VMware vCenter OS Windows!?

Hello,
why is one of my VMware vCenters categorized als OS Windows!?
That vCenter is a linux appliance.

I agree with KV's scanning tip.... but... I know there's been some bugs with vcenter/esx scanning in past versions - what version of LS are you on?

Same here. I saw 12.3.5 just became available.

The current version 12.3.2.3. On-Prem.

To be honest I'm not sure, I saw the same on one of our vCenter appliances that is the backup / failover shows the same for the OS field.

 

Scanning Tip

I found vCenter scanning worked best for our environment by creating an asset type scan of VMware vCenter server that runs every 4 hours. That allowed us to keep the ESXi Server assets up to date as they would fail an SSH scan if you follow best practices with disabling SSH on ESXi hosts.

Thank you.
