Wondering is this device still present in AD? as I believe if a device is part of AD and if it got deleted from AD then it will be removed from FNMS as well. @ChrisG please correct me if I am wrong.

Great, I also use OS for segregation but still its a manual effort. @ChrisG I wonder why Flexera is not implementing this simple feature and may I know if there is any plan?

Hi Folks, In FNMS "All inventory" view we have a column called "Inventory Device Type" that tells the device type whether inventory device is VM/VM HOST/Computer etc. but it isn't sufficient when you want to classify the the devices into two parts like Servers and Desktops. I just wanted to know how you folks manage that since its a very basic thing in SAM practice and critical as well when it comes to software license compliance because of allocation and all that, what is your process and advise? Cheers! Farrukh Naz

I suggest you to validate SSL/TLS configurations. I suspect agent is unable to communicate with Beacon server due to incorrect TLS configuration also update HOST file with Beacon's IP address and DNS.

@erwinlindemann we've already did an inplace upgrade of an application/batch server (from Windows server 2012 to 2019) so far I didn't notice any major issue with the application. Can you please highlight some possible issues?

I use 7-Zip utility for unarchiving .gz inventory file and Notepad++ for reading the .NDI file.

Hi, thanks for the update, as per my experience vmware ESXi host duplicate SN caused by a vmware bug in the vmware OS v6.5 and that is a known issue and can be resolved by upgrading the ESX OS v6.5 to any higher version or just by installing the v6.5 path 3. I suggest you verify the ESX OS version for few sample servers in order to find the permanent fix, for more details you can refer following url: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/esxi-host-serial-number/m-p/2760612

Since you need only vCenter NDIs so I believe ESXQURY is a better option as compare to Replication as Replication will dump the NDI for whole environment.

Well, from WebUI that is not possible also even the inventory of freshly deployed agent can only be seen after the reconciliation.

Sine during the FNMS deployment you used only following service account fnms_svc therefore password expiry will impact only processes that used this account, however generally service accounts shouldn't have the password expiry policy.

We had almost similar kind of issue with vCenter vmware discovery (I advise you don't trust browser). In my case I can't access the vCenter via browser but with beacon, esxquery or RVTools I can successfully connect and discovery it. I suggest you following: 1. use google chrome or any other advance browser only (observer the url change etc.) 2. just to test the connection and credentials use a RVTools utility (download its a freeware) 3. additionally use Flexera ESXquery stand alone agent for vmware inventory 4. validate credentials on vCenter and reset or recreate/add Flexera user on vCenter Good luck!

Sometime for unknown reasons FlexNet Inventory Agent skip updating registry/config values for Oracle inventory scanning that can be amended manually on the problematic device. After configuration observe the edition information in the FNMS. You can follow below steps for each platform. Steps for Windows platform Step 1: Go to windows OS registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Tracker\CurrentVersion Step 2: Find/add/edit following two records and set their value to True PerformOracleListenerScan = True PerformOracleInventory = True Steps for Unix like platforms Step 1: Go to following path and find config.ini file /var/opt/managesoft/etc/ Step 2: Find following two records and set their value to True PerformOracleListenerScan=True PerformOracleInventory=True Step 3: Save the modified config.ini file (do not rename) Note: no reboot is required.

Interesting, could you check the "Inventory Device Type" and compare server's "Firmware Number vs. Serial # vs. Chassis" and in order to see what is happing you can check the VMs linked with physical host. By the way I noticed the same issue with Oracle Sparc servers!
