Find computers with problems and separate them

This function helps identify computers that have not been reachable for an extended period. Lan-Inspector cannot determine automatically whether a computer is still active or merely remains in the database after being retired. Use the available filters and scan history to identify these objects and separate or remove them as appropriate.

If the counter of failed scans for an individual computer reaches a specified value, the computer either has problems or it is probably “dead”. In both cases you can become active: fix the problems locally on the client or remove the object from the database. If the critical value is reached, the objected computers will be sorted into another group in the tree of locations: “Problem computers”. If this group doesn’t exist, the system will create it automatically. You can then have a look at the computers of this group to work on the problems. Either delete the object or fix the problem.

In case you have fixed the problem and if the computer doesn’t fail the scan anymore, the system automatically pushes it back into its original group.
