Running stand-alone inventory packages on target computers

(Windows only)

After you create stand-alone inventory packages on Notification Server, you run the packages on target computers to gather inventory data. Stand-alone inventory packages are EXE files.

See Creating, editing, or cloning stand-alone inventory packages.

To run a stand-alone package and gather the inventory correctly, the logged on user must be a local administrator.

This task is a step in the process for gathering inventory using stand-alone packages.

See Gathering inventory using stand-alone packages.

To run stand-alone inventory packages on target computers

  1. Make the stand-alone inventory package available to the target computers.

    See About methods for making stand-alone inventory packages available to target computers.

  2. (Optional) Use command-line switches to modify the default behavior of the package.

  3. Run the stand-alone inventory package.

  4. (Optional) If you distribute the stand-alone inventory packages manually, you must also manually copy the inventory data files to the Notification Server computer after you run the package.

    See Manually reporting stand-alone inventory data.
