Does the autoAsset discovery process need/use Probes?
No it does not. The autoAsset discovery operates at Enterprise level. A single Host PC is used to interrogate Agents on the network. If the Host PC is configured as a trusted user the discovery process will continue beyond firewalls. The Codima Toolbox contains Probes, but they are used specifically to monitor the network traffic and are part of the Remote Management facility. Note: The Probes have no involvement in the autoAsset discovery operations, if Codima Probes are installed on a network, the autoAsset discovery process will list the Probes in its inventory report.
