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.

R

Replication Shares
Replication Shares are devices that keep copies of files for distribution, and they are especially useful if your managed devices are deployed across multiple geographic locations. For example, using a Replication Share, a device in New York could download files from another device at the same office, rather than downloading those files from an appliance in Los Angeles. A Replication Share is a full replication of all digital assets and is managed automatically by the appliance. Whenever a Replication Share is specified for a label, devices in that label go to the Replication Share to get files. See Using Replication Shares.
reporting
The ability to gather information about hardware, software, and license compliance on a per-device basis. You can run standard reports, or create custom reports using a step-by-step report wizard. In addition, you can schedule reports to run and be delivered through email. Advanced users can also write reports against the appliance database using any ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) -compliant reporting engine. See Using reports and scheduling notifications.
resources
Items such as scripts, reports, Managed Installations, and software that can be imported or exported among organizations and appliances. See Importing and exporting appliance resources.
role
The permissions related to user accounts and organizations. See:
•
Managing System-level user accounts
•
Managing organization user accounts
•
Managing Organization Roles and User Roles
•
Create and assign monitoring-specific roles
