Viewing the Device Summary
Clicking on the Device tab displays the Device Summary table. The table shows all managed devices, devices that have not yet contacted AUS, or devices whose image files are not up to date. The table contains information about the devices in AUS, such as the device ID, platform family, platform type, and the last time that a device contacted AUS.
These topics help you understand and use the Device Summary table:

Requesting an Auto Update
Sometimes, you might want to request that a device immediately contact AUS to ensure that your devices have the newest files running on them, instead of waiting for the device to contact AUS at the specified interval. For example, you may want to request that a device contact AUS if the security of your network has been affected.
 |
Caution Requesting that a large number of devices immediately contact AUS can result in performance issues. |
