So, you are reading this over HTTP to your JSS?

If you want to update the computer name and the local user name in the

Yes, but it takes much longer as it has to run a full inventory.

Question 2 : if I use recon and fill the username field, is it possible to ask the JSS to do an LDAP lookup on it, like in inventory doing Edit > Location > Check name ?
