Thanks. I found another thread on this topic which appeared to indicate that with cloud it was not possible as t he Inventory Adapter code is updated from the "master" prior to any imports and your updates will be removed. Additionally, if you "disconnect" the beacon in order to run the inventory, there is an additional hash check to ensure that no code in the Inventory Adapter was changed and the inventory will be discarded and not loaded. Not sure if this is still the case (am thinking yes) or as you suggested if protecting the adapter files on the file system level would address. Will try and test out. I have found a few limitations with cloud versus on-prem that I am trying to figure out if I can still do another way. Another example is inventory replication from prod to dev (ndi files) with web.config but that does not appear to be possible in cloud from what I can see. https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/Update-SCCM-readers-to-just-import-servers/td-p/96316

We are a FNMS Cloud customer and are setting up UAT environment to match as best as possible the prod environment. We are looking at configuring the SCCM job and given 1000 device limit in UAT FNMS cloud is it possible to configure the SCCM inventory adapter to import only 500 devices? Thanks Craig

We have completed some clean up activities and wanted to reset peak consumption so PVU license no longer shows as at risk. I remember we could do this in an earlier version but can't see how to do on FNMS 2020 R2. Any ideas? Thanks

I know several configuration requirements in order for IBM to accept FNMS as alternative to ILMT but am not sure if enabling file evidence is one. Thanks Craig

The webinar mentions future enhancements to agent to detect edition and also for FNMS to handle bundles. Is that yet in place? Thanks Craig

We are working on an FNMS implementation and getting some push back from IT security on enabling IIS basic authentication with PCI compliance in scope. Web Server > Security > Basic Authentication (page 88 of install guide) Web Server > Security > Windows Authentication Anyone have details on specific details/functionality for requirement of basic authentication and a method to possibly disable? Thanks Craig

Just had call with Flexera on this is apparently a bug. Details below...until fix we need to adjust our steps when upgrading other customers where file exclusions are configured. #CustCall Provided customer workaround Logged as bug and enhancement Please refer to, Bug: IOJ-2119536 Enhancement: IOJ-2119539 Workaround: Only for on-prem: Run query, against FNMSCompliance db: SELECT [BeaconTargetPropertyID] ,[BeaconTargetID] ,[KeyName] ,[Value] ,[TenantID] FROM [FNMP].[dbo].[BeaconTargetPropertyValue_MT] ORDER BY [FNMP].[dbo].[BeaconTargetPropertyValue_MT].BeaconTargetID Delete any records where KeyName is CTrackerExcludeDirectory (and the BeaconTargetID links to 'target__unix' in the BeaconTarget_MT table) 'UPDATE BeaconPolicy SET RevisionNumber = RevisionNumber + 1' - This will remove the exclude directory from the beacon policy, and then agent policy (for Unix devices). Note that the cached device configuration contents.ndc on an agent device will cause the 'original' value to be restored to config.ini on the next policy run after exclude directory is removed from the FNMS db policy properties. If this is not desired, the 'cache' and 'pkgcache' directories on the agent machine in /var/opt/managesoft/launcher should be deleted and then policy reapplied. However, please note that if the Inventory Settings page in the FNMS UI is saved again, the exclude directory property will be added to BeaconTargetPropertyValue_MT again, requiring the above workaround (1 - 4) to be applied to remove it.

We typically install two environments with our FNMS deployments (dev/test and prod) and are wondering from a MS-SQL requirement and to save on licensing costs if we can install SQL server standard edition in prod and free SQL server developer edition in test. My understanding is that the developer edition has the same features as enterprise edition but am wondering if there are other reasons why I should NOT install developer edition in test/dev environment. Thanks Craig

we just completed upgrade from 2018 r1 to 2019 r2 and noticed that the files exclusions we had configured in the config.ini on several Unix servers appear to have been removed. Note that the agents have not been upgraded yet. An example of the config.ini entry is below and am wondering if the new feature where you can configure exclusions from UI pushed down via policy which is now removing the existing exclusions in the config.ini file on the yet to be upgraded agents. Now that we have upgraded the application server is it now that manual updates of config.ini on specific servers is not supported and all exclusions must be configured on UI and applied globally? Thanks Craig IncludeDirectory=/

I feel like this maybe a silly question but we have a existing implementation of FNMS supporting servers so we only have FNMS datacenter license. We are looking to deploy as an initial test the FNMS agent for a few EUC devices before we procure additional licenses. Will that work if we still only have the FNMS datacenter license? Thanks Craig

Did you try installing agent on your Photon Linux based VCSA 6.5/6.7 vCenters appliance to obtain an inventory for this device? We have a similar issue where the Vcenter job creates an NDI and shell record for the VCSA appliance but is missing critical information such as serial number. Am thinking we need to install the agent (assuming works) on this device to fill out the shell record. Something doesn't seen quite right with the process though. Craig

@ChrisG I see creating a bearer token is required for cloud which can be obtained by going to Accounts > All Accounts > Create an account > Service account in the web UI. Adda new account, and the token will be displayed once when the account is created. I don't a reference to service account in the web UI, am I missing something? Thanks Craig

What is the recommended method to import MAC inventory into FNMS 2019 R2 where Jamf deployed? I don't believe a Tier 1 adapter exists so was thinking to leverage Jamf to deploy FNMS agent and obtain MAC inventory from FNMS agent. I believe Data Platform has a connector to Jamf but we do not have that tool so is not an option here. Please advise Thanks

Quick (hopefully) clarification on if the FNMS agents can be installed on your FNMS infrastructure servers (e.g. batch and beacon servers). My understanding previously was it was recommended NOT to install the FNMS agent on these servers as will cause issues. I wanted to confirm that this is still the case and if yes the reasons why the FNMS cannot be installed and also how an inventory can then be obtained from these FNMS infrastructure servers. Thanks
