Using Agentless management

Managing Agentless devices
Using SNMP Inventory Configurations to identify specific SNMP objects and non-computer devices to add to inventory

Use Agentless device management if you want to manage devices without the need to deploy and maintain the KACE Agent software on those devices.

About Agentless device management

Operating systems supported by Agentless management
About enabling Agentless management on Agent-managed devices

Agentless device management is a method of managing devices without the need to deploy and maintain the KACE Agent software on those devices.

Agentless management uses SSH, SNMP, and other methods to connect to Agent-intolerant devices, such as printers, network devices, and storage devices, and report the collected inventory information to the appliance Administrator Console. Using Agentless management is useful for operating system versions and distributions that are not supported by the KACE Agent, and where Agentless management is preferred over installing the Agent.

There are some differences between the features that are supported for Agent devices and Agentless devices. See Features available for each device management method.

Operating systems supported by Agentless management

Agentless management supports a variety of device operating systems.

The following table shows the device operating systems that are supported by Agentless management:

Operating system

CentOS

Chrome OS

Debian

Fedora

FreeBSD

Mac OS X

Oracle Enterprise Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux*

SUSE*

Solaris

Ubuntu*

Windows

Windows Server

*Most recent versions can also be managed with the KACE Agent.

* 
NOTE: For non-computer devices such as assets, or devices without operating systems that Agentless management supports, you can map SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) OIDs (Object Identifiers) to particular fields in the inventory table. As a result, you can identify specific devices to be inventoried so that you can expand the inventory of Agentless-managed devices. See Using SNMP Inventory Configurations to identify specific SNMP objects and non-computer devices to add to inventory.
About enabling Agentless management on Agent-managed devices

Agentless management can be enabled for any discovered device, including devices that have the KACE Agent installed.

However, using both methods for managing a single device is not recommended. If both methods are enabled for a device, both the device, and its software, appear twice on inventory lists. As a result, it is better to not to enable Agentless management on Agent-managed devices.
