HP Client Manager 7.0: How to Obtain Inventory

Once the HP Client Manager Agent has been rolled out to all machines, one of the first client side management tasks to execute is to obtain HP Client Inventory.

In order to run the HP Client Inventory task, execute the follownig steps:

1. From the Symantec Management Console, click on Home > HP Client Manager.   This should open the HPCM Portal Page
2. Under the Management Tasks web part, expand 'Inventory' and click on 'HP Client Inventory'
3. By default, the HP Client Inventory Task runs at 2:00 AM every Friday of every week against the target called 'All HP Computers with HP Client Manager Agent Installed'.  So, you really don't have to manually run this since it is already pre-defined for you.  However, if you do wish to run the task manually, simply click on 'Quick Run' and enter the name of the computer on which you wish to run.  If you wish to run the task on all computers, simply right mouse click on 'Instance of Inventory Task' and select 'Start Now'.

The following video illustrates the steps above being performed on a client along with the detailed inventory reports.
