for Business domain or Google Apps for Education domain, with Chrome Device Management support.
•
You have a Google User admin account that is a member of the business or education domain. The account must be assigned the super user role.
•
You have a Google account to be used as your developer account, and have created a project with a Client ID and Client Secret. See Obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for use in discovering Chrome devices.
* 
NOTE: Any Google Workspace devices discovered using this method do not count toward the appliance license limit.
1.
Go to the Discovery Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Discovery Schedules.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
Select the Discovery Type to display the form with the options for the selected type, in this case External Integration [KACE Cloud Mobile Device Manager, Google Workspace, Workspace ONE].
3.
In the Name field, enter a name for the scan.
This name appears on the Discovery Schedules page.
4.
Expand Google Workspace and select the Discovery options.

Option

Description

Discover Chrome Devices

If selected, any Chrome devices will be discovered in the next scan.

Discover Mobile Devices

If selected, any Google Workspace mobile devices will be discovered in the next scan.

Credentials

The details of the account that is used to connect to the Chrome device. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add credentials not already listed.

Important:
 
IMPORTANT: The selected credential must have an approval code that can be associated with the appropriate device type. For example, if you want to discover G Suite mobile devices, you cannot use a credential whose approval code is generated for Chrome devices.

For more information, see Add and edit Google Workspace credentials.

Auto Provision Devices

If selected, all Chrome devices discovered in the next scan are added to inventory.

* 
NOTE: Use this option with care, to avoid expanding your inventory to an unexpected extent.

Add a Discovery Schedule for a VMware ESXi host or a vCenter Server

Add a Discovery Schedule for a VMware ESXi host or a vCenter Server

If your business uses a virtual VMware-based environment, you can discover VMware ESXi hosts or vCenter Servers using discovery scheduling. To scan your network for VMware ESXi hosts or vCenter Servers and capture information about those devices, add an Authenticated Discovery Schedule.

A provisioned VMware ESXi host consumes an Agent-based license. Virtual machines associated with that host do not consume any licenses. The vCenter in which the ESXi host is running does not consume a license. It acts as a bridge to connect to provisioned ESXi hosts.

Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager

Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager

If your business uses a virtual Hyper-V-based environment, you can discover Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) devices using discovery scheduling. To scan your network for Hyper-V or SCVMM devices, and to capture information about those devices, add an Authenticated Discovery Schedule.

The devices imported into the appliance using this method do not consume any licenses. Each SCVMM and Hyper-V device consumes only an agentless license used to inventory the underlying Windows systems. SCVMM and Hyper-V devices that are also provisioned with the KACE Agent each consume two licenses.

Go to the Discovery Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.

Expand the WinRM, Hyper-V, VMM section and configure the Discovery options.

Option

Description

Timeout

The time, in seconds, up to 1 minute, after which the connection is closed if there is no activity.

Require Kerberos

If selected, Kerberos is required for authentication. NTLM will not be used as an alternative when Kerberos is unavailable.

Using Kerberos requires DNS Lookup to be enabled in the same discovery configuration. The DNS Server is also required in the local appliance network settings.

Scan for Hyper-V and Virtual Machine Manager

Select this option to allow the appliance to import a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager infrastructure using agentless management. For more information about this feature, see Add a Discovery Schedule for a Microsoft Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager.

Port

If this field is left blank, the default port 5985 is used.

Credentials

The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select an existing credential from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add a new credential, as required.

See Add and edit User/Password credentials.
