Hello Everyone! I've searched around the forums on this one a bit, but not found exactly what I'm looking for. I've got a query setup in ConfigMgr that shows a list of all our computers with 'Last Logon User Name' being shown. This way, our help desk staff can find a person's computer by their username for the purposes of remote control, etc. The problem is, some of our users switch around to different computers frequently, and we're finding this information is out dated sometimes. It appears the 'Last Logon User Name' is updated when the Discovery Data Collection Cycle runs. Right now, its set to run once a week, would it be a bad idea to change that to once a day? We're not a very large shop (300 computers now, 450 or so soon). OR Could I setup a script and use Domain policy so that the Discovery Data Collection would run on login - That way, any time a user logs into a PC, it refreshes the Last Login in Configmgr. Basically, my question is, whats best practice for the DDCC, default appears to be once a week. I can't imagine it would be a strain on the network or the server to update once a day, would it? :) Thanks in advance! -Direwolf

We're not a very large shop (300 computers now, 450 or so soon). It's fine to set heartbeat to once per day (given that the hardware of your siteserver is not 10 years old ;-) ).

hmm :-) I should have seen that number - I totally agree with Torsten, once a day will not cause you any problems.Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/members/Agerlund/default.aspx | The Danish community for System Center products

What about for 7,000 computers? What would be the rule of thumb?

I run it every 8 hours on 8000 computers. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

Keep in mind a lot factors into that, network speed, hardware etc etc but if it makes you feel better I have terrible hardware and network speed ;-) John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |
