Netskope Client creates Unique Device Identifier at the time of enrollment. Prior to the version 105.0.0, the Unique Device ID was created based on the hostname and few other parameters. As the hostname is no longer maintained unique in the organizations, with 105.0.0, Netskope Client is enhanced to use the hardware parameters such as Windows GUID for creating Unique Device ID.
Previously, whenever there were devices with the same hostname, it shared the same Unique Device ID. From version 105.0.0, different Unique Device IDs are assigned to each device and no two devices share the same ID. With the new Unique Device ID, whenever the administrator tries to query based on the Client Data, the value for nsdeviceuid.
Note
This feature will be enabled in a phased manner by Netskope that would take a couple of months. No action required by the user for this roll-out.
Manage Client
The admin can control the user access to enable or disable the Client. The admin can select one of the following options:
Enable Traffic Steering - The admin enables Client for the selected device and restricts the user from disabling the Client.
Disable Traffic Steering - The admin disables Client for the selected device and restricts the user from enabling the Client.
Export Device Information
To export the contents in the Device UI to a CSV file, select the hostnames and click Export. The details displayed in the exported file depends on the options that you choose on the Export webUI. When there are multiple users added to a device and you choose Unique Devices in the Type field on the Export webUI, the CSV will only display the total number of users added to that device. To view each username added to a device, choose the option Devices and Users in the Type field.
