With the Network Tab selected, you are provided with a range of general information, machine name and platform for example, about the workstations located on the selected Network/Domain.

The Log Files Tab provides a breakdown of past deployments categorized by type.

The Security Tab also lists information specific to each individual workstation located on the chosen Network/Domain. In addition to the machine name, you will be able to identify the IP Address, determine if the machine already has an HP Classroom Manager Client installed and which version is running, whether the Client is password protected or has User Acknowledgement set. With this information to hand you can decide in advance which machines to include or exclude from the forthcoming deployment. For example, if a current HP Classroom Manager Client is already installed at some of the workstations you might choose to ignore it.
