Step 1- Preparing for Inventorying Unconnected Devices

Before you can collect data from devices never connected to your organization's network, you must prepare a USB key, via which the data collection is executed and which will transport the data to any other device of the network. For this, you need a USB key on which the tool provided by BMC Client Management - Inventory is installed. You can find it in the downloaded installation archive in the form of a .zip file under the directory tools/UnconnectedDevices .

  1. Go to directory tools/UnconnectedDevices of the downloaded installation archive.
  2. You will find one .zip file per operating system, that is, one for Mac OS, and one each for 32 and 64 bit Windows and 32 and 64-bit Linux. Select the zip file matching the operating system of the unconnected device.
  3. Copy the file to the USB key and extract it in its directory.
  4. You can put more than one version of the tool on your key, because you can collect the data of more than one unconnected device on a key. The number is only limited by the size of the key.
