inventory registered machines via the pxe menu

@ITSolutions does a quick inventory pull hardware information? I thought it didn’t?

[falko]

@Wayne-Workman It does

[Wayne Workman]

@falko cool.

[falko]

@ITSolutions I have just enabled that thanks

[ITSolutions]

@Wayne-Workman It always has for me, thta is how I reg all of my machines now. Quick Reg is the default for unreg hosts and then once it is in the DB I can search them and set image, snapins, name, etc

[falko]

@ITSolutions @Wayne-Workman same, I use to register all hosts with quick reg

Make sure it isn’t set as the default for Reg Host or you will end up in a boot loop of quick reg.

I wouldn’t know, our name nomenclature includes room number and asset tag number so at work we always do a full registration.

@Wayne-Workman Ours uses the service tag, so quick reg is nice, I can copy and paste the service tag from the web gui as opposed to manually typing it. Dell isn’t bad but everyone else has like a 16 char confusing service code. One of these days I will see about making it auto fill the service tag tot he name.

@ITSolutions there’s been work in this area already, recently. Maybe a few weeks ago a person scripted a custom name for registration. Can’t remember the thread name though.

@Wayne-Workman Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I will look around to see if I can find it
