===Service use===
Using OCS as a service is what you will probably need.

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:
'''Since version 1-6, this file is no more included directly in the RPM to save bandwidth.'''
*''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''.
This file can be manually launched on any computer to uncompress needed files.
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''

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 send it 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?
1st thing you need is to copy ''ocsagent.exe'' 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 need to import this file in the database. Go to http://yourdomain.com/ocs/install.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:

If you get a warning, refresh the page and you should see a successful import.
If you get a warning message (cannot alter database), refresh the page and you should see a successful import.

This will also reset chmod to 440 on ''dbconfig.inc.php''

You can now use ''OcsLogon.exe'' alone, it will download ''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.
