You can use this function to identify “dead“ computers that couldn’t be reached for a long time. The Lan-Inspector cannot know if a computer is still active or if it just exists in the data base while in reality it has long been taken away. But the system knows how often a computer failed a scan.
If the counter of failed scans for an individual computer reaches a specified value, the computer either has problems or it is probably “dead”. In both cases you can become active: fix the problems locally on the client or remove the object from the data base. If the critical value is reached, the objected computers will be sorted into another group in the tree of locations: “Problem computers”. If this group doesn’t exist, the system will create it automatically. You can then have a look at the computers of this group to work on the problems. Either delete the object or fix the problem.
In case you have fixed the problem and if the computer doesn’t fail the scan anymore, the system automatically pushes it back into its original group.
