=Client Installation=
 +
 +
The client side is available [http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/index.php?page=1-01 on all platforms]. Download the latest client version according to your OS.
 +
 +
After installing the Agent, you should launch it manually to upload your first inventory (as it's updated once per day by default)
 +
 +
While you are installing the agent, copy the cacert.pem file, see the SSL section below.
 +
 +
==OCS Agent for SME Server==
 +
 +
If you want to inventory other SME Servers (without installing the server-side and web interfaces)
 +
 +
yum install ocsinventory-agent ocsinventory-ipdiscover --enablerepo=smetest,epel
 +
 +
Then edit ''/etc/ocsinventory-agent/ocsinv.conf'' and modify following lines:
 +
OCSSERVER=yourdomain.com
 +
OCSTAG=your_tag
 +
And finally launch the first inventory manually:
 +
ocsinventory-agent -s yourdomain.com -t your_tag
 +
 +
==OCS Agent for Windows==
 +
There are 2 differents ways of sending inventories on Windows. Download the latest client software, OCSNG_WIN32_AGENT_1.xx_repack.zip from ocs website. This archive contains 3 executables.
 +
 +
See Section 4.1 in the internal OCS help file.
 +
===Service use===
 +
Using OCS as a service is what you will probably need.
 +
 +
Launch the install of ''OcsAgentSetup.exe'' and provide default settings of the service.
 +
[[Image:OCS-winagent-setup.png]]<br>
 +
----
 +
Then launch the first inventory by typing the following in the 'execute box':
 +
"C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\OCSInventory.exe" /server:yourdomain.com /np /debug /tag:your_tag
 +
Wait a few seconds and go to http://your-server/ocs, you should see your computer's inventory.
 +
 +
By default, Agent will contact the Server once a day.
 +
 +
You can override this default behaviour in ocs web interface options. Your changes will be applied next time the Agent contacts the Server.
 +
----
 +
For troubleshooting, look at the log file in ''C:\Program Files\OCS Inventory Agent\COMPUTER_NAME.log''
 +
 +
 +
===Standalone use===
 +
You can also make inventories on Windows without installing the service.
 +
 +
OCS standalone client is cut into 2 executables:
 +
*''ocsagent.exe'' - This file contains all needed files for the launcher
 +
*''OcsLogon.exe'' - This file is the standalone executable (launcher)
 +
 +
Of course, ''ocsagent.exe'' must be uncompressed before launching the standalone executable.
 +
 +
This can be done by executing directly ''ocsagent.exe'': files will uncompress in ''c:\ocs-ng''.
 +
 +
You can also import this file into ocs' MySQL database so that the standalone executable can download it if needed. This is documented in [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=OCS_Inventory_Tools&action=submit#MySQL_importation section MySQL importation].
 +
 +
The command line is the same as for the service:
 +
"C:\Path_to_file\OcsLogon.exe" /server:yourdomain.com /np /debug /tag:your_tag
 +
For easier and faster inventorying, you can also rename this standalone executable to your domain name (don't forget ''.exe''):
 +
"C:\Path_to_file\yourdomain.com'''.exe'''" /np /debug /tag:your_tag
 +
 +
For troubleshooting, look at the log file in ''C:\ocs-ng\COMPUTER_NAME.log''
 +
----
 +
 +
 +
===Importing ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL===
 +
The main advantage of this method is that you can send the standalone executable by Internet very quickly or even put the standalone executable on a floppy disk as it's only 65KB! How powerful looks your old floppy disk drive now?
 +
 +
This also allows to update files archived in ''ocsagent.exe'' on your clients (can be service or standalone executable).
 +
 +
A [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ocsinventory/OCSNG_PACKAGER_1.01.zip?download packager] is available at ocs website. This will allow you to repackage ''ocsagent.exe'' with your own modifications (i.e. an SSL certificate!)
 +
[[Image:OCS-packager.png]]<br>
 +
----
 +
1st thing you need is to copy ''ocsagent.exe'' (modified or not) in '''''/opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports/files/'''''.
 +
 +
Installer is locked (install.php), you need to change perms with the following command:
 +
chmod 660 /opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php
 +
 +
Then, you can import this file in the database. Go to http://yourdomain.com/ocs/install.php
 +
 +
Use the pre-configured account 'ocs' for that:
 +
[[Image:OCS-installphp.png]]<br>
 +
----
 +
If you get a warning message (cannot alter database), refresh the page and you should see a successful import.
 +
[[Image:OCS-installphp-ocsagent.png]]<br>
 +
----
 +
''ocsagent.exe'' is now in the database!
 +
{{Warning box|install.php has reset ocs password to 'ocs'. Re-apply your changes with following command:
 +
signal-event domain-modify
 +
This will also reset chmod to 440 on ''dbconfig.inc.php''
 +
}}
 +
You can now use ''OcsLogon.exe'' alone, it will download/update ''ocsagent.exe'' if needed!
 +
 +
If you want to remove ''ocsagent.exe'' from your database, simply delete the file from the server and redo install.php. This will delete the file from the database.
 +
 +
==OCS Agent for Linux==
 +
Download the generic linux tar.gz, unpack, read the README, and as root, run the setup script.
 +
 +
You may required additional perl- packages, use you package management tools to search for the missing dependencies based on the README or the error messages. See Section 4.2 in the internal OCS help file.
 +
 +
To run an inventory
 +
ocsinventory-client.pl -server=server.net -tag=network3
 +
 +
Check the time (will the PC be on) and command given in 
 +
/etc/cron.d/ocsinventory-client
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
