Enable Asset Intelligence Inventory Reporting Classes
To enable the Asset
Intelligence Inventory reporting classes, right-click the Asset Intelligence node and
then click Edit Inventory Classes. You can enable the Asset Intelligence reporting
classes that you need per the type of reporting that you require. Note that from within
the Edit Inventory Classes dialog box, as you point to each reporting class, a tooltip
displays information about the reports that depend on each reporting class.
■
Enable Windows Event Log Settings
Several Asset Intelligence reports rely on
information that Windows security event logs gather on client computers. To support
these reports, you must modify the event-log settings for Windows security on clients
so that it logs all Success logon events. These reports include:
■
Hardware 03A - Primary computer users
■
Hardware 03B - Computers for a specific primary console user
■
Hardware 04A - Computers with multiple users (shared)
■
Hardware 05A - Console users on a specific computer
■
Import Software License Information
Use the Import Software Licenses Wizard
to import Microsoft Volume License Statements and General License Statements from
non-Microsoft vendors into the Asset Intelligence catalog.
■
Install An Asset Intelligence Synchronization Point
The site system role for the
Asset Intelligence synchronization point connects to System Center Online to down-
load and synchronize Asset Intelligence catalog information. You must install this role
on a site system in the central administration site for hierarchy configurations. This
requires Internet access using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 443. You can
configure a synchronization schedule, which by default is set to run every seven days.
■
Configure Asset Intelligence Maintenance Tasks
By default, the Asset Intelligence
feature uses two maintenance tasks:
■
Check Application Title With Inventory Information
This task reconciles the
software title in the software inventory reports with the software title in the Asset
Intelligence catalog.
■
Summarize Installed Software Data
This task provides information that displays
in the Inventoried Software node. This task is available only on primary sites.
■
Configure Asset Intelligence Security
You can use the Asset Manager Security role
to provide the required permissions to manage the Asset Intelligence synchronization
point and to modify the Asset Intelligence reporting classes and permissions related to
software inventory, hardware inventory, and software metering.
