Custom Inventory - add support for brackets to allow ANDs and ORs in the order I need them
Currently using both ANDs and ORs in the same custom inventory rule is unsupported according to the documentation. I was told that they are evaluated from left to right rather than using the normal rules of precedence. This would be particularly handy when you are trying to detect a program whose file might be in more than one location (especially c:\program files\ and c:\program files (x86)).

Loaner Pool for checking out any Asset item
There should be a section for a "Loaner Pool" or some such, that shows all assets that are available to be checked out whether they are a laptop, projector, software license, tablet or any other item. Users should be able to access this section, see what is listed and which items are available or when they will become available.

Management of network interfaces
In a high security network it is imperative that network interfaces (e.g. Wireless, Mobile, Bluetooth, etc.) be easily managed (e.g. disabled) to ensure that no internet or other network connection be made while connected to the secure network. In other words the only trusted network connection will be the primary wired network interface.
It would be great if one can easily have all other network connections disabled while connected to the primary network and then re-enabled when a workstation is removed from the protected network.6 votes -
Central index of files on workstations
It'd be useful for many if the agent could upload an index of files from selected locations (Say My Docs, Desktop, etc) to the server so that admins could perform a search for missing documents etc.
In the future, you could build on this to provide a sharepoint-style enterprise search centre that catalogs workstations aswell as servers.

Import "Annotations" from VmWare vCenter to "Notes" field
We have lots of virtual machines in our environment and have done a lot of work describing them in the Annotation field in vCenter. If Kace could import the annotations into the Notes field (2-way would be best, but not expected) we would save a lot of clicking by having all info available in Kace as well (no need to open vSphere Client to check annotations for which user "owns" the VM etc).

Reason for reboot on patching for Windows Server Shutdown Event Tracker
It would be excellent if the KACE Agent would log the reason for the reboot on Windows Server machines. Even if it just told the Shutdown event tracker that the KACE Agent rebooted, it would prevent the popup when I log into the server and would make my event log pretty. I believe this could be done very easily if the KACE agent calls shutdown.exe on the Windows machines.

script new asset
It would be nice if we could pre-populate asset forms by the Address Bar variables.
Example:
http://IPADDRESS/adminui/asset.php?ASSET_TYPE_ID=8&Name=ServerName01&Description=Test
ServerThis would be great to pre-fill out asset from a scripting point of view.

Log for deleted inventory
It would be really helpful to create a log for all asset records that get deleted. The log should include if the record was deleted by the MIA deletion script versus by a user. If it was a user, list the user that deleted the record.

Asset Rules Engine
I would like to have a basic rules engine for the Asset portion of the tool so that we can update the Asset fields using the rules. For examples:
If computer is a member of LDAP Label "HR" then apply Department value "HR"
If computer is a member of Label "London" then apply Location Value "London"
If the last login user was "Wayne Smith" apply the user value "Wayne Smith"
If the last inventory was not within the last 30 days then set a custom asset status filed as "Missing"
This could be built in the existing smart label /…

linking related asset
Is it possible to make it so that when you link one asset to another, that each asset shows up as a related asset under each other? Right now it seems that a related asset only show up under the asset that you linked it to. In order to see each asset linked on both sides you need to link the assets from both sides. This can become cumbersome to have to link the assets twice.

Capture networking related info
Would be nice to have the K1100 capture all of an end-point's neworking related information on checkin - default gateway, DHCP server, DNS servers. This would be very useful in determining if you had some sort of rogue network services provider on your network - or if there were systems that needed to be looked at after an infrastructure change.

Inventory - collect all IPs bound to a network interface
In the Inventory, the network interfaces for a Windows machine only lists the "primary" IP address. This is confusing because inventory run on Linux machines list every IP address bound to each interface. The inventory should be configured to list all IP addresses bound to the network interface on Windows; not just the primary IP address.
