Software - Open DNS - Global Agent Audit

Summary

The Global Dataview shows every Windows machine in the environment and indicates if the machine has the Umbrella_RC service installed, implying that OpenDNS is active on that device.

Many MSPs set up OpenDNS on the LAN, so all workstations connected via Ethernet (desktops) may not need the actual agent installed on the device because the network is handling the DNS filtering. The goal behind having this data is to remove agents where unnecessary or to identify machines that might need the Umbrella agent, ensuring that if those machines leave the network, they will still be protected. This should overall help with licensing and determining how many licenses to provide for each client.
