Query: Software Installed, exluding "trash"
LANDesk Management Suite v9.0.3.1
Hello, I am pretty new to LANDesk and I am kind of stuck. I created a query to show me software installed on machines (software inventory) in a location, but I want to exlude some items that I just dont care about. My query is put together like this:
"Computer"."Computer Location" LIKE "my location"
AND ("Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Programs"."Name" NOT LIKE "Update for"
OR "Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Programs"."Name" NOT LIKE "Security Update"
OR "Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Programs"."Name" NOT LIKE "Flash Player"
...
the list goes on
...
)
The problem that I am having is that it will run and still give me results containing "Update for", "Security Update", "Flash Player", and so on. I found the following KB and if I am reading this correctly, then LANDesk is behing as expected. http://kb.landesk.com/support/thread/17154. They list a SQL query as a solution, but I am not quite sure how use that in LANDesk and probably don't have access to that part of it.
Is what I am trying to do possible? Any advise woulbe be appreciated!

3 VM's think they are the same machine in LANDesk
We have 3 VM's that think they are the same system in LANDesk. We have checked the MAC address and they all seem to be separate ID's. We even tried deleting the NIC on one of the servers and then reinstalled the agent but still when i tun the inventory scan on one of the systems the other will disappear. So once a day each machine will be in LANDesk until one of the others run a scan.

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!

Model in Inventory Is Blank in Several Computers
I'm running 9.5 Sp3
I've noticed in several of my computers in the Inventory the model is missing under the System sub-menu. Also there are other items there that are missing but I don't use them. This messes me up when I do queries on model number.
I ran a full inventory scan to a text file and the information was not there either.
I've looked in the computers registry under HKLM\hardware and the model is listed there but Landesk doesn't show where it gets this information from to determine the cause.

Custom data fields? I need to to add a few and get close to 100% coverage
I need some advice on how to add a couple of custom data fields. I need to add custom fields from a previous database, and I need to add my own custom "Function" field. I only have the Management Suite 9.6 sp 0. No other addons like the Inventory or Analytics.
Custom Fields from Previous Database
I've been given from a previous inventory system a list of computer names, serial numbers, and custom fields. I can match it all up using serial number as a key, but I need to add the custom data fields. These are department and cost center. The list is for about 6,000 computers, most of which were manually collected. Because of the effort involved in collecting the data, I need to get these into the database, even if they aren't used much.
Custom "Function" field
I also found with my last large deployment that I need to classify computers based on it's function. A custom "Function" field. It's a hospital, so some computers are in the OR and others run a TV screen of advertisements. They have different deployment requirements then a secretary or patient room computer. Actually the rule list became quite complicated. That's fine, but all I had to categorize them is OU, subnet, name, model, and installed software. With no ability to use another query in a query, or a temporary table, my queries became very complicated and slow. A "function" field would help a lot if it gets close to 100% coverage.
I've got the custom field in the registry, and have inventory collecting it. It works nice, but I won't get full coverage with it. For example, I might not be allowed to write to a registry on some computers (ie Vendor owned that runs lab or surgery equipment). I've tried deploying a .bat file, but didn't get 100% success, and I'm starting to think 100% of any deployment is unrealistic.
I've played around with thecustom forms. That looks good. It could help with future collection of department, cost center, computer function fields. It could get some more coverage of the custom data if I have compliance from field support.
I've seen how I can manually add a field in the Inventory window for a specific computer. But wow that'd be slow. We have 12,000 objects in our inventory. Even if half are old, It'd take forever to do it that way. Having to even do 100 would be a cause for beer at lunch, I mean at 5.
I've access to the Database and the thought of sql insert/update queries has crossed my mind. But the database is big and would take some time to figure out. I have a lot of other work to do so holding that off as a last resort.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'd rather do this within the Console because I'm trying to avoid making this too difficult for someone else to step in and do. But if this has to be done using some programming or outside manipulation of the database then its something I definitely consider since both are very important. I'm functional in c#, powershell, and sql. I have a database admin who should be a sql master and a couple guys who know a bit of VB who could potentially help. Also I might be looking at it wrong, so if there is another process that can accomplish the division of computers besides the custom field that could work too.
Thanks

Get Windows Scheduled Tasks in Inventory
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.

Scheduled LDIScn32.exe not silent
Hi all
When the scheduled LANDesk Scan runs on some machines, a DOS box pops-up on screen (screenshot attached). I have compared the LocalSch.log of an affected machine with a non-affected machine but there is no difference, both execute the following command:-
C:\Program Files\LANDesk\LDClient\LDIScn32.EXE /NTT=LDSLAN01:5007 /S=LDSLAN01 /I=HTTP://LDSLAN01/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz/NOUI
Without having to wait for the next scheduled scan to begin, I can replicate it but running this command manually.
How can we make these machines execute a SILENT scheduled scan please?
Thanks

Inventory scan taking 30+minutes with RODC
We have a few remote sites with RODC (read only domain controllers). The problem seems to be where the inventory scan uses LDAPWHOAMI.EXE to interrogate the domain for user information to include in the inventory. LDPAWHOAMI normally takes a few seconds to run depending on the size of the domain but runs for at least 30 minutes whilst trying to communicate with a RODC before timing out and finding another domain controller to return the information requested. If it was just the inventory scan this would not be such a problem but the knock-on effect when provisioning machines or installing software with a scan after is significant.
Is there any fix or workaround for this?
Is there a switch to skip the LDAP part of the inventory scan?

Inventory Errorscan on extremely long line item
Hello,
I am having an issue with the inventory scan on some of my machines. The scans all end up in the Errorscan folder. I have narrowed it down to one item these scans all have in common. That one line appears to be about 1543 characters long and reads as:
OS - Drivers and Services - Service - (Name:Energy Server Service WILLAMETTE) - Path ="C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\esrv_svc.exe" "--AUTO_START" "--start" "--address" "127.0.0.1" "--port" "49330" "--depend_on_key" "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESRV_SVC_WILLAMETTE" "--depend_on_value" "run" "--time_in_ms" "--pause" "5000" "--library" "C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\intel_modeler.dll" "--no_pl" "--watchdog" "10" "--watchdog_cpu_usage_limit" "50" "--end_on_error" "--kernel_priority_boost" "--shutdown_priority_boost" "--device_options" " time=no output=w output_folder='C:\ProgramData\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\IntelData' limit_output_by=time output_limit=3600000 output_buffer=1024 il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\intel_process_input.dll','process_input_options.txt' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\intel_system_power_state_input.dll' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\intel_quality_and_reliability_input.dll' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\acpi_battery_input.dll' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\sema_thermal_input.dll' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\wifi_input.dll' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\devices_use_input.dll','service=yes' il='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\intel_disktrace_input.dll','pause=60000 working_dir=C:\ProgramData\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\IntelData override_existing_tracing=no limit_output_by_filesize_mb=10' os='C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\WILLAMETTE\ESRV\os_counters.txt' "
I noticed that every line item in that section of the SCN file starts off with "OS -" This scanned item starts off the same way, but it is so long that it continues onto the next line. My SCN file looks something like this...
OS - Drivers and Servic...
OS - Drivers and Servic...
ESRV\acpi_battery_inpu...
OS - Drivers and Servic...
OS - Drivers and Servic...
As a test, I removed the long entry including the part that continues to the next line. Saved it, moved it back to to the ldscan folder, and watched it successfully import the inventory.
I believe the inventory scan is getting this entry from the machine's registry. Is there a way to have it ignore a specific registry key from inventory scans just like you can have it ignore specific folders on local drives?
I am running 9.6 SP1. Errorscan file attached. Long entry can be found at line 3564
Thank you in advance for any help.

Query for Internet Explorer 9
Hello,
Not sure if I am missing something but when I create a query for Internet Explorer 9 I can't find an entry. Also when I create one for IE8 I only get XP computers with IR installed. I suspect this is because for 8, it's a core part of the Win 7 OS?
Any advice is appreciated.

Query for different versions of Internet Explorer
I've read the past threads on this, what few there were, but was unable to locate an answer that worked.
When I attempt to query for IE versions, Utilizing the Custom Data, or the Product/Name functions, I get a jumbled response. It brings back pretty much everything in the computer software inventory.
I need to be able to differiniate between IE 7 and IE 8 but can not get it to run correctly and bring back what i am asking it for. I can get it to bring back 8 only. but not 7 and 8 nor, more perfably, everything but 8.
After establishing the quert to bring back the above, I would tack on it further statements that will bring it back for a particular subnet as well. I've managed to do this for other programs, such as Lotus and Adobe, but IE isnt' performing the same... I must assume this is because it's imbedded into the OS correct?
Thanks for any help you can provide scripting the correct logic for this function.

How to force an inventory scan on PC's which have been off for many weeks?
Here is my dilemma. I have 5000 PC’s, which for the most part have been off for roughly 70 days. Now that they are being turned back on, the IP addresses of the PC’s are not matching what’s in LANDesk. Therefore, packages fail when being pushed out (a different agent responded). To make this situation a bit crazier and because of login slowness, the inventory scan was removed from startup. So, the only way to run an inventory scan is manually or if I am thinking correctly by re-pushing the client to all computers.
My question is. Is there a way to simple force a scan on all computers, regardless if their IP address matches? Perhaps using agent discovery?
Thanks

Inventory scanner unable to connect to the core
75% of the machines for my firm are in remote,field offices. These computers are non-domain workstations. When installing the agent on a few of these branch computers, the installation goes through normally, however the machines do not show up on the core. Someon mentioned to me that the inventory scanner possibly did not run on the machines. when I go to run the inventory scanner, i get the attached error "LDSCN32: The inventory server ... did not respond"
I suspect that during the agent configuration, I would need to change the core server name to the Gateway's public address. will that work the way I expect it? the wayward cliend will in an inventory scan and reach out to the gateway appliance. the gateway appliance forwards the connection on to the core?

Fixed Hard Drive Serial Number is incorrect
To whom it may concerns,
There is a fixed hard drive serial number incorrect situation. We found several customer machines which installed LDMS 9.5 SP3 got this problem. Please see the image file serialnumber2.png, This pic was captured this machine inventory tree, and the hard drive serial number is incorrect. But if see the image file named serialnumber1.png. This pic was captured from the machine powershell command line. and it did returned the correct hard drive serial number. I have checked the workaround solution from https://community.landesk.com/support/docs/32711. But I hope this problem can be fixed future.

IE Version in Inventory does not work with Query functions
LDMS 9.6 SP2 / CP_BASE_0722
Having a query issue:
The built-in IE Version in the inventory(Browser - Internet Explorer - Version) is having issues with results when I run a query against it. I created a query to list all systems with IE version < 9.10.9200.16521. the query returns blank. I tried < 9.10 and < 9. Each time the query is blank. If I set the query to EXIST then it list all systems.
so I created a new registry key for the inventory to gather,
Root Key: HKLM
Key: Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Value: Version
Attribute Name: Browser - Internet Explorer - Version2
When the inventories come in the Version collected(Browser - Internet Explorer - Version2) is not the version LANDESK is showing in their inventory attribute(Browser - Internet Explorer - Version) .
When I point the query to my collected value (Browser - Internet Explorer - Version2) the query works exactly as planned. So there seems to be a normalizing of the data collected that LANDESK is performing that my custom registry collection is not doing. Also it seems that the normalizing of the data is writing the value as a string rather than integer which would effect queries based on <,>,>=, <= functions.
Not sure if this is by design or a bug.
Anyone else run into this?
