GLPI Inventory

Hi,

just a short question, so i "accidentally" deleted one of my monitors and removed it from the Recycle bin. How do i trigger an agent to recollect all the information, like it was done initially?

for a little background, i have done this, as i have first added all my clients with monitors and everything and only after that realized, that it does not automatically create inventory numbers
so i downloaded the Inventory Number Generation Plugin from the market place and created a template for Monitors and Computers where Inventory Number is <\g#####> i found this somewhere here in the forum

i hope someone can help me here

i just saw i have a little change in my server address of the agent ... thats why it did not work

just to check anyone here who had to change the server address of the agent AFTER distributing it to a lot of clients?
i tried with msiexec /i MSIagent.msi /quiet SERVER=http://myserveraddress/marketplace/glpiinventory /norestart ALLUSERS=2
but it seems that this command does only install the software, but not reinstall it with modified values.

the SERVER switch works, as when i remove /quiet it shows up while the installation but somehow i cant quietly reinstall it

Hi.

After changing the server address, I do not reinstall the agents, I only change the value in the registry:

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\GLPI-Agent /v server /d new_address /t REG_SZ /f

My pleasure.
You can also change other settings in this way. Just check what else cool in this key you can find.

In this way, I also automated the software update. I check the GLPI version in the registry and if it is different than expected, batch starts with the new installer. And this is the only time I reinstall the agent.

Hello... sorry could you send me the bat you use to update? I'm interested.
