Immediately rescheduling the Inventory Agent by using the policy engine
At the ZENworks Server Management console prompt, enter policy refresh or policy enforce all or policy enforce policy number.
Ensure that the Inventory Agent is enforced immediately.
Explicitly executing the Inventory scanner without using the policy engine
If the ZENworks 7 Server Management is not running the Inventory Agent or if the Inventory Agent is not being enforced, execute invagentstart.bat.
Verify whether 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.
Multiple instances of the same Inventory server are reported in the Inventory Scan Listing
The ZENworks Server Management Inventory Agent running on the Windows server does not check for the -NDS tag and reports the name of the server with the -NDS tag. But the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - Inventory Agent reports the name of the Inventory server without the -NDS tag. Consequently, multiple instances of the same Inventory server are stored and reported in Inventory results such as the Inventory Scan Listing report.
Multiple instances of the CD-ROM drive are reported on a Windows 2003 server
After the next scan, the CD-ROM drive instance is reported as a single instance.
