My Machine Lists
When you schedule an audit task, you need to indicate which systems on the network you want
the task to audit. The way to do that is to compile a machine list. A machine list collects in one
place the names of the systems you want to audit in one session. Once you compile one or more
machine lists, you can assign them to audit tasks.
In machine lists, systems are indicated by their system name or IP address. A machine list might
include all systems in an organization, a department, a geographic territory, domain, or the entire
network.
From the My Machine Lists page you add, edit, or delete a machine list. These machine lists,
unlike any machine lists created in the console application (global machine lists), are secure
personal lists. You must be logged in as the same user that created a list in order to use it,
unless you belong to a Windows User Group listed in the Edit Private Items field in the Item
Rights options.
Tip: When you schedule an audit, you can use either the machine lists created on this page or
machine lists created in the console application (global machine lists). If all the machine lists you
want to use were already created in the console, you do not have to create any machine lists
here.
The table at the top of the My Machine Lists page contains the following information:
Column Description
