Package never moves from Waiting Notification.

Question

Hello,

I have created a couple packages and finally have figured out how to push them out, but they do not push automatically. They will stay at "waiting notification". I have the CACert in the correct directory (prog~data) and the package will push if I start the OCS Inventory NG Agent by right clicking on the systray icon. This obviously will not work in the real world, as getting users to right click on that is not likely.

Agent is 2.3.1.1

Attached is the ocsinventory.ini

Halp pls

Answer 1

Hi,

CaBundle=c:\cacert.pem <= you have added "c:\" before cacert.pem. This can't run because the certificate is stored in c:\programdata\ocs inventory ng\agent. To remove "c:\" from CaBundle definition you have to stop ocs service, modify CaBundle definition, save and restart ocs service. Finally relaunch an inventory.

Answer 2

@Frank--

That did not work. I changed my cacert path to the correct path (c:\programdata\ocs inventoryng\agent\cacert,pem) and it is still at waiting notification

Should also state that I did a reboot after saving.

Answer 3

by default the prolog period is set to 24h. Use /now option to run immediatly an inventory or wait the next inventory.

Answer 4

how would one use the /now? prolog_freq=/now?

Does that work on a reboot? How often is "now"?

Answer 5

/force and not /now is an option used in command line. Open a dos terminal. Run this command : c:\program files (x86)\ocs inventory ng\agent\ocsinventory.exe /force

See the wiki here to have the options of ocsinventory.exe => http://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/index.php?title=Documentation:WindowsAgent#OCS_Inventory_NG_Agent_for_Windows_command_line_options.
