....and we've had so many years without vendor spam in the list I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

I wouldn’t imagine that if you staggered the inventory cycle randomly, that you would take a huge hit on the network. In the case where you may be scheduling inventory uploads, a product like Adaptiva OneSite would allow you to load level inventory uploads. With its Client Data Upload Bandwidth Management feature, you can configure a policy to only allow X amount of machines to upload Hardware, Software, File Collection, Metering, Status Messages or Delta Discovery data at a time. This is useful when ConfigMgr clients are connecting to remote Management Point over slow WAN links. I am curious to know how your solution works.

The solution I typically see given is to force a full hardware inventory on the client rather than relying on the delta inventory. Would it be a bad idea to set a DCM rule to check the LastMinorReportVersion value in WMI and if it’s greater than a threshold value trigger a full inventory? I know full inventory creates more network traffic, but doing a full inventory every 2 or 3 months doesn’t seem like it should be that big of a strain. I imagine this would be a nice automated way to keep things from getting out of sync. I haven’t even started looking in to the scripting that would be required but in my head it seems pretty straightforward. Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has done similar, or maybe has a better way to make this happen. -Matt ________________________________ This message is intended for the sole use of the addressee, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
