What I want - windows 2012 to install altiris inventory and altiris server inventory subagents in the same way that 2003/2008 do, right now.
It seems the filters were written specific to 2000/2003/2008, there are no "like '%windows%'" arguments here, they just include filters.
What I've done thus far - created my own windows 2012 filter, then took that GUID and added it to the windows server collection through collectionincludecollection:
Doing this essentially fixed most of my issues by forcing altiris to bring in 2012 servers. Unfortunately, I'm missing something...when I check the client policy on our 2012 servers, it shows
<Policy version="7.1.8280.0" userPolicy="" hash="1C88F9A35DBBA596FAD48F9C7B3B8C4E" name="Inventory Plug-in Install" guid="{BADABAAC-2382-4E92-90A8-F933B64BC17B}"/>
but never runs and doesn't show up in the software delivery window with ALL options checked (to include anything expired/installed).
What am I missing that doesn't allow this client on 2012 to install the Inventory agent in a normal fashion?
disclaimer - I'm aware that 2012 is not supported and an article is given as a work around to install the inventory agent and inventory server agent manually. see my first line - I don't want a work around, I want it to work as it does with 2008. If the article states that you can go ahead and run the agent, if installed via SWD, then I should be able to get this installed with a little tweaking.
