Plugins doesn't work

Question

Hi, i am beginner to use OCS Inventory. My problem is, i able to install and enable the OCS plugins. But seem the plugin not run automatically. My question is, the plugin should be run automatic without need run ps1 script right?

Answer 1

Hello,

For a plugin to function and report information, a VBS or PS1 script must be copied to the inventoried machine (for example, to the folder C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\Plugins\).

Similarly, the server-side component of the plugin must also be installed.

My company has developed more than 90 exclusive plugins for OCS (predictive maintenance, advanced Bios informations, supervision, helpdesk & IT support, status summary, multiple SNMP device type, geolocation of Windows machines, AD and local users, etc.)

If you want more information, please contact me privately.

Best regards, Stephane

Answer 2

Hello Stephane, would it be possible for your company to publish the plugins? Others would certainly benefit from this, just as you benefit from OCS Inventory as open source software.

Answer 3

Hi Sokatra,

Let's be reasonable... I dedicated several years tirelessly to the OCS community, during which time I developed, shared, and upgraded most of current Windows community plugins. I'm still a moderator on this Ask forum, where I've helped hundreds of people.

Since then, I've started my own company and I continue to develop as an expert, but now exclusively for my partners and clients.

Moreover, by design, my 90 Windows plugins for OCS can also be used for other inventory software, giving them a universal property.

In this great project that is OCS, some elements are free, others are paid, even in the field of open source (contributing to the costs of study and development)... that's normal.

That being said, I’m always open to collaborating with companies or contributors who are interested in my work.

If your organization needs specific and exclusive plugins or features, or would like to benefit from the developments I maintain, feel free to contact me — I’d be happy to discuss possible options, including commercial licensing or tailored development work.

Answer 4

Hello Stephane,

I have copied VBS / PS1 script to Plugins directory at client side. I also installed plugin at server side. But seems the info not automatically update in the OCS portal. When I run the script manually, it will update at the portal side. Is it normal?

Answer 5

What plugins (and therefore scripts) do you use ?

Can you specify "When I run the script manually" ?

Running the agent with the administrator account does not have the same privileges as with the system account (automatic mode): It all depends on the content of your scripts.

The administrator account allows testing, but only the system account is necessary in automatic mode >> You can use PsExec for testing
