7.2 Detecting non-Software Distribution clients

An action is implemented when a client security level is judged according to a security policy, based on inventory information collected from a client on which JP1/Software Distribution is installed. To accurately assess the status of client security measures, JP1/Software Distribution must be installed on the client.

When search host is performed on JP1/Software Distribution Manager, the non-Software Distribution clients are detected from those on the network, and the installation status of JP1/Software Distribution can be checked.

With JP1/Software Distribution, a non-Software Distribution client is called a non-Software Distribution host. These hosts include servers and UNIX machines other than clients. Note that the client security control system supports only Windows machines. Therefore, machines other than Windows machines must be excluded from non-Software Distribution host detection.

This section describes how to detect non-Software Distribution clients and how to exclude non-Windows machines from detection.
