Computer Description

[comatose]

Hello,

I have a small question. We created extra lists to display pc's which were not seen in the last 30, 60 & 90 days.
After 90 days we delete the computers from the domain.

Problem is that we have a couple of pc's which are in a offline location and those cannot be removed from the inventory list although they are not scanned frequently.

I tried adding a description in the reg key :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\LANMANSERVER\PARAMETERS

srvcomment REG_SZ blablacomment

I found that this was the location where it is inserted in the registry.

Nevertheless, when changing the days to scan for OS from 3 to 0 & rescanning the pc, nothing appeats int he database.

What am I doing wrong?

And one additional question. If I update the value in the SQL database itself & for one reason the pc comes online again, will the manual added value in the SQL db be overwritten by the empty or non existing value in the registry (as I cannot update the registry for these offline pc's)

Many thanks for your replies...

Do you see the scanned date updating for this item?

It will be overwritten in the database.
Maybe it's better to use one of the custom fields.

I confirm that the scanned date is updated.
(I even deleted the machine from the database in the configurator & rescanned it with
psexec \\%computername% -c scriptje.bat

in the batch file I run lsclient.exe which is installed in NETLOGON share

All scan dates are now todays date as I deleted the pc prior to the scan.

Can you please give me some more info regarding the custom fields? How can I use them? Can I easily add this column in my manually created reports?

On the computer screen you see a tab "custom fields"
To use this in your reports link tblcomputers to tblcompcustom
