Faronics Core User Guide
Core Console displays reports created by Product Loadins. If no Loadins are installed, no
reports can be generated.
To check for updates, click on the Core Console node. The Connect to www.faronics.com and
check for news and updates must be selected in the
dialog for a check to succeed. If this box is not selected, clicking on the Core Console node only
displays the current version installed and does not connect to www.faronics.com to check for a
newer version.
It is possible to use groups of workstations that already have been defined on a directory server.
Once the Core Agent has been installed on workstations discovered through LDAP, those
workstations can be managed directly through the LDAP groups node. These workstations can
also be added to custom groups.
Workstations can be added to a custom group by standard Windows clipboard functionality. Cut,
copy, or paste (along with drag-and-drop) a workstation into a group. To create a group,
right-click on the Custom Workstation Groups icon and select Create Subgroup. You can also add
or edit Dynamic Filters and perform Group Actions.
The Workstation List and Tasks are stored on the Core Server, whereas the
Reports are stored locally on the computer where Core Console is installed.
The commands and features available in the right side of Core Console are also available via a
right-click on one or more workstations.
The actions available are based on the privileges of the connected user.
The Core Console specific tasks are as follows:
• Group Actions - Select this option to apply Group Actions to a group of workstations. You can
select Shutdown, Restart, Wake up or product-specific actions. The product-specific actions
