How to have the Shield dump the inventory that it is uploading to the Policy Proxy out to a file:
- Add the following registry, this requires a reboot to take effect:
-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\CMGShield] DumpInventory=REG_DWORD:1
-
- [Optional] To get a complete inventory add the following registry entries:
-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\CMGShield] RefreshInventory=REG_DWORD:1
-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\CMGShield] OnlySendInvChanges=REG_DWORD:0
-
- After the reboot, force an inventory upload by adding this registry key:
-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Credant\CMGShield\Notify] PingProxy=REG_DWORD:1
-
When inventory is prepared to be uploaded, it is saved to a file named C:\inventory_upload.xml. The shield overwrites the contents of this file each time a new inventory is prepared.
