Updating a computer's inventory

If you have made changes to a computer, for example installing a new network card or the latest service pack, you need to update the computer's inventory. Although the inventory can be updated automatically as a scheduled task, you can update a computer's inventory whenever it is required.

To update a computer's inventory

From the left-hand pane, expand Computers and choose All Computers.
From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu choose Tasks, Update Inventory. The inventory is updated as a background task.

Notes

Update Inventory is also available by selecting the computer and from the Tasks menu choosing Computers, Update Inventory.
You can use the same process to update the inventories of multiple computers. First select all of the computers that you wish to update.
You can also update the inventories of all computers in a particular location. Refer to Locations Help for more information.
