Will Device Inventory information be available for Remediation actions, for example clean up disk when disk space is below (Device Inventory) certain value ?
- Hi Jason, let me give some examples: (1) Remediation available disk space: detection=powershell script to get available disk space, remediation script=powershell for full cleanup. (2) BitLocker status: detection=is BL suspended/off, remediation=powershell to re-activate. If Device Inventory reports on disk space and BitLocker status, these properties could be used in the Detection phase. Off course I also see a disadvantage: a detection script is running "live" on the device and evaluates the most recent status, while used inventory information could not contain the most recent status. Conclusion: via device inventory is not the best way, unless the properties are re-evaluated live one the computer in Detection phase (e.g. DeviceInventory.FreeDiskSpace < 100 GB).

Hi Johan. Remediation scripts are run live and in real-time on the device and can thus (live and in real-time) query that information as they run. Pulling the info from inventory could probably be done (from wherever it is cached locally) but doesn't add any value necessarily as this info is potentially stale. I think that based on your last sentence, you've concluded this as well.
- Jason_SandysHi Johan Vanaken. Sorry, but why would you need this info in inventory for a remediation to take action? Are you specifically talking about on-demand actions so that an admin can decide to initiate a remediation based on info shown to them in the console that was collected from inventory?
- Abby_StarrHey Johan-- Device inventory info will not be available with our initial release. However, we love that feature suggestion. Would love to know more about some of the remediations you'd be most interested in!
