I have some users that have laptops with VPN connectivity. Pretty much the only thing they get used for is VPN access and they are generally used after hours. I'm having some issues with inventory data appearing to be inaccurate. Trying to check a few things and my first question is around the inventory process. I have the hardware inventory set to run late at night, when a user typically isn't going to be connected or the laptop even be turned on. From what I can find, that means the inventory will run the next time the service starts. So, if the laptop gets started up, and the inventory then runs, but it still isn't connected to the VPN, what happens? Does it wait and 'resend' the collected data once it's connected to the VPN and can access the site server? Or does it try to send it, fail (because it isn't yet connected to the VPN), and then give up until next time?
I haven't dug into the logs yet since access to them is hard to coordinate but was hoping someone could confirm or deny what should happen in that scenario.
