Ghost Solution Suite

Hello,

We're using GSS 3.2 and we would like to know some things:

- How to define when Symantec DAgent collect and send inventory information to server

- If is it possible to collect custom information (executing an script, reading the registry, etc.)

Our idea is to create some dashboard (probably querying eXpress DB) with useful information about our desktop environments.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no way that I know of to define customer information that you would like to collect from the client. Fortunately enough, Ghost collects a lot of information for you, right clicking on a computer and selecting properties will show you all the current information.

You would need to manually access the database and create your own sql queries with an interface for the information that you require.

Just to add onto Brycen's comments. The table structure is quite navigable. Most tables are joined on computer_id.

For our purposes, we have used the SMP to visualize reports in a grid view and SSRS / ITA to beautify other reports.

Thanks for the answer.

Is it possible to change the schedule of inventory done by agents?

(i.e. to change when a full inventory is sent).

Thanks.

The inventory collected by the Altiris Deployment Agent?

Have you checked the Altiris Deployment Server control panel applet? Options \ General \ Update inventory on active computers

Done. Configured the scheduling in this applet.

Thanks.

PS: Is it possible to "trigger" an inventory from the client side? (the idea is that when something is modified in the client, it notifies the server about these changes instead of waiting to the schedule).
