Hello @alexchini,

May i know what office plugin did you install? mine doesnt have any data may you please help

Hi @helicrenz

I'm using the last version available the 2.0 of 09/2017 with ocs 2.5 but i had the same problems with the ocs 2.3.

The plugin for my case work only if you start the ocs client on your pc manually with OCSInventory.exe
/force don't work if you start OCSInventory.exe as a windows service.

Keep in mind that ocs client use a vb script for parse the registy keys but unfortunally microsoft write the registry keys of the office versions in different positions and with different logic so some version of office are not find by ocs.

hello @alexchini,

I tried to install https://github.com/PluginsOCSInventory-NG/officepack/releases/tag/2.0. But im getting error.

its working other plugin but i cant manage to make it work 2.0. any idea?

[alexchini]

ah ur problem is on the server side, maybe the ocs log can give some lead.

As first idea, if u don't have done, check the files owner of the zip files in the download directory of the server. they must be apache or www-data this depend on the OS u r using.

@alexchini ,

Yes, i already check the permission its already www-data.

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 34K Sep 27 15:55 officepack.zip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 127 Sep 24 11:24 README

I just confused why https://github.com/PluginsOCSInventory-NG/officepack/releases officepack 2.0 doesnt work. While this one work #34 but its unable to show the data office keys licensed.

[helicrenz]

i manage to fix mine. how do you automate the vbs script using ocs package? any suggestion

[alexchini]

the vbs script is load in the client by the OCSInventory.exe as you can see in the posts before. You can also manually run the vbs script in the client u should see some popup with the office license key, if you don't see nothing it mean the vbscript is not able to parse your office version

[helicrenz]

yes i manage to make it work. Do you think its possible to use OCS deployment to store the vbs script on each client of computer? or its better to use GPO?

[alexchini]

yes you can use the OCS deployment but you have to configure it in the right way, it is not possible tu run ocsinventory client as service, it must be scheduled in another way.

Do you have any idea?

@helicrenz can you check your /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ocsinventory-reports.conf

You should have

<Directory /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/ocsreports>
    # By default, users can use console from everywhere
      <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
        # Apache 2.4
        Require all granted
          </IfModule>
          <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
      </IfModule>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    AllowOverride Options

The "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks" is important here

Then check your download directory block :

<Directory /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/download>
   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     Require all granted
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
   </IfModule>
</Directory>
Alias /download /var/lib/ocsinventory-reports/download
