=known bugs=
 +
There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!
 +
==ipdiscover bug==
 +
===ipdiscover on SME===
 +
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.
    +
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
 +
 +
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!
 +
===ipdiscover-util.pl===
 +
This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.
 +
 +
First thing to do is to change the password in this file...
 +
...
 +
my $dbhost = 'localhost';
 +
my $dbuser = 'ocs';
 +
my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; <==
 +
my $db = 'ocsweb';
 +
my $dbp = '3306';
 +
The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.
 +
 +
Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

Thanks for cleaning this up!
+
==www/ocs/install.php bugs==
 +
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.
   −
Your comments are on my todo's list ;-)
+
I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
   −
Can you confirm that ipdiscover works on your install?
+
I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!
   −
As I used 3 PCs to get ipdiscover info, I didn't test only with SME enabled.
+
So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!
   −
Try the following:

Help needed!
ipdiscover eth0 10
  −
{{Note box|''Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]''}}
  −

Here's what I got on my server:
  −
<IPDISCOVER>
  −
<H><I>192.168.0.100</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>
  −
<H><I>192.168.0.253</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>
  −
<H><I>192.168.0.254</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00254.mydomain.com</N></H>
  −
</IPDISCOVER>
  −
Sounds like it's working for me...

ipdiscover looks to be working here also, maybe it was operator error ?

Draft steps for deployment
+
=wiki page=
 +
 
   −
SSL Certificates
  −
Installed a SSL certificate eg. http://wiki.contribs.org/Custom_CA_Certificate
     −
below fixes the ssl errors as per http://alufis35.uv.es/OCS-Inventory-Package-Deployment.html
+
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
   −
this is common, it could be automated, but should we be trusted, probably not ?
+
there must be a lot of ways this could be used,  
wget http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt
+
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
cp root.crt /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/cacert.pem
  −
add to httpd.conf
  −
SSLCACertificateFile /home/e-smith/ssl.crt/cacert.pem
     −
copy cacert.pem to the client ocs folder
+
this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
  −
  −
deploying => Activate => activate package
  −
complains that the directory and info files don't exist,
  −
I think we should just ignore the activate error, the files are visible from clients
  −
 
  −
deployed a file, optional, run a client update and it is now aware of the update
     −
in => Package activation
+
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
when you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later
  −
ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194356189
      +
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough

Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
 +
 +
I don't like to install a service when it's not needed, so I use the standalone executable. I also don't use OCS deployment feature (I'm using GPOs for that)
 +
 +
It is so fast to use against the need of installing the Agent: put OcsLogon.exe in a share folder and simply launch it with a one command line batch script each time a session is opened.
 +
@echo off
 +
\\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
 +
That's all!
 +
 +
Of course, more can be done...
 +
 +
*Install the Agent silently in a script
 +
*Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
 +
*Create your own ''ocsagent.exe''
 +
People need to read the guide! It's well documented.
 +
 +
If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!
