Configure Hardware Inventory Collect Tasks to Collect DCS Inventory

To schedule the FDCC checklist scan and collect the test results, configure a hardware inventory collect task.

Note: If you have multiple hardware inventory collect tasks, decide whether you want to schedule the checklist scan on all of them or only on a selected few. For example, if you have grouped all your Windows Vista computers and created a specific collect task for the group, you can configure the collect task for WinVista, VistaFirewall, and IE7 checklists. However, even if you configure the checklists on all computers, the scanner will scan only those computers that meet the OS requirement.

To configure the hardware inventory collect task

1. In the DSM Explorer, navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Collect Tasks, Hardware Inventory.

   The existing hardware inventory collect tasks appear.

2. Right-click the collect task that you want to configure and select Properties.

   The Properties for Collect Task Name dialog appears.

3. Click the Detection Modules tab, select the DCS inventory detection modules, and click OK.

   The changes are saved. When the collect task runs next time, it will collect the scan results for the configured checklists.
