Can Windows machines be monitored with NCM?

Trying to monitor Windows 10 workstations for firmware vulnerabilities like NCM does with network devices. Can I use NCM to monitor Windows workstations?

Thanks!

P.S.: other alternatives I've thought about is maybe with SAM and UnDP, or if possible to leverage Kiwi + SEM to get that info and display it on the Web Console. Any alternatives you may think of have used for this purpose would be welcome.

No, NCM is for network devices only. You could use this www.solarwinds.com/patch-manager

Monitoring Windows 10 workstations for firmware vulnerabilities akin to NCM's network device monitoring isn't directly feasible. NCM focuses on network devices. However, you can explore alternatives like SAM and UnDP for specific aspects. Kiwi + SEM might provide insights, but integrating firmware vulnerability info into the Web Console may require custom solutions. While alternatives exist, they may not mirror NCM's exact functionality for Windows workstations. It's prudent to assess each option's suitability and seek custom solutions if needed.

I have actually been able to get a Windows PC on NCM now by enabling and configuring SNMP, and installing OpenSSH available now on latest Win10 releases. Having said that, not sure where to go from there in order to retrieve similar info it natively pulls out of Cisco devices.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
