Also Flexera has in the newer version the option to create targets and to assign it to a beacon. You can create targets on subnets if you want, and practically you will force the agent to send the data to the designated beacon.   ... View more

Hi, BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe list-tasks This command is equivalent to the following database query (which you could also use within Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio): SELECT *FROM BatchProcessExecutionInfo bi WHERE BatchProcessStatusID IN (1, 2, 3) ORDER BY bi.StatusOrder, bi.DateOrder So if you kill the task with BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe, the tasks should be also deleted in the database. This will not work if Flexera services are stopped. I also encountered a case, where the logs where fine, finished with no error, but the task in the database was with status 3 (processing), I assume that do to an error, the status came back in reverse order and tasks was lost. Having this status the next tasks will no start, because the tasks have some dependencies and will not work in parallel. But if I killed the task with BatchProcessTaskConsole.exe the tasks was automatically updated to status 4 in database and the remaining tasks started to be processed. To kill a tasks in this way, you need to be sure that the tasks is lost, that's why you need to check the log files before using this command. ... View more

If you receive no error during reconcile, probably are other tasks that are hanged or lost, and this is messing up with your reconcile. Double check if Flexera services are started. Flexnet Manager Suite batch process scheduler Flexnet Manager Suite batch processor   Also you can check the flexera batch processor queue to see if there are lost tasks. There should be <Flexera Install directory>\Flexera Software\Flexnet Manager Platform\dotnet\bin There you should have batchprocesstaskconsole.exe run this like batchprocesstaskconsole.exe list-tasks, the list should be empty or at least you can see which tasks are causing trouble.   ...

Yes, I had such a case, with a DMZ zone for one of our customer, and the communication is allowed only from lan => DMZ zone. I used BITS protocol and powershell to transfer data. Installed the ZTI version of the agent with the option to upload to a file share but you can also install a beacon (stand alone beacon) , on the beacon create a powershell script that will generate a control file, as we need know which file we gather from beacon server. In the central network create other powershell script that will pull the control file, process it and transfer the .ndi files in the incoming folder according to list that is in the control file. As I used the ZTI solution, I didn't need to copy beacon control files and stuff like this. The limitation is that when you upgrade the agent you need manually to do this. I know that this is not a standard solution but at least it worked. ... View more

Hi Chris, Thank you for your quick reply, will take this info to security team. ... View more

Hi, Sorry to jump in your topic, but I'm in the same situation, I have some secured LAN where the communication is allowed only from Secure LAN -> Normal LAN where the admin servers are. I was thinking to implement a ZTI solution using only the core of the agent, and scripting command to upload inventory via https to a beacon in normal LAN. But this solution have some limitation, like the agent will be unmanaged, and no automatic update of the agent will take place with the new version update. My question to @ChrisG  is: do the normal agent  (I mean the one that is managed by admin servers) need both way communication or only from secure LAN -> normal LAN is allowed? ... View more

Hi, From the beacon server, try to access the vCenter with https://vCenter/mob You should receive a screen with authentication, you can put there the user name and password that you have, this way you can check if the connection between beacon and vCenter and credential are working. After that from beacon server try to ping the vCenter after ip/fqdn (in some network the ICMP protocol is closed, and ping is not possible, FNMS use ping to test the server, when you use discovery method) You should also check if the password store from beacon is correctly configured.   Type of the account configured in password store should be account on VmWare VirtualCenter If this steps are ok, then is a problem of WebUI configuration and rule creation And of course check the log files, they are in c:\programdata\Flexera Softare\Compliance\InventoryRule, order the folder after that, as there can be a lot of rules, every time you run a inventory, a new folder with log is created.   ...

I don't know how is your network layout, in my case, the SSL certificates are issued by a internal CA server and the CRL is listed on a internal ip, I spoke with networking team and opened a network flow to that IP, and this solved the issue. To solve the CRL issue, I can think to do on of the following: 1. Find out the CRL address and open proxy/firewall to that one 2. Disable the CRL checking from registry not advised and not recommended from security point of view. ... View more

Hi Krystel, As far as I know there is no log for flow like this, I manage to do a work around on this and to create a rudimentary log on every beacon server. I create a simple powershell file, that will list the content of the Incoming folder (the folder where the inventory .ndi file are landing) and populate a .csv file with this information. The script should be executed before the upload of the file is done by the beacon, I put an extra action in the upload Flexera log and inventories. The powerhsell command that I use is : dir 'C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Incoming\Inventories' | select Name,CreationTime | Export-Csv 'd:\temp\beacon_wrg.csv' -Append​ I this way I gather a csv file from each beacon server, after that with some sql/xls or what is more familiar to you, you can combine the data and create some kind of flow. I hope this info is helpful for your. ... View more
