Hi Adrian, thank you for the idea. We have to support the full sortiment of operating systems available. And so I found the command CURL very usefull. It has a bunch of options, but there are no deviation on each architectures options. And it has choices for deep inspection of multiple protocols and is also available on MS Windows from stock. For pure connection inspection you can use i.e. "curl -vki https://flexbeacon". Second test might be the reachability of Certificate Authority (Port 80 !), potentially it is in another DMZ. And if there are network related showstoppers, you have to dive deeper. How already mentioned, because of security concerns are there some protocols barred from use. So ping and oldstyle traceroute might not work. But because you are only interested in TCP-traffic of HTTP protocol, you are lucky to use your "netstat -an" to analyse your stack of TCP-ports. Filtering it with grep/findstr for status "SYN" or "FIN" will give you hints for broken network connections. Your network dude will appreciate your hints. Kind regards, Juergen

User records will get created by an import process as long as they continue to exist in source data that has been/is being imported. I think whether the "Last Inventory Source" field gets set will depend somewhat on some details of where the source data is coming from, and it sounds like that field is not giving direct insight into the source in your situation.
You may be able to get some insight about where the source data is coming from by looking at records that exist directly in the compliance database. For example, a query like the following may help:
SELECT
iu.UserName,
iu.SAMAccountName,
cc.ConnectionNameDisplayName,
cc.LastImportDate
FROM dbo.ImportedUser iu
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ComplianceConnection cc
ON cc.ComplianceConnectionID = iu.ComplianceConnectionID

The 'Discovery and Inventory rules for HyperV' are a 'red herring', similar to the Discovery and Inventory rules for Microsoft SQL Server. In contrast to VMware - where the Flexera Beacon is contacting the VMware API for retrieving additional information including the Host/Guest relationship - the effect of these HypverV and SQL Server rules is that the device is targetet for 'remote inventory'. Basically, this means that the Beacon is trying to use RPC calls for running the Flexera agent remotely on the target device. As this 'zero touch' inventory has a lot of prerequisites including configuring an Administrator account for the target systems on the Beacon, installing a Flexera agent on the Host running Hyper-V generally is a better option.

One clarification on the MaxDuplicateImportedComputerSerialNo setting: in a multi-tenant system (including Flexera One ITAM) the setting is tenant-specific, so it can be set to different values for different tenants through the ComplianceTenantSetting view.
For example:
EXEC dbo.SetTenant 'ACME Corp'
UPDATE s
SET SettingValue = '1' -- Default is '2'
FROM dbo.ComplianceTenantSetting s
JOIN dbo.SettingName sn ON sn.SettingNameID = s.SettingNameID
WHERE sn.Name ='MaxDuplicateImportedComputerSerialNo'

Based on people's experience with this kind of key collection, how is the key typically stored after collection? Does the license need to be created in FlexNet Manager before the key can be stored?

This is included with the services you subscribe to from Flexera with FNMS cloud, i.e. Flexera will own the task of keeping the SKU, PURL and ARL libraries current.

Hello! Just recently, like 5 days ago, we've found the solution to this issue. Obviously this might not be the solution in your case. But as this is quite easy to check you should give it a go. In the far top right corner open the drop down menu. From there navigate to "System Settings" -> "Users". There is a blacklist of users (Note: There are wildcards!). One of these entries prevented creating the necessary accounts.
