Tranquil IT Forum

Hello,

I'm creating this topic for two minor everyday production issues:

- Is it possible to integrate an uptime section into the general section for workstations? Perhaps a column in the inventory console?
This would be particularly useful as it would significantly reduce the need to deduce when PCs were last restarted.

- It's not possible to block the installation of certain applications selected by default:

For example, I have a list of packages that install on all PCs in the domain (including TightVNC Server), but for the admin OU, I want TightVNC Viewer. Consequently, the admin PCs are always getting errors related to this.

Thank you in advance.
Have a good day.

In the hardware inventory you have "last_boot_uptime"

This corresponds to the date of the machine's last startup; you can drag the value into the columns to get it for all machines

This specific case is indeed not being handled intentionally to avoid falling into an overly complex mechanism.

You can use a metapackage if you wish:

Hello,

thank you very much for this information. I didn't know you could create new columns this way.

Have a good day.
