@ChrisG Can this API be used to retrieve any custom report, similar to the existing SOAP API? Based on the docs, and my own experience, the files endpoint only works to retrieve the files generated by the inventoriesIndex API. However, I see you're including a custom report name. I tried this (both with and without spaces) but I keep getting a "filename not found" error (my report is called "VM Report"). Here's my PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $Header -Uri "https://api.flexera.com/fnms/v1/orgs/<myOrg>/files/VM%20Report"

Hi all, In the FSM docs for all the Microsoft products there is a note within the user role section saying, "Once the Authorization is completed and the integration tasks are executed successfully, the user role can be reduced to the Report Reader role." Office 365, for example, lists a couple of roles: Application Administrator Reports Reader License Administrator Does the note mean that once the initial setup is performed the above three roles can be removed and the Report Reader role is all that's needed for ongoing operation? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply, Deepa. From a technical perspective, is our only option to use version 5.5.36 so we can make plaintext inserts?

Hello, How can we manually update the ServiceNow token in the database? As of 5.5.37 the token is encrypted so we need to supply the token, use Data Platform's encryption function on the token plaintext and then insert that ciphertext in the database. Due to security constraints we need to update the token outside the OOTB setup. Thanks!

Hello all, How do user scope restrictions work in Flexera One as compared to FNMS? In FNMS we can scope by cost center, operating unit, location or category. In Flexera One all I can find is creating different billing centers. Is this the right way to accomplish scoping? Seems much less finite than FNMS (which itself is somewhat coarse) so hopefully I'm missing something. Thanks!

Thanks for the input, Chris. As always, I appreciate your insight!

Thanks @ChrisG and @mfranz for the input. One thing I didn't see in the docs is an "update" function within mgspswd.exe. Is the proper way to overwrite an existing account's password with a new one something like? mgspswd.exe --account <my account> --password <my new password>

Hello fellow FNMS practitioners. Currently, we have FNMS agents deployed to our macOS devices. This works fine, although it's more agents to manage and end user devices are frequently off network which is a real hassle. Recently, we've implemented Data Platform which has an OOTB integration for Jamf Pro. Does anyone have experience with a Jamf > Data Platform > FNMS integration vs the FNMS agent? I'm unsure of the quality of Jamf as a data source and even less so after passing it through Data Platform. The ease of maintenance provided by Jamf is attractive but of course compliance positions are paramount. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello everyone. Is it possible to update an existing credential in the password manager via command line? My goal is to programmatically update the password manager to accommodate credential vaulting solutions beyond CyberArk. Thanks in advance.

A bit counterintuitive but I appreciate your insight. Thanks for the help!

Thanks @ChrisG and @mfranz for your input. FNMS is integrated with AD so the users previously coming from SCCM are then also matched to AD. Should I expect the last inventory source for those user records to change when an integration is removed? Even though the SCCM integration was removed a week ago, and the AD import has been running daily, I'm still seeing SMS as the last inventory source for users.

Hello everyone, What happens to user records after their originating integration is removed? For instance, if I have an SCCM integration which creates user records should those users be removed when I delete the SCCM integration? I know that is the behavior for inventory devices but I haven't found anything about users in particular. Thanks!

The release notes are now available - https://docs.flexera.com/fnms/EN/features/index.html#FeatureList/2019R2-3/2019_r2_3.html

Where are the release notes for FNMS 2019 R2.3? It went live in the NAM UAT instance last night but the features by release page only goes up to 2019 R2.2. Thanks!

Hi Aamer, Thanks for your response. I should clarify, all access to App-V apps is controlled via AD security groups. XenDesktop just provides users access to a VM and from there all apps are managed by App-V. Based on that, sounds like we'll get what we need from the PowerShell script. Any input on how to tackle the dual environment issue? Thanks!
