No Client Discover on SIM 5.0

[Craig Rayner_1]

I am having difficulty getting the SIM Serever to discover the clients (Over 100 of them) on the network. The System is happy with multiple servers but refuses to even acknowledge the existence of any workstations.
How do I load software on a machine the system refuses to acknowledge?

Do you have any discovery filters enabled? It's possible that HP SIM has been told to ignore clients.

If discovery filters are not enabled, keep in mind that HP SIM will add any device to the database as long as it responds to a ping. So, even if all the management software is mis-configured, you should get the device to show up, although it may come back as an unknown device.

Thanks David.

Did have workstation but not desktops and unmanaged selected.
