Customize Agent Check-in Time
Our agent check-in time is set to daily. We have over 7000 computers so that is fine. After we newly image and rename a system or 40 systems we would llike the agent to check in hourly until it has everything loaded or for at at least the first 48 hours then have them use the set time of daily checkin.
I think I can use the date created field but if someone has a query out there it would be very helpful.

Smart Label:
select *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(now())-UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_TIME, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(MACHINE.LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_SECONDS from ORG1.MACHINE LEFT JOIN KBSYS.KUID_ORGANIZATION ON KUID_ORGANIZATION.KUID = MACHINE.KUID LEFT JOIN KBSYS.SMMP_CONNECTION ON SMMP_CONNECTION.KUID = MACHINE.KUID AND KUID_ORGANIZATION.ORGANIZATION_ID = 1 where ((DATEDIFF(NOW(),OS_INSTALLED_DATE) <= 2))
You could also create a windows task that calls C:\Program Files\KACE\KBOX\kboxclient.exe every hour. This will make the box check in with the server. Delete the task with a kace push when you are satistfied the boxes have checked in enough.

Note that with the 5.3 Windows agent, the appropriate command to update inventory is:
"%PROGRAMFILES%"\Dell\KACE\runkbot.exe 4 0
The appropriate command to act on any pending MIs or FSs is:
"%PROGRAMFILES%"\Dell\KACE\runkbot.exe 6 0 - mdri 12 years ago -
Thanks for the info on the task that actually does the job, I have just called that in the past and it has worked so I never dug into what it was doing in it process's - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago
