Kace - Create Dell Warranty Report
I'm new to Kace and trying to figure out how to get a report for my Dell equipment's warranty expiration sorted by the expiration date and showing the computers name, service tag, and expiration. I have tried to modify the Dell Warranty reports that came loaded with Kace but it’s not working, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a few versions for you.
The first does what you asked for (with a few more columns I find useful in my own environment).
The second one is sorted and grouped by machine name, which is useful when a machine has more than 1 warranty tagged to it (fairly common in my environment).
The third one only pulls warranties for systems in the "server" label group (an LDAP label I have setup, but you could use any type). Just change the next to the last line from "%server%" to whatever machine label you want to target and it should work (thanks to dchristian for the JOIN statements targetting a label in that one - the built-in report's statements for doing the same thing weren't working well for me in this report, probably due to my own MySQL ignorance).
To create any of these, go to Reporting > Reports > Choose Action > Add New SQL Report and populate it with this info and then hit Save.
Hope that helps!

I tried running the third option and it timed out and locked up my KBOX. Any ideas? - sburkey2 12 years ago

Ditto here, the first two reports run OK, but the third keeps running (I'm using MySQL Workbench to test) and I have to abort. I modified the query to look for 'L.NAME LIKE '%IST-Computers%' . IST-Computers is a Label which I have manually applied to a specific group of computers in our default KBOX organization.
What else can I check to see what is happening?

Make sure you have a label named "server" that targets your servers (second to the last line of SQL code), or change it to a label you already are using:
AND L.NAME LIKE '%your server label here%'
That's probably what's locking things up.

Great , thanks you - sandeeprai 11 years ago

I use pretty much the same report with a few modifications. I found that ordering by DW.END_DATE I can add it to my custom spreadsheet I send to the customers easier. I would be curious to know if I could upload my custom spreadsheet into K1000 so that when I pull these reports it already comes on this spreadsheet. Thoughts?

Can anyone point out to me what could have gone wrong? Thank you. - Pava 10 years ago
