Hi Rajesh, Can you try this, please? When using the default template for importing POs as well as when using a business importer (MGSBI) If you are importing from an Excel (.xlsx) file, make sure all data in the "PO Number" column are formatted as "Text" (data display left aligned in Excel) If you are importing data from a CSV file, use a "schema.ini" file to specify that the "PO Number" column needs to be treated as "Text".

This checkbox will only have an effect during license creation from a purchase order. The license will get the name of the most recent version and edition that has been configured when the license is being created initially. The license name will not be updated automatically in case the applications configured on the license change. The applications linked to a license can be updated automatically during the daily compliance import in case the license is under maintenance (has upgrade privileges) and a new version of the product is released (which we learn through the ARL updates). As a best practice, it is recommended to name your licenses using your own standardized naming convention. If the license is under maintenance, the license name should NOT contain the latest release of the application (like '2019') as this license can be consumed by older versions of the application, too ...

Asking the obvious: Have all databases been migrated to FNMS 2019 R1 without any errors? Could you share the 'ComplianceReader.log' file from your FNMS Batch server, please?

Hi Werner, Sorry in case I'm beating a dead cow: The syntax for triggering a download of the policy from a Beacon to a client computer is: mgsPolicy -t machine -o DownloadROOTURL=http://beacon.name/ManageSoftDL Case generally does not matter when running this command. Can you check the following please: You are using an equal sign ("=") - no colon (:) when running the command? The "mgsPolicy" command is triggered from an Administrator command window?

Hi David, You could try to manually drop the affected application pool from IIS, as the PowerShell script should recreate the application pool with correct configuration. My personal recommendation would be to use the server manager tool for completely removing the web server (IIS) role from your Windows 2016 computer. Then do a reboot and add the web server (IIS) role using the configuration shown in the screen shot that you sent.

@Flex-Jeremy Wow. Providing a dedicated article for pointing to the FNMS "System Health" page to be used as a "report" is kind of overkill :-). I was hoping for a real report showing historical dates when the ARL/PURL/SKU libraries actually have been updated on the FNMS system by a newer release. Feel free to consider this as a feature request ...

Hi David, I don't think this issue is related to the OS you are using. The PowerShell configuration script runs well on Windows 2016. It is more likely that the IIS configuration on the W2K16 system is incomplete. On your Windows 2016 Server, can you confirm that in IIS, all IIS Roles/Services are enabled as described on page #89 in the "Installing FNMS 2019 R1 on Premises.pdf" document? I copied the list below: • Web Server > Application Development > .NET Extensibility • Web Server > Application Development > ASP.NET • Web Server > Application Development > CGI • Web Server > Application Development > ISAPI Extensions • Web Server > Application Development > ISAPI Filters • Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Default Document • Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Directory Browsing • Web Server > Common HTTP Features > HTTP Errors • Web Server > Common HTTP Features > HTTP Redirection • Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Static Content • Web Server > Health and Diagnostics > HTTP Logging • Web Server > Performance > Dynamic Content Compression • Web Server > Performance > Static Content Compression • Web Server > Security > Basic Authentication • Web Server > Security > Request Filtering • Web Server > Security > Windows Authentication

In this article, you are referencing the SKU Library Report from the following community article (https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Knowledge-Base/SKU-Library-Update-Report/ta-p/5900). The SKU libary report referenced requires using SQL Server Reporting Services which is no longer used in FNMS 2014 and above. Might be time for providing a new SKU Library Report that has no dependency on SQL Server Reporting Services?

Hi David, Looks as if on your system, the function "SetupAppPoolIdentity" that is part of the "ConfigHelper.ps1" PowerShell script fails. The statement that should configure the ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool on your system should show in the LOG like: [MM/DD/YYYY 23:59:14] Application Pool: ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool [MM/DD/YYYY 23:59:14] Command: C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\./appcmd.exe set config /section:applicationPools "/[name='ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool'].processModel.identityType:SpecificUser" "/[name='ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool'].processModel.userName:<DOMAIN>\********" "/[name='ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool'].processModel.password:********" Applied configuration changes to section "system.applicationHost/applicationPools" for "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" at configuration commit path "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" The error message that you reported indicates that there is an undeclared (null) variable in the PowerShell script when the "SetupAppPoolIdentity" function is executed. Looking at the "ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool" PowerShell function, it checks for an existing ManageSoftWebServiceAppPool and tries to retrieve the credentials (user name and password) for it to use it for reconfiguring the Application Pool. Not necessarily a good idea if you want to reconfigure your FNMS system. Is there a valid user account configured for the SetupAppPoolIdentity application pool in IIS under "Process Model > Idenity"? Can you update this manually to use a valid user account and password before running the PS script again?

Hi David, When running the PS configuration scripts, a log file named “config.log” will be created in the “Support” folder where the PS “config.ps1” configuration script is located. You should find more detailed information in this log file.

Hi David, On the server you are running the PowerShell scripts on, can you open the "Internet Informatin Services (IIS) Manager" tool, please? When browsing the configuration, make sure that under "Sites", you see a node named "Default Web Site". In case it has a different name, rename it to "Default Web Site" In case there is no "Default Web Site", use "Add Website..." to add it. Then try re-running your PowerShell configuration script, please.

Hi Kathy, The confusion might result from the way FNMS treats Inventories linked to an Asset having its status set to "In storage". In older releases of FNMS, an Inventory that was linked to an Asset having the status "In storage" was considered to be active and all applications on the Inventory were counted. In newer releases of FNMS, if the Asset has a status of "In storage", the Inventory is still being managed by FNMS and is considered an active inventory and will count against your FNMS license. However, if the Asset is "In storage", all applications will be removed from the Inventory linked to the Asset now. This Inventory is active, but will not consume any software licenses. This behavior is shown in the response from @mfranz, too. You can build a custom report from the FNMS Web UI that shows both the status of the Inventory as well as the status of the Asset linked to it in distinct columns.

Hi Steve, Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) is not really an Inventory tool. However, you can use the "OEM Adapter" to extract a TNSNAMES.ORA file that can be used for scanning Oracle databases remotely from a Beacon. For additional details, please review the FNMSSystemReference.pdf file available for download from the FNMS online help. There is a chapter "Oracle Discovery and Inventory > Interaction with Oracle Enterprise Manager" providing additional information. Generally, collecting the Oracle inventory by installing a FNMS Agent on the Oracle server is easier to implement and easier to maintain than scanning Oracle databases remotely.

Remember that computers must respond to a PING (ICMP) request to be discovered sucessfully. Typically, the required steps would be: Add the IP adresses as a new site to the "Discovery & Inventory > Network > Subnets" page. In case you want to target specific IP adresses, you can assign multiple "One IP network" with a /32 network mask to your site, like 172.31.0.15/32. Make sure that all subnets are assigned to a Beacon. Use the "Discovery & Inventory > Network > Unassigned Subnets" page for assigning multiple subnets to the same Beacon in a single step. Under "Discovery & Inventory > Discovery > Discovery and Inventory Rules" locate the rule that is being used for discovering servers. Open the rule to find which targets are used for this rule. Again under "Discovery & Inventory > Discovery > Discovery and Inventory Rules", locate the target that you identified in the previous step and open it for editing. In the list "Define machines to target", make sure that the new/updated subnet is included. Save your target after updating it. Make sure the updated rule information (with the updated target) is downloaded to the Beacon assigned to the IP subnet (see step #2). You can enforce immediate updating by using the "Update Rules" button in the "Rules" section in the Beacon UI. On the Beacon, you can trigger the immediate execution of the rule by selecting it in the "Rules" section and clickin on the the "Run" button. Discovery results will be visible in the FNMS Web UI immediately (without Compliance Import). In case the servers are not being discovered immediately, check the LOG files on the Beacon (inventorybeacon.log, beaconEngine.log) for further information. You can also enforce additional logging by editing the \Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\Inventory Beacon\etdp.trace file. Hope this helps :-).
