Boot Environment Audit

Summary

This view provides a centralized, single-pane-of-glass dashboard for monitoring the boot environment and security posture of all your Windows endpoints. By aggregating the data collected during the Boot Environment Audit, this view allows technicians to quickly identify systems that are missing critical OEM driver updates, lack proper Secure Boot configurations, or need BIOS firmware upgrades to support modern security standards (like the CA 2023 certificates). It also highlights endpoints with active network boot (PXE) configurations, alternative operating systems (Dual-Boot), or disabled recovery environments, making it simple to spot misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across your entire managed fleet.

Note: Views are user-specific and cannot be shared. Each user must create their own view.
