Network discovery

Description

Network discovery is the tool that, given communication networks and configured access accounts, is able to identify the machines in each network and retrieve information about user accounts. Also, Network discovery can detect system accounts. For each network is mandatory to define the accounts and password of potential administrators to connect.

You can find more infomration about the networks on the Networks page.

The operating system of machines can be Windows or Linux and it is not neccesary to install any adtional software on those machines. 

Once the machines and accounts, both user and system, have been discovered, the critical accounts must be located in the password vault. You can visit the Password vault page for more information.
