In the Server/Client relationship, only one server is possible, but there may be multiple client PDQ Inventory consoles.

The PDQ Inventory console in Server Mode may also initiate scans and perform other tasks however, they are initiated in the same way a standalone, locally-installed PDQ Inventory console would. In this model, the PDQ Inventory consoles in Client Mode access the collections, reports, and tools on the PDQ Inventory console running in Server Mode, using the Server's database and background service. Migrating Custom Collections, Scan Profiles, Reports, and Tools from a Local InstallationĬentral Server addresses the need to share collections, tools (see important note below), scan profiles, and reports between PDQ Inventory consoles by creating a server/client relationship. No local database or background service is installed on this machine. Client Mode: the console(s) of PDQ Inventory used to connect to the Server's database (collections, tools, scan profiles, and reports).Consoles in Client Mode will connect to this machine through a TCP port. Server Mode: a PDQ Inventory console used to house the central database, collections, tools, scan profiles, and reports.This is the normal installation used in previous versions of PDQ Inventory. Local Mode: a standalone console of PDQ Inventory using its own local database.

There are three available options when configuring PDQ Inventory: If you will be converting an existing PDQ Inventory console to Client Mode and have custom Collections, Scan Profiles, Reports, and Tools on that console, please check out the Migrating Custom Collections, Scan Profiles, Reports, and Tools from a Local Installation section of this article first. You wish to configure the PDQ Inventory Central Server.
