Offline Inventory
“Context -
We had many systems that were what we called air-gapped. No network basically. This process provided a means to get them into inventory.”
Summary
This process is designed to assist with performing an inventory of an offline / static system which typically has no external method of communication.
Requirements
This will only work with a Current OS (XP / 2003 and lower will fail).
XP / 2003 requires an install of the agent (ver 10.x) . Run the same command line referenced below
c:\program files (x86)\landesk\ldclient\Ldiscn32.exe /l- /o=<Path>\%ComputerName%.txt /f /i=LdAppl3.ini /sync /noui
You can uninstall the agent after the fact if your concerned about resources being consumed.
USB device to transport the source files / inventory.
Process
Copy the inventory scanner utility, a software description file (usually LdAppl3.ini), and the following files to a thumb drive or other accessible location: ldiscn32.exe, elogapi.dll, loc32vc0.dll, and processrunner.dll.
Open an Elevated CMD prompt. Navigate to the Source folder where you copied the files above.
Execute the following syntax - Ldiscn32.exe /l- /o=<Path>\%ComputerName%.txt /f /i=LdAppl3.ini /sync /noui
You can open Task Manager and check to verify the scanner launched.
When it has completed, retrieve the TXT file that's been generated and submit it for import.
Thats it, your done!
