Zenworks inventory scanning

Can Zenworks Inventory information be stored to a MYSQL database?

Hi Dave,
Hey, I'm new to all this CIM schema stuff and just want to let you know
that I can totally relate to your reply!!!!
Thanks for the great chuckle!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • Zenworks Inventory Scope only shows "servers"

    When I go into ConsoleOne v1.3.6h, Tools, Zenworks Inventory, Reporting... the scope says "servers." I can't choose workstations. When I try to do a quick report, it also has "servers" chosen by default. Workstation and Both are greyed-out.
    I can go into individual workstation and look at their inventory.

  • 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.
    (ZCM 10.3.1, PRU August 2011, Client OS: Win7 Enterprise 32 Bit)

  • 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,

    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

  • 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

  • Analyse zenworks inventory reports

    Hello,
    We want to use the zenworks inventory to check whick user is installing
    "illegal software" on his pc.
    This by running a software inventory report and comparing the results of
    this inventory.
    This software inventory report give us a very large listing of exe files and
    versions, for example querying all software of Microsoft Incorporated gives
    us 33 pages of different programs.It is nearly inpossible to interpret this
    listings.
    Is there a way to bundle this information of are there programs who can do
    it ?

  • 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 ?

  • Inventory scanning is successful, but performance gathering is not.

    I am running the MAP tool in my environment. I am able to successfully connect to all of my Windows servers and see the WMI information about their processors, memory, OS version, IP address, etc. When I run a 30 minute performance gathering test on them,
    only 12 of the 28 or so servers I'm scanning are reporting information. The rest of the servers aren't even appearing in the list of clients in the "CollectionStatistics" tab of the results spreadsheet.
    The 16 failing servers are successful in reporting their inventories, though, so I know WMI is enabled and the credentials I provided are correct.
    Troubleshooting procedures I've done:
    - pinged the server by name and IP successfully
    - Opened computer management (compmgmt.msc) and used the "connect to remote computer" option.  While connected I verified that Remote Registry is started and running.
    - Successfully established Telnet connections to the servers failing to report performance metrics on port 445 and 139.
    - used wbemtest to successfully establish a connection to the remote servers. I was able to run the query "select * from win32_useraccount" and observe results returned.
    At this stage I'm not sure what other tests to perform for troubleshooting. Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any advice as to how I can get these non reporting servers to start dumping performance data?

    The performance data collector requires remote registry to be enabled. See this TechNet Wiki article for more information:
