SYMPTOMS
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to force a client to report its full inventory. This is usually accomplished by manually running either
invdos /f
-or-
invwin32 /f
from the logon server. This may result in the creation of client resynchronizations (resyncs) which can increase the processing overhead for Dataloader when used in large client environments.
A new command line switch has been added which allows an immediate and full inventory scan without generating a client resync. The new switch is /x.
For example, for non-Windows NT clients (Windows 95, Windows 3.11, and so forth), use the command:
invdos /x
For Windows NT clients, use the command:
invwin32 /x
STATUS
