Inventory automatically taken when any software or update is installed
It would be extremely beneficial to have any update or software install trigger KACE to take a new inventory.

In addition to running the inventory it should also recalculate any smart labels that are assigned to the system.

This would be so beneficial, I've used 3 votes on it. The size of our environment coupled with our inventory interval makes it very difficult to validate the results of a software release to the enterprise. It would be EXTREMELY useful for the agent to run a very quick inventory to report back to the K1 as part of the MI process to confirm that the software was indeed installed BEFORE the next full inventory interval.

Yes, it would be nice if inventory information were more-accurate (reflect actions taken, not delayed until the next check-in interval of agent). This would also make dependent actions (install package B if package A is installed) occur in a more-timely fashion.

We package our installs in SFX .EXE files that run a script that then triggers the install. At the end of the script, we trigger an inventory on the client by calling runkbot -s 4 0. Works great, although we only do that for some installs as it would otherwise hammer the server if 500 PCs run an inventory at the same time during the nightly maintenance window.

While we're at it, how about script interval triggering on certain software installs? That way things like custom Java configurations would be easier to manage.
