OCS Inventory AG Agent dumping inventary-informations through command line

Question

Hello,

if I click the tray icon and click show inventory-information that works and that's good so far. I'd like however a commannd line / parameter switch to write these informations into a file but can't find anything. How to do this?

Edit: Ok, OCSInventory.exe /local="C:\" works but it creates a .ocs file. If I try OCSInventory.exe /xml="C:\" no file is generated. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Thanks for the info :)

Hello again,

now I have the problem that after I downloaded https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/WindowsAgent/releases/download/2.1.1.3/OCSNG-Windows-Agent-2.1.1.3.zip (basically same required .zip but the version is different) from https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/WindowsAgent/releases, the installed folder is empty :\

Same with 2.3.0.0 which worked when I installed in for the first time, so the downloaded installers can't be the reason really. I can't find any running processes either which might block the setup somehow?

Somehow the seup pricess deletes the installed folder when it finishes the setup at the end and the files disapear.

Alright, I solved the extracting by using 7zip to extract the OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe.

Thanks MiB, when I only use /xml=. no .xml file is created, but when I use /xml=. /local=. or /xml=c:\ /local=c:\, it both works and the .xml and .ocs files are created within 15 seconds :) So it seems both parameters are required and v2.3.0.0 work too.

I still have a problem with the setup not working anymore (I uninstalled v2.3.0.0 through windows programs uninstaller) and I have to use 7zip to extract the contents, but that would be a different question.
