Find a computer in Enterprise Console

You can search for a computer or computers in Enterprise Console by:

Computer name
Computer description
IP address

To find a computer, do either of the following:
- Press CTRL+F.
- On the Edit menu, click Find a Computer.
- Click anywhere in the computer list, right-click, and then click Find a Computer.

In the Find dialog box, enter your search criteria.

The Find what field is not case sensitive. Trailing wildcards are implicit.

You can use the wildcards * and ?

For example:

Search criteria	Search results
UKlapt	Finds any string beginning with “uklapt”, for example, UKlaptop-011, UKlaptop-155, uklaptop132.
Ukla*	Finds any string beginning with “ukla”. The wildcard is not needed as it is there implicitly; search returns the same results as in the previous example, UKlaptop-011, UKlaptop-155, uklaptop132.
*ukla	Finds any string containing “ukla”, for example, UKlaptop-011, 055uklax, 056-Dukla-sales.
