Inventory
Inventory includes information about the devices, applications, processes, startup programs, and services on managed devices on your network. Inventory is collected by the KACE Agent, which is installed on managed devices, uploaded using the inventory API, or obtained through connections to Agentless devices. You can view detailed data about individual managed devices, as well as aggregated data collected across all managed devices. In addition, you can use inventory information in reports, and in decisions about upgrades, troubleshooting, purchasing, policies, and so on. See Provisioning the KACE Agent.
IP Scans
See Discovery .
ITNinja
Sponsored by Quest KACE, ITNinja.com (formerly AppDeploy.com) is a product-agnostic IT-focused community website. It is the Internet’s leading destination for IT professionals to share information and ask questions about system management related topics. The website provides a question and answer section and a blogging platform. If you choose to share anonymous usage data with ITNinja, the ITNinja feed appears on pages such as the software, Managed Installation, and File Synchronization detail pages in the Administrator Console. The feed is not available on Software Catalog detail page. See Enable the ITNinja feed.

Quest publishes a base set of Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor (PerfMon) templates and non-Windows open-source Perl scripts on ITNinja, so that users can extend their server monitoring capability and identify system and application performance issues. These unmanaged templates and scripts are available for download so that users do not have to create them from scratch.

L

labels
Labels are containers that organize and categorize items, such as devices, so that you can manage them as a group. For example, you can use labels to identify devices that have the same operating system or that are in the same geographic location. You can then initiate actions, such as distributing software or deploying patches, on all of the devices that in that label. Labels can either be manually assigned to specific items or automatically assigned to items when they are associated with criteria, such as SQL or LDAP queries. See Setting up and using labels to manage groups of items.
label groups
Label groups enable you to organize labels so you can manage them as a group. Label groups share their types with the labels they contain. Not only can a label group include multiple labels, but a label can be associated with more than one label group. See Add, view, or edit label groups.
LDAP Browser
The LDAP Browser is a wizard that enables you to browse and search data located on an LDAP server, such as an Active Directory server. See Use the LDAP Browser.
LDAP Labels
LDAP labels are labels that interact with the Active Directory or LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. You can use LDAP Labels to automatically label device records and user records based on LDAP or Active Directory queries or search filters. LDAP Labels are applied to devices that match the search criteria. See Managing LDAP Labels.
linking
See appliance linking .
Localization component
A appliance component that enables you to choose the language to use for the Command Line Console, Administrator Console, and User Console. See Configuring locale settings.
Locally Cataloged applications
Applications that are not in the official version of the Software Catalog, but that have been added to the local version on the appliance, are referred to as Locally Cataloged applications. Locally Cataloged applications can be metered, marked as Not Allowed, and associated with License assets. See About Locally Cataloged applications.
Log Enablement Package
Log Enablement Packages (LEPs) enable performance threshold monitoring and monitoring for applications such as Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), and so on, for servers. In the Log Enablement Packages list page, Quest publishes a base set of Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor (PerfMon) templates and non-Windows open-source Perl scripts, so that users can extend their monitoring capability and identify system and application performance issues. Monitoring on the appliance works without these additional templates and scripts, but the profiles that are created from the templates and scripts are helpful if users want to do performance threshold monitoring. See Configuring application and threshold monitoring with Log Enablement Packages.

machines
See devices .
Mac profiles
Mac profiles are files that are used to configure user-level and system-level policies on Mac devices. You can use the appliance to distribute Mac profiles to Agent-managed devices running Mac OS X. See Managing Mac profiles.
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 Add MSI Installer scripts.
