Anyone else seen this. We use a service account for LANDesk and that account on our core has begun amassing 20GB+ of data in it's temporary internet folder every day.
I have to reboot the server into safe mode to kill all the stuff in there because it's being used by another task.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to easily convert the date format in LDMS (Version 9 SP3) inventory data from USA date to UK date ie from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.
I do quite a few reports by creating custom queries in LDMS and Exporting as CSV, and Excel (in UK installation) doesn't like some of the dates in the exported CSV but does like others. IE excel doesn't like 03/19/2012 as it think its the 3rd day of the 19th month, but it does like 12/01/2012 which it thinks is 12th of Jan but its really 1st or Dec.
From what i can see in the inventory all dates are stored as USA date format, so im guessing maybe there is a simple setting somewhere to change the date to a more Excel firendly UK format?
Hi,
I have lot of error scan files under core\ldmain\ldscan\errorscan.
Do I need worry about that??
What is causing this issue??
How can I fix this issue??
Thanks in advance..

Is there any way to find out what mapped network drives a computer has? Using LDMS9 SP3. Thanks for any information.
Hi everybody,
I'll make my title a bit more clear :
I would like landesk inventory to scan about 30 .sys files on all my computers ?
Is it possible to add them one by one in a certain section of the ldappl3 file ?
Can i only enable the .sys extension and so i will see all the sys file --> which i don't want
For example i would like landesk to scan the c:\windows\system32\win32k.sys files and i would like to see it in the inventory, how can i do this ??
Thank's a lot
I have a problem with my Core server. The inventory updates do not work as only the device name and ID show in the network view. When running an inventory on a device, no software, hardware or user data is shown.
The following error in the Application Event Viewer on the core says:
LDIScn32.exe Command line syntax error Event Id: 39
The problem started after the server was powered on after it had been shut down (intentionally) for three weeks, together with all other servers and pc's.
I'm running LDMS 8.7 and I have recently installed SP5 to try to solve the issue, but to no avail.
Any thoughts what might be wrong?
Cheers

I'm trying to create a custom script to add a registry entry to the RunOnce key. The problem I'm having is the amount of quotes I require in order for it to run properly. No matter what combination of quotes I use, whether it be <qt/> or ", I don't get the end result I need, which is an entry in the RunOnce key that looks like this: "C:\Program Files\LANDesk\LDClient\miniscan.exe" "/send= Custom Data - Lock Status = Unknown".
Here's the script:
[MACHINES]
REMEXEC0=C:\Windows\System32\reg.exe add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v MiniScan /t REG_SZ /d <qt/>C:\Program Files\LANDesk\LDClient\miniscan.exe<qt/> "/send= Custom Data - Lock Status = Unknown", SYNC
In Windows XP there is the HKLM\Software\Intel\Landesk\Inventory\Custom Fields\ key to drop in custom data.
How does this work in Windows 7? There is not an Inventory\Custom Fields on 7. (At least it is not created by default).
Ok so I have a wierd little problem with LDMS 9.0SP2. A number of client machines are failing to report back to the inventory server correctly. Machines are powered on and running Security scans fine, but the inventory doesn't update. For example, it is showing machine with Last Startup Time of over 3 months ago. I know these machines have been restarted multiple times since then, but I can not get them to refresh their inventory. I have forced inventory scans, updated agents, but nothing seems to work. There is also a couple hundred machines that have little or no inventory data. Why is this happening and how can I fix this?
Having machines that dont report their inventory correctly makes LDMS pretty useless, so your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Scenario:
I have a client in the Inventory called "Test" with device id "...8B48".
Now I reinstall this client (Windows, Agent, ...) and call it "Test" again. The new devid id is "...7438".
Then I run an inventory scan with /F /sync /O=C:\Scan.dat
1. Inventory scan:
- Client sends inventory with device id "...7438"
- The existing record in the inventory is updated (Last Hardware Scan Date)
- The device id in the inventory is still "...8B48"
- The device id registry key on the client shows "...7438"
2. Inventory scan:
- Client sends inventory with device id "...8B48"
- The existing record in the inventory is updated (Last Hardware Scan Date)
- The device id in the inventory is still "...8B48"
- The device id registry key on the client shows "...7438"
What I would expect is, that the client gets the old device id and stores it in the registry (or the existing inventory is updated with the new device id).
That the existing record is updated is what I want, but if the device id's are not synchronised between core an client, I am not able to deploy software etc.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Hello,
We recently upgraded our LANDesk core servers from 9.0 SP4 to 9.5 SP2. The client agents themselves are still mainly running 9.0 SP4 at the moment. When upgrading the client agent to 9.5 SP2 the parameter "LDAP Location" directly off of the Computer tree is blank. The old 9.0 SP4 agents are still reporting this accurately. "Computer Location" is accurate in both agents.
This wouldn't be much of a big deal but our entire scoping is built off of the "LDAP Location" parameter.
Has anybody seen this or know how to fix it?

As I look through my Console I keep seeing computers (small percentage) that have certain things missing for instance the model number, or windows version, provisioned column blank, etc and everything else is there.
When I look in inventory these items are missing from there.
1. In troubleshooting I deleted the test computer from the console then ran a full inventory scan, didn't help
2. went into \program files\landesk\ldclient\data and deleted the LDAPPL3.ini file and ran a full inventory scan, didn't help.
3. Did a remoteregistry and deleted the Landesk unique ID in both places, then ran a full scan, didn't help
Also all these computers have the same os (win 7 32bit), same model, as computers that are fine.
Any suggestions?
I don't think this is possible since logging in does not trigger a mini scan but is there a way to see a list of everyone that has ever logged into a machine?
Hello,
We recently configured a management gateway appliance and the remote control features work well. My understanding is that once an agent is configured to use the Gateway that client devices outside of our network will report inventory information back to the Gateway then to the core, which I can view in the console. I've had a computer online but off the corporate network for 2 weeks with and we haven't received any updated inventory information.
If my understanding is correct how often should the external devices be checking into the Gateway with inventory?
Where can I find the setting that controls the frequency of external agents reporting back to the Gateway?
Can anyone point me in the direction of things I should check to fix this?
Thank you,
Jonathan
Here is our setup:
(1) LDMS 9.0 SP2 core server
(1) LDMS 9.0 SP3 core server
(3) LDMS 9.5 SP1 core servers w/ LDDA 9.53.0241
(4) LDMS 9.5 SP2 core servers w/ LDDA 9.53.0241
(1) 9.5 SP2 rollup core server w/ LDDA 9.53.0241
We are not able to get any custom data from the 9.5 SPx core servers to rollup. The 9.0 core servers are rolling up custom data fine.
I am working on trying to ensure my LANDesk database stays in sync with my Active Directory computer objects. Currently our process for retiring machines requires the technicians to delete the Active Directory computer object, and then go into LANDesk and remove the associated computer object.
I know that you can set the server to automatically delete objects after x days, but due to our installation being very new and our management gateway not being completely configured, we don't want to delete LANDesk computer objects that might still be active machines, but just don't connect to our VPN consistently enough to do an inventory scan.
Is possible that when we delete the active directory object, that a maintenance task simply scans Active Directory to retrieve the current list of computers, then compares it to the inventories in the database and deletes machines that don't have an Active Directory computer object? I am guessing that a script would work for this task, but if it is possible without having to script something, that would be even better.
We are using 9.5 SP0 and am i n Reporting/Monitoring - Manage Software List, I have just created a new Custom Data - Registry Item and need to make the Agents now report on this new item. I'm on the Core and hit the toolbar button to "Make available to clients" but see no confirmation that this addition as been made. Is there a way for me to know it's been added without having to check the LdAppl3.ini file each time?
Thanks!

Hello
I have some problems with custom registry data on LDMS 9.5 and Windows 7 64bits clients : data are not insered into database.
Clients ldappl3.ini are up to date and "Unknow items" is configured to allow my custom data, following http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-7457
Inventory is launched using "C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\LDClient\LDIScn32.EXE" /NTT=LDMSSRV:5007 /S=LDMSSRV /I=\\LDMSSRV\ldlogon\ldappl3.ldz /NOUI"
Even Internet Explorer version registry is not working, after applying http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-27801
I have also tried to clean database using DBRepair (06022011)
If you have an idea, I'm your man

Has anyone come up with a solution for getting the Windows Scheduled Tasks in Inventory? I am pretty sure it could be done with the combination of ldscnhlp.ini, schtasks.exe, and some script to generate a data file in the format LANDesk understands. Before I tackle this, I thought it would be good to check if anyone has already done it.
