  • The customer can also add in criteria to find devices which have not checked in within a certain timeframe by modifying the search above to vdiBaseDevice:* AND isBaseDevice:true AND last_contact_time:<{EpochTimestamp}
  • If this search alone ->  vdiBaseDevice:*    does not return the problem clone, it will not be auto-deregistered and the cloning proceess should be investigated.
