Is there a way to get the virtual vm hosts to show up in the equipment browser along with the physical server host for export?

Hello Marilyn.

Virtual machines (guests) are not treated as unique assets in DCO so they do not appear as line items in the equipment browser. They are in the "discovered devices" view in the desktop client.

They can also be visible in the equipment browser if you enable the "virtual machines and templates" column.

In this case when enabled you can search in the equipment browser to find /see them. The details in this row are for the host on which the virtual machine exists.

Regards

So I tried to run discovered devices, then run the equipment browser with "Virtual machines and templates" checked.  I get nothing in that equipment browser field even though I get devices in the discovered devices view.

I am guessing I am doing something wrong or out of sequence or something isn't running correctly as that field will not populate.

Any suggestions?
