  • 1.  7.1 Inventory Solution Problem

    Posted Jul 19, 2011 09:30 AM

    Hi eveyone,

    I was wondering if anyone had encountered this problem if so does a solutino exist ( i have serached for this but got nothing back).

    I have just installed my new 7.1 Client Management Suite/SMP/Asset Management and have recently had the relevant training. However, when i have come to check the Manage > Jobs and Tasks > Inventory Solution it is not there!

    I just see Samples and System Jobs and Tasks.

    I have checked and all licences are in place, i have repaired Inventory Solution but still nothing shows. Please can some one offer any advice?

    Go to Manage->Policies and then find Discovery and Inventory.  I'm assuming you're looking for the Inventory policies?  In 7.1 the client tasks that are used underneath the covers are not visible under Manage->Jobs and Tasks.

    If you want to manually create "Gather Inventory" task or some other inventory task:
    1. On the Manage menu, click Jobs and Tasks.
    2. In the left pane, navigate to the folder where you want to create an inventory task, right-click the folder, and then click New > Task.
    For example, to create an inventory task in the Jobs and Tasks folder, right-click Jobs and Tasks, and then click New > Task.
    3. In the Create New Task dialog box, in the left pane, under Discovery and Inventory, click Gather Inventory.
    4. In the right pane, specify the task's details.
    5. (Optional) Click Advanced to configure the data classes, task run options, or the software inventory rules.
    6. Click OK to save the task.
    7. On the task page, schedule the task.
