Client Management Suite

Since laptops are generally not jacked into the network very often, I was curious what happens with my software inventory policy runs.  In other words, I have a full s/w inventory scheduled at the beginning of each month and a delta during the week.  Say if a laptop isn't on during these timeframes, does some type of remediation occur that perhaps runs inventory out-of-cycle; depending upon how long a client has been offline?

Hi Clint,

the inventory policies will also be triggered by the Agent when it is offline. The results will then be queued to send them out when the Agent is able to reach it's SMP Server again.

The Inventory Data which has been send before, will stay in database until something new is delivered by the Agent (ok - you could go ahead and delete the computer ;-) ). Even if you change the Clients status from active to anything else, you will have to have the Inventory Clean Up Task running for that Asset status to wipe out the data (and free the Inventory license).
