How can we improve the SMA?

← KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA)

Allow turning off software discovery on chosen machines

There are situations when certain machine should have agent installed but software dscovery is causing problems when it comes to license compliance, like file servers. Ability to turn off software discovery or at least exclude drives/folders from it would be usefull.

    This feature would be very useful us. Having controls around whether or not the catalog inventory runs, or what locations it scans when it runs seems essential for certain clients.

    We have several servers with large file shares, and when the catalog inventory runs, it causes performance issues on the disks since its also scanning the shares for any executables. For larger file shares, this process takes a long time and clients either get very large delays or time out issues.

    With DAC software can be targetted to specific machines only. The goal is to move totally to DAC, but that is a complex process that will take time to tackle.
