Managing MIA devices

Managing MIA devices

Configure MIA settings
Apply labels to MIA devices
Delete MIA devices manually
Troubleshoot devices that fail to appear in inventory

Devices that are under management but that have not communicated with the appliance in the last 1 to 90 days are considered to be MIA (missing in action) or out-of-reach. You can configure MIA device settings and manage MIA devices as needed.

* 
NOTE: Your product license agreement entitles you to manage a specified number of devices that are classified as Managed Computers, Monitored Devices, and Assets. Be aware that devices count toward these limits even if devices are MIA (missing in action) or no longer in use. However, devices that are added to inventory manually, or through the API, do not count toward license limits. See View product licensing information.
NOTE: To increase your license capacity, go to the Quest website: https://quest.com/buy.

Configure MIA settings

Configure MIA settings

You can configure the appliance to automatically delete MIA devices from inventory after devices have not checked in for a specified number of days. Automatically deleting MIA devices can reduce the need to delete MIA devices manually.

Be aware that the process that deletes MIA devices runs daily at 03:45, and it can delete up to 100 devices during a single run. If there are more than 100 MIA devices to be deleted, or if you must delete devices immediately, consider deleting devices manually.

1.
Go to the Devices list:
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 Dashboard.
2.
Select Choose Action > Configure MIA Settings to display the MIA Settings page.
