Using OCS as a service is what you will probably need.
Launch the install of ''OcsAgentSetup.exe'' and provide default settings of the service.

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
"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''
===ocsagent.exe===
'''Since version 1-6, this file is no more included directly in the RPM to save bandwidth.'''
This file only contains files needed by the standalone executable ''OcsLogon.exe''. Files will uncompress in '''''c:\ocs-ng\'''''
There are different ways of using this file...
====Manual launch====
This file can be manually launched on any computer to uncompress needed files.
Procedure is pretty easy: double-clic on ''ocsagent.exe'' to uncompress files! ''ocsagent.exe'' will not be needed anymore (unless you delete ''C:\ocs-ng\'')
Go the ''OcsLogon.exe'' section.
====MySQL importation====
The other method is to import this file in ocs' MySQL database so that the standalone executable can download it.
The main advantage of this method is that you can then put the standalone executable on a floppy disk as it's only 65KB! How powerful looks your old floppy disk drive now?
1st thing you need is to copy this file in '''''/opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports/files/'''''.

===OcsLogon.exe===
This is the standalone executable. This is the alternate method of running ocs as a service.
You must use one of the above method before using it.
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:
"C:\Path_to_file\yourdomain.com.exe" /np /debug /tag:your_tag
