Different accountinfo behavior on Win11 builds

Wed, 20 May 2026 06:07:36 +0000

Hello,

I have a question regarding duplicate detection and archived devices in OCS Inventory.

Environment:

OCS Agent version: 2.4.0.0
OCS Server version: Unknown

Here is the situation:

A computer is archived from "All Computers".
Windows 11 is clean-installed.
The OCS agent is reinstalled on the same machine.

However, the behavior differs depending on the Windows build version.

For PCs with OS version "10.0.26200":

A completely new inventory entry is created in "All Computers".
Information such as last seen time, computer name, user, and operating system is newly generated.
User-defined account information (such as User, Department, Asset Number, TAG) is NOT inherited from the old archived record.

For PCs with OS version "10.0.26100":

The normal inventory information (last seen time, computer name, user, OS, etc.) does NOT inherit the previous data.
However, user-defined account information IS inherited from the old archived record.

I compared the hardware information, network information, and management data between the two systems, but I could not find any meaningful differences other than the Windows build version.

I found documentation related to:

"Managing duplicates computers"
"AUTO_DUPLICATE_LVL"

The documentation says that OCS can detect reinstalled or renamed computers automatically, and duplicate detection depends on matching values.

However, I am not sure whether this behavior is actually related to duplicate detection, because only the user-defined account information is inherited while the normal inventory information is not.

My questions are:

Could there be any known reason why this different behavior occurs depending on the Windows build version (10.0.26200 vs 10.0.26100)?
Is there any internal logic related to duplicate detection, archived devices, or accountinfo inheritance that could explain this behavior?
Could this behavior be related to hardware UUID, SID, registry values, or another identifier used internally by OCS Inventory?

Thank you.

Answered: Erreur installation paquet - kill Windows process

Thu, 07 May 2026 07:09:46 +0000

Ça ressemble effectivement à un souci lié au taskkill. Peut-être que le processus ne se ferme pas correctement avant le lancement du MSI. Tu peux essayer d’ajouter une petite pause après la commande taskkill, par exemple avec timeout /t 3, pour laisser le temps à Windows de terminer le processus complètement.

Tu peux aussi tester le script manuellement en mode administrateur pour voir si le code erreur apparaît encore. Certaines versions récentes de Windows ou du client OCS semblent être un peu plus strictes sur les droits et les processus actifs.

Answered: Prevent OcsService.exe file from disappearing

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:35:43 +0000

This has happened in the companies I manage.

The OCS Agent services simply disappear.

In this case, I created a BAT/CMD script that validates the existence of the service; if it doesn't exist, it creates it pointing to the file in its correct directory.

If the file doesn't exist, it reinstalls the OCS Agent.

If everything is OK, it simply forces an inventory, which doesn't cause any harm.

Answered: Plugins don't send data to Server

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 14:50:55 +0000

First, you need verify if a computer include data from plugins : execute manually the agent and check the xml file

Second, if inventory include plugins data, the date are loaded in SQL table, the check the table.

You try the second point, so try before the first point.

Hello,

I deleted the Saas.ps1 script, but the problem still persists.

The inventory takes about 40 minutes to be sent to the server, and sometimes the agent crashes.

Do you have any other ideas I can explore?

Of course reporting date was considered!

Answered: Unable to install the agent on Windows

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 22:31:22 +0000

I recently faced an issue while installing the OCS Inventory NG Agent on a Windows machine, where the agent would not register with the OCS Server. Despite following the standard installation process, the agent installation seemed to complete successfully, but the registration with the server was still not happening. Here's the installation log I received during the process:

The setup process initially checked the system and seemed to go fine—ensuring the system was compatible (Windows 2000 or higher), and that the user had the necessary administrative privileges. However, I ran into issues when the setup tried to assign read/write permissions on the directory C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent. The following errors were logged:

SetACL allowing Users / Power users read/write permissions...Result: error SetACL propagating inherited permissions...Result: error

These errors indicated that the agent had trouble setting the correct permissions, which could be why the agent wasn't registering. It also tried to stop services and kill processes related to OCS Inventory, but had no success in terminating some processes.

After installation, the agent did not start properly, and there was no successful registration of the OCS Inventory Service into the Windows Service Manager, which led me to believe there was an issue with the permissions or missing dependencies.

Here's what I did to resolve the issue:

Recheck Permissions: I manually ensured that the directory C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent had the correct read/write permissions for both Users and Power Users. I also ran the installer as Administrator.
Service Registration Issues: I noticed that the service registration failed in the log. To fix this, I manually registered the service by running the following command from the command prompt:
```
sc create "OCS Inventory Service" binPath= "C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\ocsinventory.exe" start= auto
```
Firewall Configuration: Even though the installer skipped configuring the firewall (as I was using a Windows version below Vista), I made sure to check the firewall settings and allow the necessary ports for OCS to communicate with the server.
Verify Installation: After manually fixing the permissions and services, I restarted the machine and confirmed that the agent registered properly with the OCS Server.

The Vultr documentation has been a huge help in understanding how to handle agent installations and permissions better on Windows. I highly recommend checking out the installation guide for MySQL on Ubuntu, as it has similar detailed steps for troubleshooting and making sure everything is configured correctly. It helped me better understand system services and configurations, and I applied some of the insights from that guide.

For anyone encountering similar issues, here's a helpful link to the Vultr MySQL installation guide on Ubuntu:
Install MySQL on Ubuntu 20.04 in Simple Steps

Hopefully, this approach works for anyone experiencing similar issues with OCS Inventory NG installation!

j'aimerais aussi que les OC soient affichés pour le dernier utilisateur comme auparavant avec la version 2.1.2 du serveur et l'agent 2.05. Nous nous débrouillons actuellement avec GLPI, qui est synchronisé avec OCS. Nous y voyons l'historique de connexion des utilisateurs.
Mais ce qui est bien avec le nouvel agent, c'est qu'aucun utilisateur n'est affiché si personne n'est connecté. Nous pouvons ainsi découvrir les ordinateurs sur lesquels nous pouvons par exemple faire des mises à jour manuelles par remotdesktop sans déranger un utilisateur.

Agents cannot be deployed on the network

Thu, 30 May 2024 11:42:09 +0000

Hey, I'm currently doing an internship and my job is to deploy ocs inventory on the network. My ocs 2.12.1 server is on debian 12. I've installed an agent 2.10.1.0 manually on a windows machine to check that everything was working, so far no problem. Now I'm getting down to the serious business of deploying my agent on the network using the agent deployment tool. I added psexec, putty and pscp in the options, then I added the range of ip addresses on which I want to deploy my agents (I don't use the active directory, because some computers on the network aren't connected to the domain), then I followed the official documentation for the rest as well as several different tutorials and here I am at the moment of deploying by pressing start and that's when the problems start.

Here are the 2 error messages I may encounter:

Host <172.16.142.10> *** ERROR *** Connecting remote host: The network path was not found.

Host <172.16.142.11> *** ERROR *** Remote host does not accept connections

I have all admin right, firewall was check thats not seem to be an issue. Im on this for 2 days actualy im stuck.

Hope my english was not too trash, have a nice day !

Server and Agent cant communicate HTTP 403

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 14:16:10 +0000

Hi everyone,

I am having an issue when sending the agent's info on the server. I get an http 403 error when trying to access to the http://myServerIp/ocsinventory.

When installing the agent and choosing the address, I am making sure it is in the correct way (aka http://myServerIp/ocsinventory)

However the server can't receive the agent's info.

The OcsReports panel seems to be installed proprely and correctly. I have fully access to http://myServerIp/ocsreports.

I put the correct database name, username and password in the configuration files.

After checking the agent's logs, i can see that there is an http error 403, http://myServerIP/ocsinventory access being forbidden.

I have tried searching on the internet but i haven't found any solution, and I have reinstalled a second time to server to make sure I installed the server correctly.

Here's a list of what ive tried :

- Updated my system

- Install php extensions and packages required by the server

- Install and enable perl modules

- Create a database

- Download, configurate the setup.sh (with correct db user and db password) and install

- Configurate (put the correct db name, db user and db password) and enable the 3 .conf files
- Change the ownership of the ocsinventory-reports directory to www-data user, and change the permission to 755

- And finally finishing the installation on http://MyServerIp/ocsreports, and delete the installer.

Please help

Thanks!

Remontée d'inventaire

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:53:32 +0000

Bonjour,

J'ai une petite question concernant la remontée d'inventaire d'OCS Inventory.
En effet, j'ai configuré mon serveur OCS qui est fonctionnel. J'ai donc effectué le déploiement de l'agent OCS Windows sur les postes de mon parc informatique.
Les machines remontent correctement sur le serveur mais lorsque les machines sont éteintes et redémarrées, l'inventaire ne se refait pas.
Il faut que je relance à la main l'agent avec la configuration qu'il faut.
Sauriez vous m'aider a ce sujet pour que je n'ai pas a devoir le refaire manuellement ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Script vérif conformité fonctionnement de l'agent?

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 14:05:25 +0000

Bonjour, je dois mettre en place un script powershell qui s'assure du bon fonctionnement de l'agent OCS. Ce script sera exécuté à partir d'Intune et indiquera la non-conformité de l'agent en fonction de deux axes de vérification.

État fonctionnel de l'agent (service windows)
État de la communication entre l'agent et le serveur OCS
Je tiens à mentionner que j'ignore volontairement pour l'instant l'erreur de communication "ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog <Couldn't resolve host name>" car notre serveur est seulement accessible par vpn pour ceux en télétravail.

Je conviens que ce script n'est probablement pas parfait, et j'aimerais avoir vos commentaires et suggestions pour l'améliorer. Cordialement,

No TAG en ocs

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 11:37:53 +0000

Buenas tardes, tengo un problema con los TAG, estoy montando equipos con Windows 11 y agente de ocs 2.10.1 y aunque les especifico el tag no lo carga en el ocs, sin embargo los equipos con windows 10 no hay problema y hay otros windows 11 (vienen de ser actualizados desde w10) que tampoco tienen problema.

Alguien sabe de que puede ser?

OCS Agent Plugin doesn't send results to server

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 13:23:57 +0000

The short version:

The OCS Inventory Agent equipped with a plugin (C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\Plugins) to scan for java installations only sends the plugin result from time to time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out a pattern.

The more detailed version:

We are currently trying to scan for Java installations on our clients that use windows and linux.

In order to do that we created an OCS Inventory Agent extension that is a powershell script for windows and a shell script for linux.

The scan results are written into the SOFTWARES table of the ocs inventory database.

The Agent Plugins seem to work in general. But here is my problem:

The majority of our agents do scan with the help of the plugins and send an inventory to the server. But it's not working continously. Meaning that on Monday the agent scans and sends the result to the server. On Tuesday the agent scans again and sends the general inventory, but lacking the result of the plugin.

We use OCS Inventory Server 2.12.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 and OCS Inventory Agents with various versions ranging from 2.6.0.0 to 2.10.1.0.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Users software inventory

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:30:50 +0000

Hi,

I'm facing a trouble with the software inventory.
Looking for a software on a computer, i have realised that it wasn't in the inventory.
I checked on the computer, checked in the "Add/Remove Programs" (old and new versions) : the program is well installed, works, and is listed in both Add/Remove Programs interfaces.
But ... not in the list for this computer in OCS Server ...
The only reason I have found is : it wasn't installed for "all the users", but only for current user.
I checked with another software .:
All what is in : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ doesn't appear in the software list in OCS Inventory.

Is there any way to be sure that ALL the softwares will be inventoried ?
Is there a setting to include them ?
Is there an add-on for that ?

It is a real trouble, because i can't rely on a software which can hide me a part of the softwares installed on our computers.
Best regards

j'ai une erreur EXIT_CODE_1

Bonjour,

J'ai fait plusieurs essais de déploiement

- si je déploie un paquet pour le stocker dans un fichier d'un ordinateur client =>je n'ai pas de problème.

- si je déploie un paquet avec un fichier .exe et que j'essaie de l'executer => j'ai un retour EXIT_CODE_1

voici ce que j'ai dans le fichier log:

Par contre le fichier "Testocs.exe" n'est pas exécuté

J'ai fait l'essai en arrétant l'antivirus et j'ai le même problème.

Auriez vous une idée merci

Pour information:

Je retrouve mon executable dans le gestionnaire des taches, commeci il etait bien lancé, mais il ne se passe rien.

ocs-agent conections to server

Hello,

i noticed that a client connects to the server when the network adapter changes...

AGENT => Inventory change forced by /NOTIFY option

AGENT => Launching hardware and software checks

AGENT => Sending Inventory

INVENTORY => Network adapters inventory state changed

is there a possibility to suppress this behavior ?

thank you

can we detect if agent is uninstalled from device?

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 08:39:30 +0000

Hi
My use case is that I am willing to detect if any of the end-point user uninstall the agent intentionally. I am unable to find any plugin as of now.

I can't get some information about the motherboard

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 14:22:10 +0000

I have installed the agent for Windows "OCS Inventory NG Agent 2.10.1.0. This is information from agent: smodel and mmodel filled "To be filled by O.E.M."

But I also got information from WMI from cammand promt, and WMI gives more complete information: model product is present her.

What needs to be done for OСS Inventory to correctly recognize the motherboard ?

Hi,

from quite a long time now some of my inventoried PCs are not updating their inventories, although they are successfully conecting to server:

All of them are getting stuck on IpDiscover, log looks like this:

Any idea what may cause this issue?

Thanks for any help.

Help with getting Agent talking to new server

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 21:03:57 +0000

I have a new installation running on RHEL 8. Server version is 2.12, installed via RPM. Agent version is 2.10.1. The ocsreports site is up and running with SSL enabled. My only issue is getting the agent talking to the server. Debug log on the client machine looks like this:

COM SERVER => Sending fileGet request to URL <http://server_IP_Address/ocsinventory/deploy/label>

COM SERVER => fileGet response received <HTTP Status Code #400>

COM SERVER => Cleaning cURL library

AGENT => Failed to retrieve Label <HTTP Status Code #400>

AGENT => Sending Prolog

DID_CHECK => Read DeviceID <client_machine-2023-09-22-16-31-23> and MACs <xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx> in file <ocsinventory.dat>

COM SERVER => Disabling cURL SSL server validation support

COM SERVER => Sending HTTP Post request to URL <http://server_IP_Address/ocsinventory>

COM SERVER => HTTP Post response received <HTTP Status Code #400>

Most issues with HTTP Status Code #400 are due to the Agent version being higher than the server version. This is not the case here.

Deploy Software (exe) on Windows

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 10:27:56 +0000

Hello,

I have deployed OCS Inventory Server on Linux (version 2.11.1) and I have installed the agent (default .ini configuration) and I have verified that the server correctly receives the client information.

Once this was done, I tried to deploy an .exe (Notepad++) on the client (Windows Server) but it didn't deploy it, I tried putting the .exe in a zip and it didn't either.

Do I have to configure anything further on the server or in the OCS Inventory Windows Agent .ini file?

Thank you so much.

Collect geolocation

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:26:39 +0000

Dear members,

Greetings from Brazil!

I need collect location of 300 laptops that we have in our company, that work remotely by default.

We have employers working remotely in Brazil and 5 more countries.

If possible collect city, state and country, its can help us a lot.

If possible collect latitude and longitude, its so better!

Into GLPI, i found that localization static resource:

I have 3 questions:

1) Could be possible collect location through OCS ?
2) Could be possible collect location dynamically, i.e., when remote employer move to other city/country, inventory collect a new location?
3) The better tool for collect would be GLPI or OCS inventory?

Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:50:40 +0000

Hello everyone

I have a problem because the first machine where I install the agent gives me errors apparently with the certificate:

AGENT => Sending Prolog
DID_CHECK => Read DeviceID and MACs in file
COM SERVER => Initializing cURL library for sendRequest
COM SERVER => Using cURL without server authentication
COM SERVER => Disabling cURL proxy support
COM SERVER => Enabling cURL SSL server validation support using CA Bundle
COM SERVER => Sending HTTP Post request to URL
WARNING *** COM SERVER => Failed to send HTTP Post request
COM SERVER => Cleaning cURL library
ERROR *** AGENT => Failed to send Prolog

I have no idea about these things, so I'm not very clear where I went wrong, but from what I see in the log I should find in the folder "C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent" the famous "cacert.pem ». Where can you get that certificate? Is it generated on the server and put on the client, or is it generated on the client? All of this probably has obvious answers, but as I told you, I have no knowledge about servers, certificates and these things, and I basically limited myself to following tutorials. I have to say that the server apparently seems to be running correctly (I can log in to their website without problems), but as the error says, it does not record clients data (everything appears as 0)

It seems strange to me because a couple of years ago I had installed this without problems and everything seemed to apparently work correctly, but in the end I didn't get to use it, I deleted the PC used as a server (Ubuntu 20.04)

Déploiement application .msi

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 09:36:41 +0000

Bonjour,
J'essaie de déployer une application (PuTTY) sur mon serveur Linux via l'interface OCS Inventory. Je crée mon paquet, je lance le processus et j'ai bien le paquet qui arrive. Hors il ne s'exécute pas et mon application n'est pas créée. Je pense que c'est dû aux arguments que je mets dans la création du paquet et je ne sais pas quel argument je dois mettre pour que quand le paquet arrive il s'installe.

Merci d'avance

Problem in building OCS Windows Agent

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 12:14:10 +0000

Hello, I am trying to compile OCS Windows Agent on my Windows 10 Pro Machine. I have did it earlier once but now I need to move setup to a new machine. Apparently, I have followed all the steps including building dependencies, building all projects for x64 release with no error or so. After making exe by NSIS, I test run the agent, but I see non-recognizable characters in installation logs. After that, the service does not start automatically, and I get 1062 error. I do not know what could be the reason even if the compilation was successful. I will appreciate any response from you. For your reference, below are installation logs:
