Before you can collect warranty information with Endpoint Insights, you'll need configure some settings in the Recast Management Server interface.
Once configuration is done, you can manually kick off a warranty scan by clicking Warranty > Start EI Warranty Scan, or you can wait for it to automatically run overnight.
Add an Active Directory User or User Group
To add an AD user or user group:
1. In your Recast Management Server, navigate to Administration > Permissions.
2. In the main window, click Add User or Add Group.
3. In the window that opens, search for your AD name or AD user group and click the Add button.
NOTE: You can include a wildcard (*) to facilitate your search.
Wildcard examples:- John Connor returns strings that match exactly
- John C* returns strings beginning with 'John C', such as 'John Connor', 'John Connors', and 'John Cranston'
- *Connor returns strings ending with 'Connor', such as 'John Connor' and 'Carol O'Connor'
- *Support* returns strings that include 'Support' plus whatever is on the left and right, such as 'Customer Support Team' and 'Enterprise Support Group'
Assign User a Role
A user must be assigned at least one role.
To assign a user an administrator's role:
1. On the Permissions page, click the Edit icon to the right of the user.
2. Under Role Assignments, select Administrators.
3. To limit the user's permissions to a set of devices, enable Limit this user to specific objects and select a Service Connection.
4. If desired, set a specific Refresh Interval for repopulating scopes. A longer interval uses fewer resources but also detects new users and devices less frequently.
5. Click Save.
Add a Proxy Route
Routes determine which Recast Proxy runs a Recast action.
A service account route sends an action to a service account if:
- The route is assigned a role that has permissions to run the action
- The targets of that action fall within the route’s assigned scope
For more information, see Route Types.
Prerequisites:
- Install a Recast Proxy that can read from Active Directory or Configuration Manager
- Grant the service account used with Recast Proxy the minimum required permissions:
- Local admin on the server where it is being installed
- Read-only analyst in the Configuration Manager console
- db_datareader in Configuration Manager database
- Read permissions in Active Directory
To create a service account route:
1. In your Recast Management Server, navigate to Administration > Routes.
2. In the main window, click Create.
3. Set route Type to Service Account.
4. As Recast Proxy, select your service account.
5. Set Role to Administrators.
6. Click Create.
