Policy validation is not the easiest or most enjoyable part of anyone’s job. Once you’ve formed and enacted a policy, it’s important to make sure that every computer is and stays compliant. However, networks can be unwieldy and people make changes without alerting IT constantly. Take the example of Windows updates. Let’s say you’ve set up a central server from which all Windows computers should update. How do you find the ones that don’t?
Let’s say you’ve just set up Senrio on your network, and you want to find all the non-compliant Windows computers. Senrio automatically applies the tag “Windows Update” every time a computer reaches out to the main Windows update server. This means you can simply search for the “Windows Update” tag in the explore view to discover all computers still using the external update server.

You can export this list and, once a computer’s settings have been updated, you can remove the tag. To save time in the future, rather than search, you can request that Senrio alert you every time a “Windows Update” tag is applied.
Senrio gives you visibility into your network, making policy validation so easy that you forget it’s constantly happening.
