Hello SM Admins,
One of our most common wishes for SM is quite simple: include the OS build number in our device inventory report. On macOS in particular, this is very useful as there can be multiple different OS build values for each OS version.
For iOS and Windows the OS build usually matches with exactly one OS version (there are occasionally rare exceptions). However, knowing the OS build information can be time-saver as security alerts sometimes reference the build number – e.g. “10240” on Windows -- rather than the OS version. By providing this extra data we make life easier for admins who need to search on the OS build field as they try and identify potentially vulnerable systems.
As of today, this information is now provided on the detail page of each device and as an optional field that one can add to SM’s Devices list view. Note that Android devices do not have a corresponding value for OS build so none is displayed.
Keep the wishes coming. We can't answer them all, but we do value the feedback and enjoy improving the product knowing that we can always make it easier to use.
