Computer and User Properties

Properties such as ID, name, reporting settings and execution settings are shown for every objectin the Organization view in the Detail window tab Properties.

These properties are stored in the DSMDB. Properties which can be edited can be edited either in the Detail window tab Properties or in the Packaging Workbench. The Detail window tab Properties contains a brief description of the properties.

All computers in the Organization Tree have a predefined set of properties. These include Initial MAC address, Installed Operating System and Last logged on user.
These properties are automatically reported by the DSM Client to the DSMDB as soon as the computer is managed. When this data has been included in the DSMDB, the computer is displayed as "managed" and the properties of the computer appear in the DSMC.

Every user object has a predefined set of properties. These include above all the Name and Complete Name.
The user is uniquely identified by means of these properties.
