Hi arcsarcs,

for the agent, the best way is to uninstall fia and then install glpi-agent. On windows, the vbs script has an option you can enable to do it this way:
https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-ag … oyment.vbs

For the plugin, as GLPI 10 is providing native inventory support, you only need the GlpiInventory plugin which provides the task management support like FI plugins does, take it from marketplace or from here if you want to install it manually in plugins folder:
https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-in … n/releases

You can notice GLPI 10 fully support FIA 2.6, so you can migrate your agents taking your time.

Re: glpi 10 upgrade when fusioninventory ans fusion-agent is here.

Hi gbougard

I just upgraded our server to GLPI 10 and I feel like I'm in deep trouble too.
Our all infra is so old and clunky that GPOs are not really an option,
so 2 years ago we went on a big Fusion Inventory campain and installed the agent
on every machines.

Thing is, since the upgrade has been installed we don't receive any update from the machines.

1: all our machines have FIA sending their data to http://[ourserverip]/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/
Does that means we have to change that url for them to work again ?
What URL should it be http://[ourserverip]/glpi/front/inventory.php ?

2: of course I tried on 1 machine to uninstall FIA install the GLPI Inventory Agent but Avast is blocking it, sending it to quarantine,
and not able to "recover & create exeption"

I feel we are in deep doodoo with this upgrade move, please tell me I won't have to revert ?

Re: glpi 10 upgrade when fusioninventory ans fusion-agent is here.

Ad 1. Yes. From https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-ag … oyment.vbs

SERVER='http://glpi.yourcompany.com/front/inventory.php'

And install GLPI Inventory plugin

Ad 2. You should rather ask in the AVAST forum. Maybe this will help a little: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=227718.0

I have another problem - the fusioninventory plugin won't uninstall from GLPI

questions about the vbs

I launched the vbs, it does install the new agent pas doesn't unsintall FIA
+ it doesn't send the inventory

Re: glpi 10 upgrade when fusioninventory ans fusion-agent is here.

Désolé mon anglais est mauvais mais meilleur que le français

You can use this script to:

run a silent installation on a given machine
deploy the agent on your network using psexec [I like it because I can run the installation on a second machine from my position]
prepare a GPO to deploy the agent on all the machines of the Windows domain

http://fusioninventory.org/documentatio … stall.html

You don't need to use vbs. I listed it because I treat it in part as "documentation" - the correct address format is given there.

Does it allow you to change the address on already installed agents? I do not know. The address is in the register. You can export the key with a new address and import it at selected stations - manually, using batch, using GPO...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\GLPI-Agent /V server  (for GlpiAgent)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\FusionInventory-Agent /V server   (for FusionInventoryAgent)

And it's better to replace fusioninventory agents with GLPI agents. The vbs script has a parameter:

RunUninstallFusionInventoryAgent = "No"

Just change it to Yes and run the script on any station (of course, adjusting the other parameters as well - but you don't have to change much there).

Re: glpi 10 upgrade when fusioninventory ans fusion-agent is here.

First I apologize for my English.

Solution to your problem:

Uninstall fusion inventory plugin.

Download the latest version (currently 10.0.3+1.0)

Unzip the file and locate setup.php for editing

In the line maximum version defines 10.0.3 by 10.0.6
Example:

('PLUGIN_FUSIONINVENTORY_GLPI_MAX_VERSION', '10.0.6');

Install the plugin again

Done, you can continue using fusion inventory without the need to make any changes at the host level
