Situation
Using "zman isn" to
initiate an inventory scan on all devices in a folder, e.g.
zman isn "workstations/head office/floor13"
zman reports There are no devices to assign the quick task.
If a single device is specified, e.g.,
zman isn "workstations/head office/floor13/dellXP27"
then the command works as expected
zman isn "workstations/head office/floor13"
zman reports There are no devices to assign the quick task.
If a single device is specified, e.g.,
zman isn "workstations/head office/floor13/dellXP27"
then the command works as expected
Resolution
