Get Dell DockStation Details
Summary
This knowledge article is build to derive the Dell Dock Stations report of all Dell machines. It helps to show the list of dock stations connected to the Dell machines.
Requirements
The Knowledge Base articles need the NinjaOne Documentation app enabled in NinjaOne, as shown below. If your NinjaOne does not have it, set Report Output to Local CSV Files in the report automation. The report then creates only the CSV files, on the device that runs it.
Where to Find the Report
| Report | Knowledge Base Article | CSV File |
|---|---|---|
| Global | Global Knowledge Base > Dataviews > Dell Dockstation > Get Dell DockStation Details | C:\ProgramData\_Automation\Report\Dell Dockstation\Get Dell DockStation Details.csv |
| Organization | Organization Knowledge Base > Dataviews > Dell Dockstation > Get Dell DockStation Details | C:\ProgramData\_Automation\Report\Dell Dockstation\Get Dell DockStation Details_<Organization>.csv |
The articles and CSV files are replaced every time the report runs. CSV files are saved on the device that runs the report automation. An article that grows too large is split into - Part 1, - Part 2 and so on.
