Manually reporting stand-alone inventory data

Stand-alone inventory package command-line switches (continued)
Table 5-4
Command-line switch
/SendInventoryTo
destination
If the stand-alone inventory package saved the inventory data to a location other
than the Notification Server computer, you must manually copy the inventory
data. The location of the stored inventory data is determined by the options of
the stand-alone package or a command-line switch when the package was run.
See "Creating and editing stand-alone inventory packages"
See "Running stand-alone inventory packages on target computers"
The inventory data is stored in files with an NSE extension. The NSE files must
be copied to a Notification Server by a user who has rights to the server. Generally,
any user on a managed computer has sufficient rights.
Manually reporting stand-alone inventory data
Copy the inventory files to the following folder:
\\notification_server_name\NSCap\EvtInbox
When the files are copied, the inventory data is stored in the CMDB.

Manually reporting stand-alone inventory data
Description
Use this switch to override the value for the "Send Inventory
to" option that is specified in the stand-alone package.
The destination can be either an http(s) link to the
Notification Server computer or a folder path. For example,
you can store the NSE on a USB drive.
You can use environment variables when specifying the
destination.
For example, you can use the following command:
package_name.exe /SendInventoryTo
\\server_name\Inventory\%COMPUTERNAME%.
This command creates a separate folder for each computer
at \server_name\Inventory and stores the NSEs in that
folder. The folder is the same as the target computer s name.
