<div>Software Inventory Logging collects Microsoft software inventory data on a per server basis. Before using Software Inventory Logging with Windows Server 2012 R2, make sure that Windows Update KB 3000850 and KB 3060681 are installed on each system that will be inventoried. No Windows Update is required for Windows Server 2016. Also, if you want to use SIL's capability to forward data to an aggregation server, be sure you have SSL certificates valid for your network.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>download ocs inventory ng server for windows</div><div></div><div>Download: https://t.co/ca2zC9QmHt </div><div></div><div></div><div>Software Inventory Logging in Windows Server is a feature with a simple set of PowerShell cmdlets that help server administrators retrieve a list of the Microsoft software that is installed on their servers. It also provides the capability to collect and forward this data periodically over the network to a target web server, using the HTTPS protocol, for aggregation. Managing the feature, primarily for hourly collection and forwarding, is also done with PowerShell commands.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Software Inventory Logging is intended to reduce the operational costs of retrieving accurate information regarding the Microsoft software deployed locally on a server, but especially across many servers in an IT environment (assuming it is deployed and enabled across the IT environment). The ability to forward this data to an aggregation server (if set up separately by an IT administrator), allows the data to be collected in one place by a uniform, automatic process. While this can also be achieved by querying the interfaces directly, Software Inventory Logging, by employing a forwarding (over the network) architecture initiated by each server, can overcome machine discovery challenges typical for many software inventory and asset management scenarios. SSL is used to secure data forwarded over HTTPS to an administrator's aggregation server. Having the data in one place (on one server) makes the data easier to analyze, manipulate and report on. It is important to note that none of this data is sent to Microsoft as part of the feature functionality. Software Inventory Logging data and functionality is meant for the sole use of the server software's licensed owner and administrators.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Aggregating software and server inventory information for a wide variety of software asset management scenarios by enabling each server's Software Inventory Logging feature and choosing a web server target URI, and certificate thumbprint for authentication.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This document describes how to manage the Software Inventory Logging feature introduced in Windows Server 2012 R2 that helps datacenter administrators easily log Microsoft software asset management data for their deployments over time. Before using Software Inventory Logging on Windows Server 2012 R2, make sure that Windows Update KB 3000850 and KB 3060681 are installed on each Windows Server 2012 R2 system that will be inventoried. This feature runs locally on each server to be inventoried. It does not collect data from remote servers.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Trust boundary challenges and the need for elevated user privileges typical of many inventory tools can be overcome while maintaining a level of security, since the data is encrypted over HTTPS with SSL.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>It is best to complete these steps before using Start-SilLogging. If you want to use them after using Start-SilLogging, you simply need to stop and start SIL again. Or, you can use the Publish-SilData Cmdlet to ensure the aggregation server has a full complement of the data for this server.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If Software Inventory Logging was started by an administrator, hourly collection and forwarding of the data to the aggregation server (target URI) commences. The first forward will be a complete data set of the same data that Get-SilData retrieves and displays on the console at a point in time. Thereafter, at each interval, SIL will make a check of the data and only forward a small identifying acknowledgment to the target aggregation server if there is no change in the data since the last collection. If any value has changed, SIL will again send a complete data set.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If at any interval the target URI is unreachable or the data transfer over the network is unsuccessful for any reason, data collected will be stored locally for up to a default value of 30 days (after which time it will be deleted). On the next successful forward of data to the target aggregation server, all data stored locally will be forwarded and local cached data will be deleted.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Software Inventory Logging will temporarily store hourly collections of data if forwards over the network are failing. The log files are stored in the \Windows\System32\LogFiles\SIL\ directory. Backups of this Software Inventory Logging data can be made with your regularly scheduled server backups.</div><div></div><div></div><div>When using Software Inventory Logging on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host, it is possible to retrieve SIL data from Windows Server 2012 R2 guests that are running locally, if SIL logging has been started in the guest(s). However, this is only possible when using the Get-SilData and Publish-SilData Powershell cmdlets, and only possible with Windows Server 2012 R2 in both host and guest. The purpose of this capability is to allow data center administrators that provide guest VMs to tenants, or other entities of a large corporation, to capture software inventory data at the hypervisor host and subsequently forward all of this data to an aggregator (or target URI).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Snow supports Windows Server versions and editions that have not reached end of mainstream support nor retirement.

Is there any way to inventory the drive so that I can tell how many folders are on the drive. I also want to know if there are duplicate files on the drive. I know of one person's folder who has our company logo saved in 17 different sub folders, the exact same logo! I have been tasked with removing excess files and cleaning up the drive to make it manageable. I do not want to go into each individuals folders and look at them. Any help would be appreciated.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I can't even get it to find cmd.exe after creating the rule and running an inventory with WATO.
