    • Or by operating system type
  • Computers can also be targeted by NetBIOS name, Active Directory location or IP address.
• Pending Distributions for Offline Computers

  • Pending actions are applied the next time the relevant computers connect.
  • This avoids manually restarting a distribution when a workstation was powered off or unavailable.
