Filter the list​

Select Show Filters to narrow the list further. The filters combine, and the link changes to Show Filters (filters applied) while any filter is active. Select Clear Filters to remove them all.

  • System Name: Part of the computer name.
  • Domain: One or more of your domains, or Other.
  • OU: An organizational unit.
  • Operating System: Windows Workstation, Windows Server, Linux, or Unknown.
  • Jita Sessions: Show Active lists only systems with an active JITA session.
  • Offline Access and Strategy: The Offline Access Management state and its policy strategy.
  • Added, Last Logon, and Last Scanned: A time window, such as 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. Last Scanned also offers Never.
  • Account with access, Access Path, and Access Type: Systems that a specific user or group can administer, and how. Administrators see these filters.

For example, to find the Windows servers that nobody has scanned in a month, select Windows Server under Operating System, then select Last Scanned and choose a window. Combine it with the Scan Errors view to see why.
