Enterprise Reporter 3.5.1 - Configuration Manager User Guide


	NOTE: Use caution when creating your queries. Ensure that the resulting set of targets is not too large for a single discovery. As well, query results should not include computers included in another discovery of the same type. If a target is in more than one discovery of a particular type, rejected tasks will appear. For more information, see Data Collection Issues .

To explicitly include objects in your Registry scope

Click

Add.

- OR-

If you have a text file containing the computers to be selected, click Import and follow the steps as outlined in Importing Computers to Your Scopes .

In the treeview, locate the desired object and select it.
To select multiple objects, press Ctrl during selection.

For more information, see Filtering in the Browser .

- OR -

To include a scope using a subnet, expand the Add to scope menu, select Add Subnet, and click Add. For more information, see Using Subnets to Define Your Scopes .

Click Include to add to your selected scopes list.

Click OK.


	NOTE: When you add a domain, its child domains are not included - each domain must be explicitly added. When you add an OU or container, all children are included.

Registry Discovery: Optionally refine your scope list with exclusions

Exclusions refine the inclusions you have defined. You can do this optional step in conjunction with inclusions. For more information, see Refining Your Scope with Exclusions .

To explicitly exclude objects from your selected scope

Click

Add.

- OR-

If you have a text file containing the computers to be selected, click Import

Browse to locate the file containing the computers to be imported and select Exclude Computers.

Expand the treeview to locate the object you want to exclude.

You can press Ctrl to select multiple objects.

Click Exclude.

Select the file and click Open to start the import.

Registry Discovery: Select your global scopes

Global scopes are hives or keys that are collected from every computer in the scope. When you run the discovery, Enterprise Reporter uses the scopes you selected in the first two steps to resolve a list of computers that will be targeted. Anything you include or exclude globally is applied to these computers. Use global scopes to:

•

Collect a registry hive on all computers. User specific hives cannot be collected; only available hives are listed.

•

Collect specific registry keys on all computers. If there is a key that you want to collect on many of the computers, it is more efficient to include it globally. If the key is not on all targets, the inclusion will be ignored for those targets.

•

Exclude hives or keys on all computers. You make the same selections outlined above, but choose to exclude them instead of collecting them.


	NOTE: A global scope is not valid alone. You must first include a domain, OU, container, computer, hive or key. See Registry Discovery: Include scopes for more information.


	NOTE: If you add a global exclusion that conflicts with an explicit inclusion from Step 1, the explicit inclusion will be processed, and the global exclusion will be ignored.

To add a global scope

From the Add Global list, choose a hive.

- OR -

From the Add Global list, choose the hive, then type "\" and a key.

For example, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then type \Software to include all software registry keys on all computers.

- OR -

Type a hive and key.

Because these are going to be collected for all computers in the resolved discovery, you cannot include a computer name in the path. Invalid characters include "|", "[", and "]".

Click Include or Exclude.

You can press Enter to add to your list. Enter functions as the last button you clicked - for example, if you have just clicked Include, Enter includes your global scope.

Registry Discovery: Decide what to collect from any computer

The following table outlines the additional information that can be collected. Collecting additional information impacts discovery performance. Options with a high performance cost will slow discovery performance more than options with a medium or low performance cost.

Table 39. Registry Discovery: Optionally collect information for the following objects

This option is selected to collect key values. You can disable this option to collect only registry keys and enhance discovery performance.

•

If collecting key permissions, you can enable this option to recursively collect the members of any groups found in your discovery.

High

The following options further refine how collection tasks are handled.When collecting additional attributes, especially ones with a high performance cost, consider enabling this performance option to help improve collection performance.

Table 40. Registry Discovery: Performance Options

•

•

Large registry hives can take a while to collect, so you can improve performance by restricting the number of branches using the Branch depth option.

The following options determine how target computers are resolved during discoveries.

Table 41. Discovery Resolution Options
Option	Notes
Resolution Options
Allow a configurable number of seconds for a target computer to respond to a ping request	Pings target computers at collection time to determine the existence of target computers on the network before processing tasks.
Resolve target computers with disjoint namespaces	Verifies the existence of target computers with disjoint namespaces by using their DNS host names and, if that fails, by using their NetBIOS names.
