Script to set asset status needed

Hello,
I am looking for a script which will allow me to change a "retired" computer to "active" remotely. The script should take the computer name as a parameter.
I am using NS 6.0 Sp3 and Asset managemetn Solution 6.5.
I am not looking into doing it manually from the Altiris Console.
Thank you,
Peter
Normally an Inventory update
Normally an Inventory update from a workstation would change that status to Active.
If you're going to need to update it without an inventory update you've got a couple of options. The easiest that springs to mind immediately is a simple connector with a CSV file.
Are you looking to do, just one computer or multiple computers at a time?

assetManagement.SetAssetStatus
I am looking to do one computer at a time. I am looking to do it within a script from the Deployment Server, as part of the re-imaging of a retired computer. I do not want to delete the retired computer.
I have looked at the Administrator SDK 1.4 asset.vbs:
' SetAssetStatus
'---------------------------------------
wscript.Echo "SetAssetStatus"
success = assetManagement.SetAssetStatus( clonedObject.Guid, names(0) )
wscript.Echo "Method complete"
wscript.Echo "Success: " & success
So, I am looking for something simialr to the above. However, I am not sure how to use the script above.
The above script seems to use the computer Guid as a parameter, while I want to use the computer name.
Thanks!
Try this script
'--------------------------------------
itemName="computername"
' Setup management objects
'---------------------------------------
set assetManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDKAsset.AssetManagement")
assetManagement.TargetServer = "ns-server"
assetManagement.Authenticate()
set itemManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDK.NS.ItemManagement")
itemManagement.TargetServer = "ns-server"
itemManagement.Authenticate()
computerGuid = ""
itemsList = itemManagement.GetItemsByName(itemName)
'Asuming theres only one item called computername
if ubound(itemsList)=0 then computerGuid = itemsList(0).Guid
if computerGuid <> "" then
wscript.Echo "Found computer: " & computerGuid
else
wscript.Echo "Could not find a computer. Ending script."
wscript.Quit
end if
'---------------------------------------
' SetAssetStatus
'---------------------------------------
wscript.Echo "SetAssetStatus"
success = assetManagement.SetAssetStatus( computerGuid , "Active" )
wscript.Echo "Method complete"
wscript.Echo "Success: " & success
Hi, Im trying to get this to
Hi, Im trying to get this to work as well... basicly look up the asset and set it to in stock.. im doing this in workflow however the ASDK webservices are not there.
having looked at the script above and the forum entry at https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/set-status-asset-using-workflow I found that my NS 6.5 server with ADSK 1.4 installed doesnt have the following
Surely these things should have been installed with the ASDK, having looked in IIS I cannot find any of the links within the picture about.
can you point me in the right dirrection??
Thanks
