OCS does not update last inventory

Hello together,

If I select in the web interface under Configuration and then under General configuration the Frequency to "always inventoried" OCS should update the "last inventory" for all computers/devices or ? I ask because on some computers/devices it updates to the day and on some it shows me last inventory from over a year ago or any other data. Does anyone have an idea what to do about this ? 

Thanks a lot for your support. 

Greetings

in general the last contact and the last inventory often have the same time and date depending on you settings.

It can happen that the clients only reports the inventory once a day but connecting every hour. Something like that..

But when the last contact was over a year ago .. you have to check the client computer.

Look for logfiles under

C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent

see here for debug level (set Debug=2)

if you did not find the answer in normal logfiles

there is a difference between "last contact" and last inventory

Kind regards

Hello, The computers/devices whose last inventory is a year or more ago have the same date also for last contact. This means that last inventory and last contact have the same date. Any idea what to do ? Thanks for your support.

I'm sorry to reopen this old thread, but i have exactly the same problem, and can't undestand what's going on on some clients.

Could be some windows setting? I tryed disabling firewall, but nothing change.

If i manually reinstall the client, everything works, but sometimes it stops again

Here on client's log which don't update from january 2023
