There’s nothing I can think of that meets the exact use case other than psexec or calling a Remote Procedure Call from a script (which DMScript can’t do directly but VBScript can, DMScript could be made to call a DLL function if we know the function call and its parameters). There’s nothing in our Agent that allows such direct Agent-Agent communication, our Agent is designed to be managed by a manager, not communicate amongst themselves. Yes, CAM can communicate directly from Agent-Agent but something would have to be written to provide the intelligence, with CAM as the transport. DTS also can communicate Agent-Agent but only to transfer files, again there’s no intelligence to meet the need.
The only thing I can think of would be:
· Script on computer A saves inventory items
· When inventory is stored at DM, a query based policy runs a job which submits an SD job to Computer B with the correct parameters
This obviously would not be a real-time solution as there would be several delays in the process for inventory collection, policy evaluation and SD job setup.
