Server Identification

Server identification is a process of identifying whether a scanned device is a server or a workstation from the obtained scan data.

Criteria

Server Identification works on some criterias. Servers are differentiated from the workstations using these criterias.

Criterias are as follows,

Servers are identified if the OS name from the scanned data has the following values:

• Windows (R) Server
• Windows Server
• VMware
• Solaris

Servers are identified if the Service tag from the scanned data has the following values:

• VMware

Note: If the devices are manually changed to a particular asset type(Workstation) then the server identification logic won't apply to such devices.
