How can i query users by what their first name starts with?

I'm setting up my patch process.  I have a static group of machines for my initial patch testing.  I'd like to set up a 20% Pilot group, but don't want to be dealing with keeping it up to date, nor do i want my IT team to have to refer to a list to see if a user is part of the pilot group or not.

 

I want to select 20% by creating a query that returns all users with a first name that starts with a letter between A and J.  This will give me 20% of our environment that is pretty much random.  It's also easy for the IT team to remember that if a person's first name is between A and J then they are piloting patches.

 

How can i do this?

What is the most efficient way to do this?

Are there built-in ways to do it or is this a custom endevor?

Hase anyone done this and willing to share the methods and code?

LDISCN32.exe

Hi

 

Apologies for what might be a very simple question...

 

I am having issues with a number of devices not updating in the inventory. I have tried running a manual run of of LDISCN32.exe with the switches /F /L /V (i a have also tried various other swithces) but i can see no evidence of a log file or error report? also I can see no evidence of the scan file being passed back to the server. I am sure I'm just not looking in the right plave for error logging?

 

On a seperate note these devices do not apply policy, when process runs it identifies a policy is required but does not execute its application. See attached image.

Currently, I know how to, and actively use LDAP security groups to query and deploy software.

I'd like to be able to display, and inventory against the email address of the primary owner.

 

I have been playing in the Directory Manager, but can't seem to make that give the info.

LDAPPL3.ini doesn't seem to include LDAP info.

 

Has anyone done this before?

LDAPWHOAMI.EXE -- Bug in LANDesk 9.0 SP3 service???

April 12, 2013, 10:20 am

We had a curious thing occur -- I will explain as best I can. Gradually, over the course of a few weeks, many but not all of our workstations (with users logged in) started hammering the hell out of the Domain Controllers in our environment. This resulted over time in bringing a number of them down and increasing congestion over the network. Turns out that ldapwhoami.exe was the culprit and it was repeatedly attempting, hundreds a second, to try to reach an AD OU. The process was running at 40% on the workstation. When the OU was created, apparently authenticated users did not have read or write permissions and it was felt that those rights were not necessary. Once they started dumping users into the OU and those users would log in, ldapwhoami.exe would try to update the inventory but it would fail at that OU and retry continuously (indefinitely). When we gave read permissions to the OU all of our problems went away.

 

Question is...Is this a bug or would this be attributed to normal behaviour? You would think that after a few failed attempts that ldapwhoami.exe would stop trying until the next inventory scan at least and not run continous on the machine.

Hi,

 

i'm trying to make a WMI query at the "inventory" - "user defined data". With WMI Explorer i got the following values:

Name Space: Root\CIMV2

Class: Win32_PnPEntity

Instance: KPCI-488 GPIB Interface

Caption: KPCI-488 GPIB Interface

 

In Landesk i have:

Name Space

Class Name

Display Object

Property Name

Display Name

 

Does anyone know where i have to insert the individual "WMI values" in the "Landesk Property box"? "Name Space" and "Class" is evident, but the remaining...

 

Many thanks for your help.

Device not showing discovery status

May 15, 2014, 7:21 am

Hoping someone can help me figure this one out.  I have a device, my PC, that I have lost 'connectivity' to from within the console.  The inventory and security scans are processing whenever they're run but when the discovery is done to see if it's connected or not, it flashes the blue "?" mark and then never returns the status. 

 

I've tried removing the agent completely and re-isntalling several times.  I've turned the firewall off to see if something happened there.  Update the NIC drivers.  Made sure the "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" is in the "Users" group and that the our Scheduler account is in the Administrators group...just in case.  I've deleted the device from Inventory and ran full scans and made sure everything populated.  I can ping the PC from the core and other PCs.

 

Any thoughts?  What am I missing?  Nothing has changed...at least that I'm aware of. 

 

Thanks,

Scott

Report only what shows in "Programs and Features" on a workstation?

April 22, 2015, 6:54 am

We have LANDesk 9.6SP1.

 

One of the things that is very helpful for our technicians is to print a report for a workstation that lists only the installed products as shown in the Programs and Features on the workstation.  (In other words, if you sit down at a workstation and then open Control Panel - Programs and Features, you see the list of "installed programs".)  This is one of the more helpful reports for our techs when they need to re-setup a crashed computer and they know what programs to reinstall for that use.

 

In the LANDesk console, I figured the way to do this was to create a column set since in there you can find the "Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Program"."Name" item.  I mean, that seems to be the one that makes sense to accomplish this.

 

However, the resulting information is displaying significantly more items than the list of installed programs as shown in the Programs and Features on the workstation.

 

For example, when I display the "Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Program"."Name" items for my device in the LANDesk Console, it returns 142 items!  And within this list, I have 17 items that begin with the words "Microsoft Office...".  However, if I sit at my computer and open the list of installed programs under the Programs and Features, the list is only 52 items long, and I have only a single item for Microsoft Office in the list.

 

How can we only display the "actual" list of installed programs as shown under the Programs and Features on each workstation?

 

I keep thinking I'm missing something obvious, but as of yet, it escapes me how to do this simple task so I have to swallow my pride and ask for help.

LoginName on Windows 7 64-bit

Is anyone else having problems with the Inventory Scanner incorrectly reporting LoginName on 64-bit Windows 7?  I think I figured out why this is happening, but when I checked this forum to see if anyone else reported the problem I can't find any posts.

 

It seems the Inventory Scanner is reporting the contents of

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultUserName

which isn't used by Windows 7/64.

 

I found some postings on the Internet which suggest using this regkey instead:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\LastLoggedOnUser

 

I've opened a support case, but I'm still looking for confirmation that I'm right, so that this is treated as a bug.

Need Help Creating Query to Find Computers Without Updated Program

Hi everyone,

 

I'm fresh to operating LANdesk and myself and others in our staff are really racking our brains about how to resolve this. So, being a total n00b, I'll try to explain this as best possible. And please be simple in response! (Anyone have a LANdesk for dummies?)

 

I'm trying to create a query to find computers that do not have a specific version of a program installed. I figured the simple answer is to just use "not exist" and the title/version of the program I'm looking for.But that doesn't seem to work like that. I can't effectively do a search of all previous versions, because the program can run the new version with or without the old version. We need to find what PC's do not have the program installed so we can make sure to get the program pushed out or get to it by foot.

 

Thanks!

Run inventory scanner automatically after software package installation.

In reference to running the inventory scanner automatically after software package installation, does that only apply when LANDesk does the installation or does it run automatically after any software is installed. Like through add/remove program? One last question, is there any way to run a software scan when package is removed?

Entering info manually about an asset

Our PC Support group has started issuing out hardware encrypted drives to certain users. They are requesting the ability to go into LANDesk, look up an asset, and enter in a field a password hint to be told to the user in case they forget their password.

 

Is this something that can be done with LDMS or is this moving more towards asset manager (or ALM when it's released)?

Default Network Printer

Hi there,

 

since Landesk 8.7 we miss our network printers in the inventory. Every network printer on the client is mapped through an UNC path like \\serverdc01\printer001.

In the past we could see the default printer and all the network printers. But now in 8.8 and former in 8.7 we could not see the printers.

 

The printers came to the inventory by Landesk. We had no registry key or soemthing else for the printers. What we modified in the ldappl3.ini are only a few registry settings to get more data.

 

Has anyone an idea?

 

Regards

Dear all,

 

I have an Static Device Group its called "Server Patch Exceptions" in this Group i insert manually Server from my Network to exclude it from a Patchmanagemant.

Now i have the Problem i have a Dynamic Scope Obejct with an Query this Query search all Server and Devices with Agentname "xy" and will be insert at my List.

 

How can i modify the Querie to say search all Devices based on Agentname "xy" included the Exclude the static Group.

 

To Example

Server 1 has Agent Name "xy"

Server 2 has Agent Name "xy"

Server 3 has Agent Name "xy" but its in the Static group "Server Patch Exceptions"

 

Scope Should be listet --> Server 1 and Server 2

 

The Backround is when i Create an Patch-Task i Instert the Scope in to the Target and all Device will be Patched but the Server in  "Server Patch Exceptions" should be skipped

 

 

thank you all

Thomas
