i hate to interrupt the Final Fantasy argument, but i think this thread is getting rediculously off track

I’d think, you could poll the database based on the Host to Group associations and make the entry in the inventory report yourself.

How to do so is not that hard either, though with 0.29 I don’t know how easy it would be to do.

Ok. Well, it’s summertime here (which is when I actually use FOG the most) so it might get moved to an end of summer - after imaging or a middle of winter project. Thanks for the info.

Fog polls the computer for DMI information, including the Asset Tag info from the BIOS during registration, but after the host has been named. You probably just need to update the fog scripts inside the init.gz (/tftpboot/fog/images/init.gz) to update the database with the asset tag as the host name at the end of registration and before the machine is imaged.

This sounds like a possible plug-in/add-on idea.
