Asset Management provides a default template, User Template, that collects company and user information. The User Template is linked to all the users in the All User Accounts group. Configure this template module to prompt the user for input.
This template uses the NCUSER.MIF file to store and retrieve the company and user information. This file is available under
C:\Program Files\CA\DSM\Agent\units\00000003\uam
folder.You can also create new templates to collect information for specific devices like printers, terminals, bridges, and routers. The template prompts the user for input at the scheduled time for the attributes being collected. You can create templates using the built-in Template Editor and can configure the template for the required users and computers.
The templates that are configured for a user are executed when the particular user logs in (from anywhere in the domain). The templates that are configured for a computer are executed using the Local System account. The templates are available only for Windows Agents.
