Overview
Scout Board is a modern and intuitive management solution for eLux® end points. The web-based interface allows you convenient secure access to your Scout infrastructure.
You continue to use your existing SQL Server database for Scout. Your entire device infrastructure with device configuration, defined applications and access rights structure can now be used via the new Scout Board interface.
Note:
Scout Board supports Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Express, but not SQL LocalDB.
As part of the Scout Enterprise Management Suite® installation, the Scout Board is published for the first time with the software release of Scout 15 2209.
