Hello Team,
Just want to know if we need sql server native clients on the beacon servers.

Hi,
If you want the beacon to access a database of any kind, you'll need the proper database drivers. Like to run a SCCM Reader, you'll need Microsoft SQL DB drivers. Depending on the data source, you might need Oracle ODAC, IBM DB2 drivers, etc.
Edit: It actually no longer the native client, but Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server
Best regards,
Markward

Good afternoon all,
I agree with the above.
I'm just adding the quote from the ITAM pre-requisite documentation with regards to specific database driver versions and architectures, which may be relevant:
https://docs.flexera.com/fnms/EN/SysReq/index.html#FNMS_sys_req/RN_sys_req_prereq.html
I'd of course check against the specific version of the product, if you're using on-premises or ITAM Beacons, on the docs.flexera.com site.
Kind regards and thanks,
Jack
