Scripting

The solution in the article that you mentioned seems correct.
You only need to debug it.
The idea is to run something on the machines using a scripting engine that calculates the size of the folder and writes it in text file.
Then a custom inventory rule grab that value and stores it in a custom field.
1-Is the script running for real on the target devices?
2-Is the file that the script should create really created?
3-If yes what does it contain?

Now you need to look at the Custom Inventory Rule

4-is the command right? have you added quotes to the command? (if yes remove them)
5-Have you marked in the customer inventory rule definition all the Supported Operating Systems where the rule should work?

Kind regards,

Hmm, my guess of where it goes wrong is probably step 1 or 2. Gonna take a closer look on the server itself on Monday. Would it be possible if something is blocked on the network that prevents the script from executing even though all other functions and reports run fine? Thanks for the reply. - boehoe 8 years ago
