The Device Manager allows you to view and manage the hardware devices installed on a machine. It is very similar to the native Windows Device Manager but it is used to manage remote machines.
To access this feature, double click on the Device Manager icon below a machine or right-click on a machine and select Device Manager.
Using the Goverlan Device Manager you will be able to:
View the currently installed devices including their status.
Export devices information into a text file.
Disable / Enable a device.
Uninstall a device.
Scan for hardware changes.
The Device Manager allows you to view the devices either in a list view or a tree view (default). To switch from one view to the other, use the selection box located at the top right corner of the main view. The advantage of the flat list view is that you can sort or group by any column you desire by clicking on its header allowing for greater flexibility than the tree view format.
To export the view contents into a text file, click on the Report Information link in the Task Panel.
To view the properties of a particular device, select it and view its properties in the Task Panel.
To include hidden devices, click Show hidden devices. Hidden devices include non-Plug and Play devices.
To manage a device, select it and:
To enable or disable it, click on the respective link in the Task Panel.
To un-install the hardware device, click on the Uninstall link in the Task Panel.
To scan for hardware changes (which detects newly inserted plug and play devices), select the root category to scan and click on Scan for Hardware Change.
Note: If you select the root tree item (the computer object), all categories will be scanned for hardware changes.
