FOG Inventory Report Issue

I’m not sure if this has already been or is being addressed, but when I go to Report Management and click on Inventory it looks like it’s only showing me computers that I have recently registered instead of every computer registered. I have rebuilt my FOG server a few weeks ago but I did make sure to export the old inventory list and import it back.

The host ID’s are all the same too?

@Tom-Elliott
Yes, apologies for the late reply.

[Wayne Workman]

@jquilli1 Can you update to the latest and re-check?

[jquilli1]

@Wayne-Workman
Updated and still the same issue.

[Tom Elliott]

@jquilli1 How do you know all the host ID’s were the same? Meaning how did you bring the hosts in, vs. how you brought the inventory records in?

[jquilli1]

@Tom-Elliott
I’m assuming they are the same. Sorry I should have said that. What I did was export the host list, rebuild the server, and then imported the host list. When I go take an inventory it only shows new clients that I’ve added.

[Tom Elliott]

@jquilli1 That’s because the inventory list is not associated with the same hosts any more.

We don’t export hosts with their originating ID’s as reimporting them to a new server could steal other Host’s id’s.

I’d venture to say a simple solution would be to just schedule the systems that don’t have inventory data to perform an inventory task.
