Table 5-2
Setting
Send inventory data to:
Gathering inventory using stand-alone packages
Stand-alone inventory package options page
Description
This option lets you configure where the inventory data is
stored after it is gathered.
You can choose from the following options.
Notification Server URL
If target computers can communicate with the
Notification Server computer using HTTP (port 80 open)
or HTTPS (port 443 open), you can use this option. When
the package is run, the inventory data is automatically
sent to the Notification Server computer.
The URL that is used is displayed on the page.
Folder
You can store the data on the local computer, on a share,
or on the Notification Server computer. When the
package is run, the inventory data is automatically saved
on that share. Inventory data files are stored with an
NSE extension.
If target computers can access a shared folder on the
Notification Server computer, you can store it directly
to a share on the server.
The Notification Server computer share to use with this
option is:
\\notification_server_name\NSCap\EvtInbox
If the target computer cannot access the Notification
Server computer, you can store the inventory data on
the local computer. You can also store it on another
computer that is not the Notification Server computer.
You must then manually copy the files to the Notification
Server computer.
You may have to use this option for the following
situations:
Computers that are not regularly attached to the
network
Computers that are outside the intranet that the
Notification Server computer is on.
You can specify a share or a path on the local computer.
If you specify a local path, that folder is created on each
target computer. For example, C:\Inventory_Data
Inventory data files are stored with an NSE extension.
You can also use environment variables when specifying
the path to folder. For example:
\\IntermediateShare\%computername%
63
