<h1 class="topictitle1">How to use inventories </h1>
|
|
<div><p>When you view an inventory on an endpoint system, you can right-click
|
|
any item in the inventory list to see the actions you can perform on the item.
|
|
Also by selecting the properties menu option for an inventory item (such as
|
|
hardware) more information is displayed about that item. </p>
|
|
<p>For example, here are just a few of the ways that you can use inventories
|
|
to manage your servers:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>After you have collected <dfn class="term">fixes inventory</dfn>, you can compare
|
|
fixes on one or more endpoint systems to the fixes on a model system. You
|
|
can then send the missing fixes to the target endpoint systems and install
|
|
them on those systems. You can also export the fixes inventory to a PC file,
|
|
which you can use to work with the data in a spreadsheet program or other
|
|
application.</li>
|
|
<li>When you are viewing a <dfn class="term">software inventory</dfn>, you can select
|
|
any software product in the list, send it to one or more target endpoint systems,
|
|
and install it on those systems. You can also export the software inventory
|
|
to a PC file, which you can use to work with the data in a spreadsheet program
|
|
or other application.</li>
|
|
<li>Display a <dfn class="term">hardware inventory</dfn> list to see the resource, status,
|
|
and description of all hardware on the endpoint system. This is a very easy
|
|
way to check the operational status of your hardware. The Status column reflects
|
|
the operational status at the time of the last inventory collection (which
|
|
is shown above the list). You can right-click any hardware listed and select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>.
|
|
You can review a great deal of information under the General, Physical location,
|
|
and Logical address tabs. You can use this information for upgrades as well
|
|
as problem analysis. You can also export the hardware inventory to a PC file,
|
|
which you can use to work with the data in a spreadsheet program or other
|
|
application.</li>
|
|
<li>When you display the list for a <dfn class="term">user inventory</dfn>, you can right-click
|
|
one or more users and select any of the following actions: delete, edit, view
|
|
the properties, or scan for objects owned by a user. You can do similar actions
|
|
with groups by selecting Group Inventory for an endpoint system. <p>You can
|
|
search these inventories based on criteria that you specify. Additional search
|
|
function is available when you search a users and groups inventory. You can
|
|
export the results of the search or an entire inventory to a PC file to work
|
|
with the data in a spreadsheet program or other application.</p>
