Users Guide

The Service Tags or Node IDs are displayed in the Auto Deployment tab until the devices are discovered and inventoried in
OpenManage Essentials. The Deploy Conguration to Undiscovered Devices task runs periodically and veries if the devices are
discovered and inventoried in OpenManage Essentials.
NOTE: The Deploy Conguration to Undiscovered Devices runs based on the frequency congured in Settings →
Deployment Settings.
After the discovery and inventory of the devices is completed and a deploy task is created, the devices are moved to the Repurpose
and Bare Metal Devices group. You can double-click the tasks in Task Execution History to view the task execution details. If you
do not want to deploy any other device conguration on the devices, you can remove the devices from the Repurpose and Bare
Metal Devices group.
NOTE: Devices in the Auto Deployment tab are moved to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group, even if the auto
deployment task fails. If you want to deploy the conguration template on those devices, you must create a new
deployment task.
