ZCM Inventory Scan of a NetWare 6.5 Server

I was able to install the ZCM Adaptive Agent for NetWare servers on all of my NetWare servers, and I can see these servers in Devices/Servers after performing a discovery.
How can I run an inventory scan for these NetWare servers so I can get more detailed information about these servers?
Thank You,
Ray Barry

probably better posted in the ZCM inventory forum...
but.. if you go to configuration of your zone and than device management (I
think) you will find inventory only schedules

ZCM Agent Inventory Scan - Patterns for Software Recognition

Hey Everyone,
Is is possible to find out which patterns the Inventory Scan uses to determine the installed Software products? (are there any local files on the agent-side with information what to look for?)
For some reason the Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus Installations wont be found any longer and I so far I cant figure out why this is happening (actually a few Office 2003 Products are shown, even on freshly installed Win7 Devices which have never seen any office Installation besides 2010)
Perhabs this might be related to the Office 2003 Compatibility Pack. This one was installed accidentally and I removed it via an uninstall bundle. Seemed to work fine, but ever since then Office 2010 wont be found within the inventory.
To test this behaviour I installed a clean win7 + Office 2010 + ZCM Agent. In this case Office 2010 is found.

Win98 not getting inventory scan

Our XP systems are getting the inventory scan and importing it into
the
database, but our Win98 systems are not.
Recently I deleted all the workstation objects, then ran a sync to the
database to clear it out. I then ran unreg32 at each workstation and
let
them reimport themselves and rerun the inventory scan.
The XP systems worked fine. The win98 systems imported into the NDS
with
the minimal workstation info. But none of the info got into the
database. When you look in nds and ask for more workstation info,
almost
everything comes up with "NO INFORMATION FOUND".
It looked like it was just scanning for delta info, so yesterday I
went
into ConsoleOne and checked start full scan for every win98
workstation.
Now when I look at the java interpereter on the console, Win98 systems
aren't showing up as getting scanned at all.
If I look at the Scan status, I get the following messages:
Scanner(Warning) : 027: Unable to read the sequence number from the
Workstation Object.
Scanner(Information) : 024: Initiated scan successfully.
Scanner(Information) : 009: Software Scan done using Microsoft
Installer
(MSI).
Before I asked for the full workstation scan, I would also get this
message, but I don't get it anymore.
Storer(Information) : 200: The Storer has updated the database.
Thanks,
Pam

For zen 3.0 you really are at the newest client you can be, or maybe
even too new.
I would try this next, although I don't know if it will fix it.
1. Make Sure the "Enable Software Scan" box is checked.
2. Create a new Workstation Package and reconfigure the inventory
policies.
3. Restart the server, unless you have already done that.
Let me know if that helps.

Inventory scan slows the workstation down

Hi,
we use zfd 4 since more than 3 years. (server 5.1SP8 with ZFD 4IR7)
The inventory runs fine before we have begun to install all the Windows
XP patches.
We tried many netware client and zfd client versions. But the
ntscan32.exe needs now more than 10 minutes to scan our workstations
(new hardware DELL Latitude D-Series). During this time you cannot work
with this workstations, even it is a full or differential scan.
We play a little with the inventory policies, but nothing helps. Policy
is configured to run on system start with software and hardware scan.
Any ideas?
Chris

no, but we found the problem:
We have about 48 application objects with XP patches and every
application has its own dependencies. It seems that the checking of
these dependencies simultaneously to the inventory scan causes the slow
downs. After we have deleted the associations to the workstation
objects everything looks like before.
Now we think the NAL has some problems to work with complex
dependencies.
Thank you for your help

Memory error on inventory scan

I've noticed that a few of our servers get this message in the console
after the daily inventory scan runs. Is this normal? Or does the cache
memory allocator need to be increased? if so how? Thanks

Workstation inventory scanning

hi
I am not able to perform workstations inventory scan in consoleone. But if
i run ZfdInvscanner.exe from c:\program files\novell\inventory, it worked.
When I right click the workstation object in consoleone, under properties,
Zenworks inventory, workstation scan configuration, I click on "Start Full
Scan", and It doesn't work for me. Can you please tell me what goes wrong
and how to make it work ... Thanks

In article <[email protected]>, [email protected] says...
> performing that action through ConsoleOne tells the inventory service

Check with wmsched.exe, you can force a run via that if you wish.

Lexmark Marknet unable to connect to Netware 5.1 server with IPX

Hi,
Im having some problems with Lexmark Marknet print servers. We are using
Netware 5.1 servers with ipx print queues. The print servers are MarkNet
X2000 series and MarkNet Pro3 Series from Lexmark. The print servers are
being serviced by a Netware 5.1 server. (server a) I use the MarkVision
Printer Utility to setup the printer server.
We are having a migration project from Windows NT workstations to Windows
XP workstations. We have made new print queues for the XP environment. We
also want to use an other server (server b) for servicing the print
servers. I have made al the new queues on the volume on the new server
(server b). When I use the markvision to add the new server (server b) to
the existing print server it doesnt connect. Could there be a problem in
de IPX environment ?

Any reason why you dont want to use NDPS with IP? Most print servers like
lexmark will work with IP/LPR printing all you need to do is find out
what the name is for the port. Some use raw others use printer etc..
The print queues can easily be attached to the ndps printers within the
NWADMIN (workstation client MUST have ndps installed prior to assigning
queue).

NetWare 6.5 Server Consolidation

Good morning,
My customer is attempting to perform a NetWare 6.5 server consolidation, in the end they are wanting to move data from the NetWare server and then decommission that server. They are trying to move the DATA volume to a Cluster Resource
The Source server itself had a number of issues, especially relating to certificates, and also some DNS records were not completed for the Target Resource. One set of errors came to light

Thank you,
Just providing an update to this issue. It was reported to me this morning that a restart was performed on both the Source NetWare server and the Target Location. Since that restart took place the MIGGUI process was started again, and this time it would appear that the first pass is progressing through. Will monitor the situation and report further status messages.

Replace Downed Netware 6.5 Server

I have a Netware 6.5 server that has seen it's last day. I have a full backup copy of 2 volumes DATA and HOME. I have a brand new server I want to insert into it's place as Netware 6.5 SP8, same name, and IP address. I have not installed Netware on the new server as of yet.
What is the proper procedure for doing this?
I would appreciate assistance.
Thanks

Hi,
The problem is that there are a LOT of proceedures, repending on your setup.... There is a lot we need to know. Is this server hosting the master replicas of any of the eDir partitions in yout tree? Or acting as a time server for your eDirectory tree? If so, special measure must be taken to make eDirectory happy prior to doing anyting.
Is the server dead and completely non-revivable? Its a LOT easier to replace the server treating it as a migration, or using a hardware swap procedure in which place you can gracefully prepare for the hardware swap so that you don't disrupt the references to the server within your eDirectory tree.
If its the ONLY server in your eDirectiry tree, then you have lost eDirectory - and so may as well do a fresh install.
So before you attempt this, please share with us the details of your environment, how eDirectory is partitioned and replicated, etc... picking the wrong process can make a real mess.

XP Inventory Scan Crashes (NTScan32)

Recently, we have replaced some of our PC's with new ones that are
running
XP Pro. They run very nicely with Novell client 4.83 (SP2) however,
when
the Zenworks inventory scanner tries to run, the user gets a message explaining that the program has suffered an error and will close ('Do
you
want to send a bug report to Microsoft?' - you know the on I mean). It
seems XP doesn't like NTSCAN32. This is happening on all our XP
desktops
and laptops (Which are all Compaq machines)
Anyone got any ideas where to start looking?
Details:
Netware 5.1 SP5
NDS 8.82
Zen for Desktops 3 (SP2)
Client 4.83 SP2
Thanks in advance,
Richard Sleight

Thanks for the reply. I think I've found the cause.
Yes, this is only happening on our new Windows XP machines. It is XP
that
is at fault, not Zenworks!!!
XP is preinstalled on the Compaq machines but does not include SP1a
for
XP. When the inventroy scanner was trying to run, XP was reporting to
Zenworks that it was an NT system and hence was trying to scan with
NTSCAN32. Manually running WinScan.exe worked fine. After doing some digging, I installed SP1a for XP and now when invertory scan tries to
run,
XP reports it is indeed running as XP and so doesn't try to scan via NTSCAN32. Now all is well.
Thanks again for your help.

How to export ZCM inventory database?

We're in the middle of implementing a new Service Desk Tool.
I'd like - no, I need - to have workstation inventory data present in that tool.
What's the best way to get to that information?
How can I export data?
Thanks
Kind regards
Roland

Do you want it to be an export or actually attached to the ZCM database?
We are in the process of trying to do the same with SupportWorks and linking it to the system.

Inventory Scans Slow down Workstation

I'm running ZfD 3.2 and have the inventory policy set to to scan machines
once a day at 'Below Normal' priority. When inventory runs, workstations
bog-down, not due to the inventory scanner process, but because the
workstation's virus scan sofware scans the files as they are opened by
the scanner. The workstation virus scnan software is McAffee VSE 7.1.
Has anyone found a way to disable virus scanning while inventory is
running and re-enable it when the scan is finished? There isn't any
option on the inventory scheduler to run a pre or post execution script.
Thanks.
Pete

No, not that I am aware of. What happens if you choose a higher
priority ? Does it change anything ?

ZCM Inventory and Non-Standard Ports

Greetings all:
I have a client who has ZCM installed on a Windows server. During the install they decided to not use port 80 and 443 (due to another app on the box) and instead use 90 and 1443. After we applied ZCM 10.1, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 the server showed issues with imaging. Research showed the issue to be trying to use port 1443 instead of 443. When we tried to change any config file to reflect 1443 the file would be changed back to 443. They decided to use 443 for SSL communications but still needed to use port 90 for other communications.
Recently they realized that devices were not inventorying. They do not have the full agent installed on their workstations, only the inventory-only agent. It appears that any new workstations with a new install of the agent inventory, but updates do not occur. We enabled logging on a test machine. Please see the relevant part of the log below.
Changing the umia xml file to reflect port 80 on the workstation seems to correct the issue and we can upload new data.
What happened during our upgrade to change the ports we use to communicate with this server and what files can we edit to get back to the original ports we defined?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ZCM Inventory lost

Hello everbody,
I have a Problem with the Inventory Management in ZCM 10.3. (possible maybe only an understanding Problem...)
I Installed the ZCM in our testing Lab. In this scenario i have 1 ZCM Server, 2 Server and 4 Workstations with several Software Products on the Maschines.
After installing the ZCM Server i deploy the Adaptive Agent on 1 Server and 3 Workstations. After the Discovery Run i have 49 Software Products in my Inventory.
Next Day i installed the AdminStudio 9.5 on a client and an Instance of SQL Express 2008 on the ZCM server to deploy packages via ZCM. After a reboot of the ZCM the Inventorylist of the ZCM ist empty and the 49 Software Products are lost?
When i deploy the Agent to a new Client, the Asset Management count the Softwareinstallations and display it to the Server, but the 49 lost Entries are away.
Where are the Software Entries?
Is it possible that the Installation of the SQL Express 2008 (i installed it only for the Bundle Catalog) kicks the Inventory data?
I See the Software in the Inventory Report, but i have no chance to configure the Software-Use in the Asset Management.
