M

machines
See devices .
Managed Computers
Your product license agreement entitles you to manage a specified number of devices that are categorized as Managed Computers. Managed Computers are devices in appliance inventory that: 1) have Windows, Mac, Linux, or UNIX operating systems, 2) are categorized as PCs or servers, and 3) were not added to inventory manually, through the WSAPI, or through mobile device management. See View product licensing information.
Managed Installations
Managed Installations (MI) are the primary mechanism for deploying or removing applications from appliance managed devices. Each Managed Installation describes a specific application title and version to be installed or removed, including installation commands, installation files, and target devices (by label). Managed Installations always take place at the same time that managed devices upload inventory data to the appliance. In this way, the appliance confirms that the installation is actually needed before it performs the installation. Installation packages can be configured to run silently or with user interaction. Managed Installations can include installation, uninstallation, and command-line parameters. See Using Managed Installations.
manual labels
See labels .
metering
Software metering enables you to collect information about how applications are installed and used on the Windows and Mac devices that you manage. This includes Windows Store applications, such as Bing Travel. Metering is not available for applications installed other operating systems, such as Linux. In the Software Catalog, metering can be enabled for applications that are listed as Discovered and Not Discovered and for applications that are Locally Cataloged. Metering cannot be enabled for operating system software, applications installed on unsupported operating systems, such as Linux, or for applications that are listed as Uncataloged in the Software Catalog. See About software metering.
MIA
Missing in action. Devices that are being managed by the appliance, but that have not been inventoried on schedule are referred to as MIA devices. See Managing MIA devices.
Mobile Device Access
Mobile Device Access enables you to interact with the appliance using KACE GO.

KACE GO is an app that enables administrators to access Service Desk tickets, inventory information, and application deployment features from their smart phones or tablets. The app also allows non-admin users to submit Service Desk tickets, view the status of submitted tickets, and read Knowledge Base articles from their mobile devices. You can download KACE GO from the Apple App Store for iOS devices, or from the Google Play Store for Android devices.

See Configuring Mobile Device Access.

Monitored Servers
Your product license agreement entitles you to manage a specified number of devices that are categorized as Monitored Servers. Monitored Servers are servers that 1) meet the requirements for Managed Computers and 2) have Monitoring enabled. You can monitor 5 servers with your appliance license. If you want to be able to monitor up to 200 servers, you must obtain a license for the Monitoring Module. See View product licensing information and Managing monitoring for devices.
MSI Installer template
This template enables you to create a script that sets the basic command line arguments for running MSI-based installers. For command-line options, go to the Microsoft MSI Command-Line documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com. See .

nodes
See devices .
non-computer devices
Non-computer devices are assets such as printers, routers, network gear, and other devices that do not meet the definition of Computers. Administrators can create Asset Subtypes to track information related to specific non-computer devices. See About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences.
Not Allowed applications
Not Allowed applications are applications that have been marked as Not Allowed on the Software Catalog page. Windows and Mac applications can be marked as Not Allowed only if they are classified as Discovered, Not Discovered, or Locally Cataloged applications. Applications that are Uncataloged cannot be marked as Not Allowed until they are added to the Software Catalog. Applications that are marked as Not Allowed can be blocked from running on managed devices if those devices have an Application Control-enabled label applied to them. See Using Application Control.
Not Discovered applications
Applications that do not exist in the inventory, but that do exist in the Quest KACE Software Catalog, are referred to as Not Discovered applications. You can enable metering for Not Discovered applications, mark them as Not Allowed, and add license information for them. However, because the applications have not been found in the local appliance inventory, the Not Discovered software list cannot be exported in CSV format. Compare to Discovered applications . See Not Discovered applications.
notifications
Notifications are email messages the appliance sends to administrators when devices, scan results, and assets meet specified criteria. For example, if you want to notify administrators when devices approach disk space limits, you can set up alerts based on disk usage. Notifications are sent when devices meet the specified criteria.

The appliance checks inventory against the criteria in the notification schedules at the specified frequency. When an item meets the criteria, the appliance sends email to the specified recipients.

Messages that are sent through email based on selected criteria and at scheduled intervals. See Scheduling notifications.

O

Offline KScripts
Scripts that run at a scheduled time, based on the target device’s clock. Offline KScripts can run even when target devices are not connected to the appliance, such as when devices start up or when users log in. You can create these scripts using the scripting templates. See Adding and editing scripts.
Online KScripts
Scripts that run only when a target device is connected to the appliance. Online KScripts run at scheduled times based on the appliance clock. You can create these scripts using the scripting templates. See Adding and editing scripts.
Online shell scripts
Scripts that run at scheduled times based on the appliance clock, but that run only when the target device is connected to the appliance. Online shell scripts are created using simple text-based scripts, such as Bash, Perl, batch, and so on, that are supported by the target device’s operating system. Batch files are supported on Windows, along with the different shell script formats supported by the specific operating system of the target devices. See Adding and editing scripts.
Organization component
An appliance component that enables you to create and manage organizations within the appliance. This makes it possible to assign devices to separate organizations and to create User Roles within each organization to control administrator and user access. For example, you can configure organizations so that administrators can only view and perform actions on devices in their organization; they cannot view devices that belong to other organizations.

See Creating and managing organizations.

organization filters
Organization filters are similar to labels, but they serve a specific purpose: Organization filters automatically assign devices to organizations when devices are inventoried.

There are two types of organization filters:

•
Data Filter: Assigns devices to organizations automatically, based on search criteria. When devices are inventoried, they are assigned to the organization if they meet the criteria. This filter is similar to Smart Labels in that it assigns devices to organizations automatically if they match specified criteria.
•
LDAP Filter: Assigns devices to organizations automatically based on LDAP or Active Directory interaction. When devices are inventoried, the query runs against the LDAP server. If devices meet the criteria, they are automatically assigned to the organization.
See Managing organization filters.
organizations
Organizations are logical instances of an appliance that run on a single appliance. You can create organizations if the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, each organization is supported by its own database, and you manage each organization’s inventory and other components separately. See Creating and managing organizations.

P

patching
Patching is a mechanism for deploying security-related and other important patches from Microsoft, Apple, and other third-party vendors such as Adobe. This includes patches for operating systems as well as applications. When deploying patches in a production environment, you can select which operating systems you want to patch and define schedules for patching by using labels. See About patch management.
provisioning schedules
Provisioning schedules specify how and when to install the KACE Agent on devices you want to manage using Agent software. See Managing provisioning schedules.
provisioning
The process of installing the KACE Agent on managed devices. See Provisioning the KACE Agent.
