After running the recon command per @mm2270 it updated for my computer. What's the best way to start recon on all the computers? I'm still trying to figure a lot of this stuff out.



Thanks everyone for the help and tips so far.

@AdamBritt, depends.. We run a recon at every login... But I know some people run them weekly.

We run recon daily. But whenever I add a new Extension Attribute I give it a jumpstart by triggering a recon on all Macs. This can be done with Casper Remote. Select all the computers, check off "Update Inventory" in the advanced tab, and click "Go."

@AdamBritt - there should already be a scheduled policy to update inventory across all your Macs that runs on whatever schedule you chose when you (or someone) set up the JSS. For most people that's once per day. Some people with a lot of Macs spread that out further to once a week.
I'm not certain of the naming of this policy in the 9 series of Casper Suite, but in version 8./x it shows up as simply "Update Inventory"
But in addition to this policy, you can have Macs update inventory after any policy run, especially policies that install new software. In version 9 that's under the Maintenance section. In version 8 its under Advanced. In both cases its a checkbox called "Update Inventory"
