  • Enabling or Disabling Endpoint Modules within a Group

    From the groups page, you can disable an agent's individual modules. Disable an endpoint's module component if it will be unused for a prolonged period. You can re-enable the endpoint module at any time.

    Prerequisites:

    Endpoints must have the applicable agent module installed, and the endpoint must be licensed for the agent module. For additional information, refer to Installing Endpoint Modules.

    Enable or disable a module within a group from the Endpoint Membership view.

    1. From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
    2. From the View list, select Endpoint Membership.
    3. Select a group from the directory tree.

      You may select a group that is either in the Custom Groups or Systems Groups hierarchy.

      To enable a disabled module component:

      Select Enable > Enable Module.

      To disable an enabled endpoint:

      1. Select Enable > Enable Module.
      2. Acknowledge the disablement by clicking OK.

    The applicable endpoint module components are enabled or disabled. The Endpoint Membership view and Endpoints page reflect your changes.

    Disabling an endpoint module within a group is not limited to the group; the endpoint module is completely disabled within the Ivanti Endpoint Security system.

    Managing Endpoint Modules (Groups Page)

    Using Scan Now to Scan Groups

    You can initiate a Discover Applicable Updates (DAU) task for all endpoints in a selected group or only selected endpoint within the group. When you initiate this task, the agent scans its host endpoint for vulnerabilities and inventory. Scan results are then uploaded to Ivanti Endpoint Security, which you can view.

    You can launch a DAU task for all endpoints in a selected group or individual endpoints in a selected group. Perform this task from the Groups page Endpoint Membership view.

    1. From the Navigation Menu, select Manage > Groups.
    1. From the View list, select Endpoint Membership.
    2. Select the Patch and Remediation tab.
    3. From the directory tree, select the group containing endpoints you want to schedule DAU tasks for.
    4. Schedule a task for the entire group or individual endpoints. Use one of the following methods.
    5. Method

      Steps

      To schedule a task for an entire group:

      1. From the toolbar, click Scan Now.
      2. Select Yes, scan all members of the selected group check box.
