Server identification is a process of identifying whether a scanned device is a server or a workstation from the obtained scan data.
Server Identification works on some criteria. Servers are differentiated from the workstations using these criteria.
The criteria are as follows:
Servers are identified if the OS name from the scanned data has the following values:
Servers are identified if the Service tag from the scanned data has the following values:
If the scanned device's data doesn't match any of the criteria set for the server, then the device will be placed under workstations.
Chassis type ID from scanned data is used to classify devices into groups such as Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, All in PC etc.
If the devices are manually changed to a particular asset type(Workstation) then the server identification logic won't apply to such devices.
Virtual Hosts and Virtual Machines are treated as servers.
