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.
