Devices – Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM)


The Devices page in MSPControl displays a complete list of all workstations and servers that have the MSPControl Autopilot agent installed. This suite of features supports comprehensive device monitoring, remote actions, and proactive management, ensuring your IT environment is secure, compliant, and fully optimized for performance.

Once the Autopilot agent is successfully installed on a Windows machine, the device will automatically appear in this list under the Devices section of the left menu (Organizations > Devices > Devices).

Device Table Overview

The main Devices page displays a table of all Autopilot-managed Windows machines. Each row typically includes:

  • UserName / Name
    The user account associated with the device (e.g., “George Khoury”) plus a device name (e.g., “OTFX06”). Clicking the user name filters for all that customer’s devices; clicking the device name opens its details.
  • Friendly Name
    A custom label (e.g., “stockbuild,” “AWSConnect”) for quick identification.

    The Windows user currently logged in (or last known user).

Best Practices

  • Keep the Autopilot agent updated across all machines to ensure accurate data and remote functionality.

  • Schedule weekly downloads of the “Missing Updates” report to stay ahead of vulnerabilities.
  • Use the “Set Template” and “Set Location” functions to maintain organized environments and reporting clarity.
