  • 1.  Inventory Solution 7 Policy

    Posted Apr 20, 2010 04:20 PM
    I am currently testing/learning NS 7.0 SP2 and seem to run into a brick wall with assigning policies to a group of computers. I cloned the default collect full inventory (Policies/Discovery and Inventory/Inventory) and attempted to assign it to group/target (not sure what to call it) called Windows Computers with Inventory Plug-in. However all that is returned after I add the group/target is the list of computers and when I go to a computer in the list and force the agent to check in it does not pull down the policy and it does not show up in the list for scheduled tasks and packages as it use to for the NS 6.x agent. I am not sure if the policy is saving the group/target that I selected, is there a way to display the group/target that was selected to verify that it is still being referenced?

    You can change the view in the policy to "view computers and users" see the list of computers or you can just double click on the orginal view "applied by" to see your filter.

    The policies themselves no longer show up in the software delivery field, they are executed as tasks. Since it is a policy, and an internal one, there isn't a report that I know of that shows all policies assigned to computers.

    I'm testing NS7 as well and I was pounding on my keyboard for a good hour trying to make that work.

    Turns out for some reason or another, they do it differently in 7.  On the agent, click on the Task Status tab and click Task history.  Inventory tasks show up there instead.
