S

SAM
SAM is short for Software Asset Management, a method of managing applications in inventory. See Managing Software Catalog inventory.
Samba share
The built-in file sharing system on the appliance. See Enable file sharing at the System level.
SCAP
SCAP (Secure Content Automation Protocol), is a set of open standards that enumerate software flaws, monitor security-related configurations and product names, and examine systems to determine the presence of vulnerabilities and rank (score) the impact of the discovered security issues on Windows devices. SCAP is maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and its use is mandated by government agencies such as the US OMB (United States Office of Management and Budget).

SCAP uses the US government’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which is a standards-based vulnerability management data repository. NVD includes databases of security checklists, security-related software flaws, misconfigurations, product names, and impact metrics. For more information on SCAP and NVD, go to the NIST websites at http://scap.nist.gov/index.html and http://nvd.nist.gov/.

See About SCAP.

scripting
The ability to create and run a set of actions on managed devices. Scripts can be designed to do many different things, from installing or removing applications to verifying and changing settings, such as firewall settings, on managed devices. Scripts are deployed and run based on labels and schedules that you define, operating independently of the inventory process that is central to Managed Installations. See Adding and editing scripts.
scripts
See Offline KScripts , Online KScripts , and Online shell scripts .
Server monitoring
The appliance offers a module with which to perform basic performance monitoring for servers in inventory. The monitoring feature targets server-class operating systems, and provides default monitoring profiles that define criteria for performance alerts for each operating system. You can define additional, custom profiles that point to alternative event logs or OS level logs, with similar or different criteria.
Service Desk
Service Desk is the default name for the end-user trouble-ticket tracking system that is part of the appliance User Console. The Service Desk enables end users to submit trouble tickets through email or through the User Console, http://<appliance_hostname>/user, where <appliance_hostname> is the hostname of your appliance. Your help desk team manages these tickets through email, the Administrator Console, http://<appliance_hostname>/admin, or the KACE GO app. You can customize the categories and fields associated with tickets as needed. See About Service Desk.
Share With Quest
The options for sharing appliance information with Quest. See Configure data sharing preferences.
single sign on for appliances
See appliance linking .
single sign on for the Administrator Console and User Console
Single sign on enables users who are logged on to the domain to access the appliance Administrator Console and User Console without having to re-enter their credentials on the appliance login page. See About single sign on (SSO).
Smart Labels
Smart Labels are labels that are applied and removed automatically based on criteria you specify. For example, to track laptops in a specific office, you could create a label called “San Francisco Office,” and create a Smart Label based on the IP address range or subnet for devices located in the San Francisco office. Whenever a device that falls within the IP address range is inventoried, the Smart Label “San Francisco” is automatically applied. When the device leaves the IP address range, and is inventoried again, the label is automatically removed.

Smart Labels are applied to and removed from managed devices when the appliance processes device inventory. So if you create a Smart Label that enables metering on devices, it might take time for the Smart Label to be applied to devices and for devices to report metering information. Metering is enabled for devices that match the Smart Label criteria only after devices are inventoried and the Smart Label is applied.

See Managing Smart Labels.

Software Catalog
The Software Catalog is a database that contains standardized information about more than 57,000 Windows and Mac applications and software suites. Information in the catalog includes the name, version, publisher, and category of each application or suite as well as the operating system on which the application or suite runs. See Managing Software Catalog inventory.
software category
Software categories classify software as belonging to a specified group, such as software drivers or security applications. For applications listed on the Software page, categories are assigned manually. For applications listed on the Software Catalog page, software categories are assigned to applications automatically. See Using software threat levels and categories.

T

tether
The connection to Quest Support. The tether enables Quest representatives to connect to your system for troubleshooting. See Enable a tether to Quest KACE Support.
task throughput
The task load on the appliance. See Konductor .
third-party applications
Applications created by third-parties and licensed for use in Quest KACE products.
threat levels
Threat levels can be used to indicate the relative safety of items and the number of devices on which those items are located. This information is for tracking purposes only. The appliance does not enforce policies based on threat levels. See Using software threat levels and categories.

U

Uncataloged applications
Uncataloged applications are executables that are in the inventory but that do not appear in the Software Catalog. You can view applications that are listed as Uncataloged on the Software Catalog page. However, you cannot enable metering for Uncataloged applications, mark them as Not Allowed, or add license information for them. Uncataloged applications must be added to the local or public Software Catalog before they can be metered, marked as Not Allowed, or associated with license information. See Uncataloged applications.
User Console
The User Console is the web-based interface that makes software, scripts, and other downloadable items available to users on a self-service basis. It also enables users to access Knowledge Base articles and to file Service Desk support tickets to request help or report issues. To access the User Console, go to http://<appliance_hostname>/user where <appliance_hostname> is the hostname of your appliance. See About Service Desk.
User Downloads
User Downloads are software installation packages, such as printer drivers and other applications, that are distributed to users through the User Console. See Managing User Downloads.

V

virtual appliance
See appliance or virtual appliance .
Vulnerability Testing
Vulnerability testing is the process of scanning, and establishing schedules to scan, Windows devices for known vulnerabilities using the Open Vulnerability Assessment Language (OVAL) battery of tests. Vulnerability testing is a useful complement to patching and other forms of security hardening to verify whether those measures are addressing known issues. See About OVAL security checks.
