jnelson993 -> RE: How to change inventory time on one pc? (7/1/2008 10:32:21 PM)

Garth is right. Reinstalling isn't doing anything different than kicking it off manually. Besides, the client won't STAY on that schedule either if you've got it set to a simple schedule. If they leave the machine off for 3 days and turn it on 10:00am on Monday, the schedule is now roughly 10:00 am, but even then it will drift again. So send the client a script or something that kicks off inventory at the time you want already! :)
And yeah, with 3000 clients you can have them all return inventory at the same time without any problem. We have 7500 or more machines reporting inventory back every hour with no problems. And the hardware we have now is like 5-6 years old (yeah, new stuff's on the way).

(Options for that sActionName in the script:)

On Error Resume Next
sActionName="Hardware Inventory Collection Cycle"
' Create a CPAppletMgr instance
Dim oCPAppletMgr
Set oCPAppletMgr = CreateObject("CPApplet.CPAppletMgr")
' Get the available ClientActions
Dim oClientActions
Set oClientActions = oCPAppletMgr.GetClientActions()
' Loop through the available client actions
Dim oClientAction
For Each oClientAction In oClientActions
' Is this the action we want to start?
If oClientAction.Name = sActionName Then
' Start the action
oClientAction.PerformAction
End If
Next
