AssetExplorer, comprehensive IT asset management (ITAM) software, is replacing its existing asset discovery agent with a unified agent courtesy of Endpoint Central, the unified endpoint management solution from ManageEngine. The unified agent helps IT administrators harness Endpoint Central's mature agent-based asset discovery capabilities in AssetExplorer.
Discover Windows, Linux, and macOS machines by performing agent-based scans. Maintain uniformity of data fetched across these workstations.
Take control of IT assets for remote troubleshooting operations. (Available as part of the UEM Remote Access Plus add-on.)
Monitor processes, services, software, users, etc. on your organization's remote computers. (Available as part of the UEM Remote Access Plus add-on.)
Schedule and broadcast announcements to all users within a network. Collaborate with technicians and remotely assist end users over text, voice, and video chat. (Available as part of the UEM Remote Access Plus add-on.)
Along with these capabilities, the unified agent also helps IT administrators manage their IT assets with automated warranty updates, Wake-on-LAN, and much more.*

As the unified agent is tightly coupled with the Endpoint Central server, Endpoint Central itself needs to be downloaded and installed in the AssetExplorer folder. You need to initiate the download and ManageEngine will perform a silent installation in the background.
Endpoint Central will be installed as a trial edition initially and will be upgraded to the free edition after 30 days.
If you are an existing customer using Endpoint Central and have integrated it with AssetExplorer, you may need to upgrade your Endpoint Central installation to the latest build (10.1.2121.2) to utilize the unified agent. Learn more
