How to open a custom data form from the console and write the results to the affected client

If you need to change or create custom data on someone's PC, the recommended procedure is to remote control their machine and start the CDF from there. If that doesn't work for you, there is another way but its in no way supported.

Requirements:

  • Must be able to map to remote system via Microsoft Share
  • Must install Console Extender from Managed Planet(it's free).
  1. Create a new Item in the Console Extender, as shown below

  2. Here is the LD-CustomData.CMD files content as shown in image above. Please insert your username and password used for mapping to the remote system where it says <PASSWORD> and <USERNAME>
*************************************
@echo off
if exist \\%1\c$ goto EXPR
echo Connecting to Remote System "%1"
net use \\%1\c$ <PASSWORD> /user:%1\<USERNAME>
if not exist \\%1\c$ goto SUBEND
:EXPR
"\\%1\c$\program files\landesk\ldclient\LDCSTM32.EXE"
net use \\%1\c$ /delete
goto END
:SUBEND
echo There is a problem connecting to the remote system...
pause
:END
exit
*******************************************


You're done with setting it up.

When you right click on a device and select "Custom Data Form" and it will remotely execute the custom data form and you an update it. Just make sure you right click and run an inventory after your done editing the custom data form so you can see the changes in the console.

"Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Give me five bees for a quarter', you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah...the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war; the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones."
