Whats a pending host?

[CoxM]

Hi All,
I have seen pending MACs on your system before which as I understand is when devices such as laptops have two NICs and it wants to assign the additional NIC MAC to a host.

We now seem to have a Pending Host, whats this please?

Thanks.

A pending host is a host with the FOG Client installed that is not registered in your FOG Server.
That FOG Client is calling home to your FOG Server and is added as a pending host - because it is unknown and therefore untrusted until you (the admin) claim it. Claiming is basically saying ‘Yes, that’s one of ours, trust it’
