Hi, This is interesting. If agent inventories went missing, something must have removed them from the FNMSInventory DB. Are you sure there's no process triggering such removal? Best regards, Markward

I would assume that the scripts target only default tagets. They seem to be marked with "1" in the Internal column. USE FNSMCompliance
SELECT *
FROM BeaconTarget_MT
WHERE Internal = 1 Maybe it's enough to remove these.

USE FNSMCompliance
SELECT *
FROM BeaconTarget_MT As you're in the middle of a migration, I assume you have database backups 😉

Looks like the migrations steps would like to insert existing values into the BeaconTarget_MT table. If you remove all entries from this table, the migration script should insert everything with new IDs.

Agreed, that could be useful. But then again, ideally FNMS would reflect what has been decided/done in the leading system. From my experience, FNMS should not be the leading system on users/accounts. Also I wouldn't recommend a manual process with 40k users. I would also think that reasons why users were disabled, etc. may need to be tracked, which is not exactly a strength of FNMS.

Hi, We usually implement this in Business Imports. Are you running FNMS on premises? Best regards, Markward

Hi, It should work like this: Existing agents "know" and communicate to Beacon A. Beacon A is reconnected to the new environment, which also includes Beacon B. Beacon A is fetching the latest updates, which includes details about Beacon B. From now on Agents "talking" to Beacon A, will also learn about Beacon B. How both Beacons relate to each other (Parent-Child or in parellel) shouldn't matter. Also, this is a process, it may take time until all agents have caught up on the data. A few things regarding the service accounts: As mentioned before, to run stuff you need to use the account from your own domain. To talk cross-domain you'll need the credentials for the target domain. If the domains have trust relationship, mixing accounts might be possible. Still, for the sake of transparency and future operability, there should be a clear plan what accounts are to be used. Agents do not authorize against the Beacon, so there shouldn't be a problem. Best regards, Markward

Hi Ben, Does the cloud provider offer some kind of overview, maybe an API, to identify live VMs? What would you do with this information? Do these short lived instances somehow consume license entitlements? Best regards, Markward

Hi Ben, I have some questions: Is this about a specific provider, like Azure? How deep are these instances integrated in existing management systems, e.g. AD? What operating systems are used? You mentioned "whether [...] is still live". In most cases, inventory is a poor indicator for that. If there was something managing these instances, like a vCenter, Azure, or even a disposal process, I'd prefer that. Best regards, Markward

Hi, It sounds like you might mix something up here. The account and domain the Beacon service may be running under, is one thing. The credentials the beacon uses to connect to another Beacon or Inventory server, is another. So you might run the new Beacon with B\svc-flexera, but configure the parent connection to use A\svc-flexera as credentials, because the other beacon is running in domain A. Best regards, Markward

Hi, Accessing the Excel data is imho no real SQL. I usually first stage the data from any type of files into the FNMSCompliance database and then run proper SQL from there. Best regards, Markward
