Distributing a Common Server List for CIM monitoring ...

[Ayman Altounji]

I am working on a script that will distribute a common Insight Manger server list to multiple computers so that each user will always have an updated list of production servers that we should be monitoring within the application. The key file that I have found to make this feasible is the "cim_ip.dat". But, the problem that I am running into is that the "cim_ip.dat" file only updates the "IP Device List". It does not update the "List of All Devices". Instead, this master data base still contains old servers that I no longer would like showing up on each active session of Insight Manager across these multiple computers. I am sure that someone else has run across this problem before. If someone has any idea how to update this "master database" remotely via a script then I would really appreciate the assistance. THANKS!

You not only have to copy the cim_ip.dat file but the cimdb directory as well. The cimdb directory is where the List of All Devices and Responsible Device List are maintained.
