Explicitly executing the Inventory scanner without using the policy engine

Explanation:  You can explicitly execute the Inventory scanner without using the policy engine to verify whether the installed software can report hardware and software inventory of the inventoried server.

Action:  Do the following:

  1. If the ZENworks 6.5 Server Management is not running the Inventory Agent or if the Inventory Agent is not enforced, execute sys:\system\invagentstart.ncf.

  2. Verify whether sys:\etc\invagent.log reports the message "The Inventory Agent's scanning procedure successfully completed." This message indicates that Inventory scanning is successful on the inventoried server.
