Last inventory date updated after the server has been decommissioned

[HPNZNB]

Hello,

Is it possible that the 'Last inventory date' still keep updated after the server was decommissioned?

We have couple servers have been decommissioned over couple weeks but I still see the last inventory date updated daily.

Thanks

A few scenarios can cause behaviour like this,

+If this happens on a regular basis (like every day) it sounds like its an additional inventory source updating this, like SCCM for example. That will most likely be on your beacon.

+if its a one-off it may very well be its an NDI that got stuck on a beacon and only just getting uploaded now.

+there is also a possibility that the matching logic is getting confused, this tends to happen if you cloned the original machine for example onto a new VM, FNMS will think its the same machine.

The best way to check these scenarios is to get a return from your compliancecomputer and importedcomputer tables,

provided your not on FNMS cloud... on ComplianceDB, run: (replace mycomputer123 with your own patient)

select * from importedcomputer where computername = 'mycomputer123'
select * from compliancecomputer where computername = 'mycomputer123'

this will help verify both the inventory sources being used, when they last got updated/created and if it may be getting confused on the match.

If you can post your results here {you can anon this if you prefer} I can show you how to determine this, (or log a ticket to support if you prefer to do this in private)

((If your on FNMS Cloud you will need to log a ticket anyway as only support have access to the cloud DB))

Many thanks!
