Operating Systems
Device42 tracks which devices are running which Operating Systems (OS). This module also ties into Software License Management so that you can see how many copies you are licensed for and how many you are actually using.
Navigate to Resources > Operating Systems > All Operating Systems to locate the Operating Systems list.
If the OS is standardized and enriched by the EnrichAI Cloud Service, an AI icon will be displayed to the right of its name.
The Operating Systems list page shows all of your operating systems and includes the Total Count of devices running the OS, the Discovered Licensed Count, and the number of OSs that are not licensed (named Discovered Non-Licensed Count). If you click on one of the listed operating systems, you will see details including which machines are running the OS.
EnrichAI Operating System Fields
If the OS record has been enriched, key maintenance dates may be displayed in the Enriched Data section along with other OS details.
See the Operating System Attributes and Key Support Dates sections of the EnrichAI Data page for the list of fields that can be populated through EnrichAI.
Note that data will only be populated by EnrichAI if it's used by the OS vendor and if the data is available.
Operating System fields that contain data from EnrichAI cannot be edited or changed.
Disable OS changes via API, Discovery, or EnrichAI
You can prevent non-manual changes being made to OS data. On the OS view, click the Edit button and turn on the Don't change via API/Discovery/EnrichAI option for device OSs.
