Good idea. Thanks, Sherry. Although I don’t think our environment is 
particularly underpowered.  :/

Software (aka file) inventory every 7 days (or just plain... off) is OK.  
Hardware inventory every 7 days... personally that is a bit "too" long for most 
companies to like how dated the information is.  Hinv is where you get things 
like "what's in add/remove programs".  You *might* want to consider bumping up 
Hinv to "every 6 days" (for a week), then "every 5 days" (for a week), and 
monitor in between each time frame that you increase the frequency, until you 
get back to daily... or until you find "omg, every 3 days is the limit we can 
handle, then our environment is just so underpowered that things start to fall 
apart".

But daily hinv I think most environments can handle just fine.

In case anyone is interested, Microsoft resolved the issue. Apparently, since 
we had our HW & SW inventory set to run daily, the server wasn’t properly 
running the dbo.CH_SyncClientSummary stored procedure. We manually ran it and 
inventory data is showing correctly in the console now. We also changed our 
inventory schedules to run every 7 days, which they say should resolve this 
issue going forward.

Subject: [mssms] Before I open a support ticket with MS...

Quick background – our NTP time server went down for a short while a couple of 
months ago. As a result, we had wonky timestamps in CM. Some had the year 2034. 
We worked with MS and they were able to clear this up.

Now we have a new issue, and they want us to open a separate case to address it 
(even though I believe it’s a direct result of the work they already 
performed). Our hardware and software inventory in the console only goes up to 
6/30/2015 (the day they worked on our server). I can see newer inventory when I 
open resource explorer on machines, but it’s not showing in the console. Policy 
requests are showing current dates.

Any ideas of things to try before I spend any more money with MS?
