Automatically Delete old Computers
So I have been wondering for a while now why I have so many old devices showing up in my inventory. According to this doc (http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-1188) The "Days to keep inventory scans" is supposed to take care of this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have mine set to 30 days, but I have machines showing up in inventory with Last Hardware Scan Date of over 6 months ago. Why is this not working or how do I get it to work? Thanks.

remove network share from scan
We are on Ivanti Endpoint Management 2017.1. What I am trying to find out and understand is why when a Full Sync scan is initiated on the desktops, the agents from the PCs are communicating\reaching out to a network share where any of our primary software is installed from. Our company uses powershell scripts that when ran go to a network share to install the media from. The problem is that when we initiate a Full Sync scan on several machines we get notified immediately by our Network dept indicating that the install share is getting a lot of network traffic. This causes bandwidth issues with some of our satellite sites where bandwith is limited. The Server and Network folks all see traffic from the agents on the PCs talking to the network share. They initially assumed we were doing a massive distribution install but in all our cases we are not. Only Full Sync scan were initiated.
I would like to know what Agent setting or config defines this and to also find out if there is a way to exclude the network install share from being communicated during a Full Sync scan? If the network install share is somehow excluded what are the repercussions if any? I am hoping to find a global setting that can prevent this.
I took a copy of one of the .scn files from ldscan and opened it up in Notepad and I see lines and lines of unc path entries of all the software that is installed on that machine, from the network install share.

Any hints what's causing this (before opening a call) error which is popping up in the Core Server's Event Application log? Inventory seems to be populating, but this is showing up regularly.

How to query proxy setting in HKCU
All,
We are testing a new proxy and are trying query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings for a string value - AutoConfigURL. We have defined a custom data definition in the manage software list for the correct HKCU key and string. We have verified that it works on some machines where the inventory was ran with the user logged on.
From what I can find on other posts, querying HKCU is next to impossible for a reliable query response. I have tried some of the sample scripts that copy HKCU keys to HKLM (Printer.vbs) and adapted for our purposes, but it will only work when the logged in user is a local admin. We have very few people with local admin rights.
I have seen a few posts suggesting you might have to use strasuser.exe but no examples or feedback indicating it worked.
Has anyone successfully queried HKCU? If so, can you post a sample script/process?
We are running a newly re-built 9.6 sp1 core with over 2000 machines which are almost exclusively Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise.

LDISCN32.exe command switches
Is there a document explaining the command line switches for LDISCN32.exe? I can do a "/?" but it doesn't explain what "/O /T /Q" do.

Can I create just Custom Data Form fields at the inventory without asking user to input the answer?
Dear All,
Can I create just Custom Data Form fields at the inventory without asking user to input the answer?
What I would like to do is just to create those additional attribute at the inventory of the machine and have the LDMS admin input it instead of asking the users to do so. It is because I would like to store purchasing information which is not avilable to the end users. And at the same time, those purchasing information cannot be detected from the machines itself too.
Thanks and regards,
Winnie

All devices suddenly missing
Hi there,
We have a landesk device inventory of about 500 machines. As of yesterday the device list is now bare. When adding a bare metal machine to the list it immediately disappears when applying it.
My immediate though was perhaps the database became corrupt, but I am unsure.
Has anyone had a similar issue occur or know of what might cause something like this?
Thanks!

LookupAccountName failed '1332'
Preface: I'm new to landesk so take it easy on me but please let me know if there are easier ways to do what I'm trying to do
I have multiple cores in my environment and I recently tried to migrate a couple hundred servers from one core to another by pushing a new Server Agent Configuration. The majority seem to have worked but there are several that have not reported their inventory scans to the new core.
After connecting to one of the failed machines I tried to run this to get a full scan uploaded to the core:
LDISCN32.EXE" /NTT=core.domain:5007 /RSS /F /S= /I=core.domain HTTP://core.domain/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz /V /sync
In the ldiscn32.log file I see the following error:
LookupAccountName failed '1332'
The scan does end up going to the new core but ends up under the ldscan\ErrorScan directory.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

Event ID: 4100 - Invalid pointer T
This is happening for a couple of the test machine's inventory parse on my test core server.
Event ID: 4100
Database exception: 4FB350~1.SCN, LDInv.dll
-2147467261
Invalid pointer
Update Table:Computer Column:SWLASTSCANDATE PK:,
What gives?
I've tried the stop inventory service - dbrepair - coredbutil - start inventory service, but this persists.
Examining the table (dbo.Computer SWLastScanDate column shows it is not a PK. Is it supposed to be?

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

MSSQL Query to get Asset Information
Hi,
I am trying to figure out a way to write a SQL query to the Landesk database to provide all the information found in the dbo.Computer table along with the OS.
Does anyone have a snippit of SQL that I can run to get this information? The idea is for me to create a web front-end for other departments in IT to query asset inventory information from a custom web application. I just don't know where the OS info is stored. I would imagine there will be some joins to other tables.
Any help would be appreciated.

Query Operator "Like" does not work like in SQL (wildcard %)
Hi
I'm using LANDesk 9.6 SP1 for 3 month now and I realize that the queries are "interpreted" like this:
"Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Program"."Name" Like "programX"
-equals in SQL
"Computer"."Software"."Add or Remove Programs"."Program"."Name" Like "%programX%"
BUT I often want to look for a software called "programX*"
so in SQL I would use
...Like "programX%"
Searching the community gives me this...
HOW TO: Hacking LANDesk Queries
Is it really true that the LANDesk "query builder" should be "simple to use LIKE statements"?
That means, it always uses "%searchstring%" with the LIKE operator, making it impossible to use "searchstring%" or "%searchstring"?
It's hard to believe. C'mon, it's LANDesk! One of the BIGGEST players in software distribution?
Is there a way I'm not aware of? As I said, I'm a LANDesk beginner ;-)
Thanks

How quickly should LDAP changes show up in LDMS query?
We prefer to deploy software based on AD security groups. Ideally, we put a machine into a security group, then within a few hours LDMS installs the software associated with that group. But I can't figure out exactly what mechanism tells a client, and thus the core server, what security groups a system is in, or when that mechanism runs. I put a machine in a security group, did a hardware inventory, a hardware-and-software inventory, a Full Sync inventory, ran gpupdate /force on the system and ran all three different inventories, rebooted and did the inventories, then even did a vulscan (though I don't think there's any connection there). The system would not recognize the new membership in that security group until sometime last night. I'd like to know how a system recognizes the new membership so I can "nudge" a given system to help it install software faster. I would think this is in the User Guide somewhere, but I've looked and looked and haven't found it anywhere.
Thanks.
