REMARK: You may print or display this reference at any time by selecting the "Quick start" option in the "Help" menu.
The easiest thing you can do to start with your tests is to audit your own PC.
For the time being, do not touch any other options.
REMINDER: It may take some time for the system to complete a full inventory cycle and for the data to be available in the database. Also, while the normal audit mode is differential and uses less resources, the first audit is always Full and therefore requires more processing time.
REMARK: For your tests, it may be simpler to execute the agent manually. Afterwards, you'll certainly choose to automate all the following processes by inserting the appropriate commands in the users login script. See "Deployment via Login Script" in the help file for more detailed information.
You may execute a manual remote audit without need of installing any software on the local machine. By doing this, you simulate an audit that would be automatically launched through a network connection script. To execute this audit, follow the instructions below:
"\\server_name\share_name\bin\agent\sxsila.exe"
This program is the interactive version of the Synexsys agent sxsiagent.exe, which is to be used in batch mode in the login script.
..\Program Files\Synexsys\server\inbox
of your Synexsys server.
If you wish to audit a PC that is not connected to the network, you can do it manually. There are different methods. The following is the most practical one to use in the tests:
; SXSI FTP server and Port
;-------------------------SERVER= delete the initial value and leave empty
PORT= delete the initial value and leave empty; Working (temp) directory (%=environment variable)
;---------------------------------------------------TEMP= C:\SXSI\TEMP is preferable to the original value
; Directory where to store SID file (%=environment variable)
------------------------------------------------------------SID=C:\SXSI is preferable to the original value
REMINDER: If you are in the Synexsys Console, use the F5 function key or the "Refresh display" option from the "Tools" menu to update the information displayed on the screen.
Exclusively for the following operating systems : Win NT / Win 2000 / Win XP / Win 2003 | |
To perform this test you need DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR and LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS! |
You may automatically push the inventory agent to a PC connected to the network. To do it:
