Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment.
You deploy the Configuration Manager client to all client computers.
You enable Hardware Inventory and Software Inventory for all of the client computers.
You discover that one of the client computers fails to report inventory data.
You confirm that the inventory files are copied correctly to the site server.
You discover, however, that the site server does not contain any data from the client computer.
You need to identify what is causing the reporting issue.
Which log file should you review?
A.
Dataldr.log
B.
Mp_hinv.log
C.
Inventoryagent.log
D.
Contenttransfermanager.log

dataldr.log
Site Server log file
Records information about the processing of Management Information Format (MIF) files and
hardware inventory in the Configuration Manager database.
Further information 1:

Site system server log file Records details about the conversion of XML hardware inventory records
from clients and the copy of those files to the site server.
InventoryAgent.log
Client log file
Records activities of hardware inventory, software inventory, and heartbeat discovery actions on the
client.
Contenttransfermanager.log
Client log file Schedules the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) or the Server Message
Block (SMB) to download or to access packages.

Troubleshooting Configuration Manager Performance
Slow Hardware Inventory Processing – Solution
If you suspect that hardware inventory report processing is slow for a Configuration Manager 2007
site, the following actions should be taken:
Inspect the client inventoryagent.log log file to determine whether the client is sending delta
hardware inventory reports or full reports. After initial client deployment, a very high percentage of
hardware inventory reports should be deltas, which contain much less data than full inventory
reports. If you are seeing a significant number of full inventory reports, this could be caused by
inconsistent inventory report processing by the site server. For example, a delta hardware inventory
report could be processed before a full inventory report for the same system has been processed. In
this situation, a hardware inventory resynchronization request will be sent to the client and an
additional full inventory report will be generated. To determine whether this is happening, review
the dataldr.log log file on the site server.
Inspect the size of the hardware inventory files in the site server’s inbox directory to determine
whether the software inventory files have grown significantly from previous inventory reports. If
hardware inventory report file sizes have grown beyond an initial hardware inventory report file size
baseline, you should determine the cause and whether the larger inventory report files are expected
to be larger. One possibility is that the site’s SMS_def.mof file has been modified to collect more
inventory information from clients. Determine whether there is a consistent SMS_def.mof hardware
inventory reporting file in use throughout the hierarchy. If not, the hardware inventory processor
might be running very slowly because of changes in the database schema caused by the different
SMS_def.mof files throughout the hierarchy. The dataloader.log log file will record instances of
database schema changes and should be reviewed when investigating this issue.This article was originally written for SMS, but the same principles should apply to SCCM 2012:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723597.aspx
Chapter 20 – Hardware and Software Inventory Flowcharts
If a backlog of MIF files accumulates at the site server (that is, if MIF files are not being processed):
Examine the Inventory Data Loader status messages or the Dataldr.log file to determine whether the
Inventory Data Loader has been able to connect to the SMS site database server. Inventory Data
Loader might be unable to write a discovered client’s MIF to the database.
If the MIF files are not being processed on the site server:
Verify that Inventory Data Loader successfully parsed the MIF file by checking Inventory Data Loader
status messages or the Dataldr.log file. If the MIF file cannot be processed, it will be transferred to
the \Badmifs directory.
If inventory from clients is not being reported to a new parent site:
Examine the Dataldr.log file to verify that Inventory Data Loader has read the *.sha file, stopped all
new MIF file processing, and is creating MIF files for each client’s data in the site database to
forward to the parent site.
This should be C since they are reffering to ONE client
InventoryAgent.log
Client log file
Records activities of hardware inventory, software inventory, and heartbeat discovery actions on the client.
The next sentence “You confirm that the inventory files are copied correctly to the site server.” gives the idea that it is not a client problem, because the log file is created and sended to the server

NEW QUESTION 167
You have a System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 (SP1) deployment. Configuration Manager has Asset Intelligence enabled. You do not have an Asset Intelligence synchronization point. In the Configuration Manager Console, you discover that a number of Inventoried Software entries are listed in an uncategorized state. You need to change the state of the items that are listed as uncategorized. What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
A. Assign a validated family to each entry.
B. Click Request Catalog Update for each entry.
C. Click ResolveConflict for each entry.
D. Assign a user-defined label for each entry.
E. Assign a user-defined family to each entry.
Answer: BE
Explanation:
B: To request a catalog update for uncategorized software titles:
– In the Configuration Manager console, clickAssets and Compliance.
– In the Assets and Compliance workspace, click Asset Intelligence, and then click Inventoried Software.
– Select a product name or select multiple product names, to be submitted to System Center Online for categorization. Onlyuncategorized inventoried software titles can be submitted to System Center Online for categorization.
– On Home tab, in the Product group, click Request Catalog Update.
Etc.
E: The Asset Intelligence validation state of uncategorized represents that a catalog item has not been defined by System Center Online researchers, the item has not been submitted to System Center Online for categorization, and the administrator has not assigned a user-defined categorization value.
To modify the categorizations for software titles:
– In the Configuration Manager console, click Assets and Compliance.
– In the Assets and Compliance workspace, click Asset Intelligence, and then click Inventoried Software.
– Select a software title or select multiple software titles for which youwant to modify categorizations.
– On the Home tab, in the Properties group, click Properties.
– On the General tab, you can modify the following categorization information:Product Name: Specifies the name of the inventoried software title.Vendor: Specifiesthe name of the vendor that developed the inventoried software title.Category: Specifies the software category that is currently assigned to the inventoried software title.Family: Specifies the software family that is currently assigned to the inventoried software title.
