AdvisorAdvisorJust now, Stuart Weenig said:IMO, MSPs should not be using the wizard. Use expert mode or a scripted netscan to sync from a cmdb. The wizard is not meant for that level of scalability. It goes through troubleshooting connectivity to every device, etc. If you do add one device at a time, use expert mode, which actually allows you to set properties on the device, add it into groups, etc. as its added.
I'm probably missing some use case out there, so i'm curious how you're using it.
As an MSP we use netscan & expert mode all the time. That's not in question, however, we've a lot of persons using LM & sometimes 'Wizard' is used to add 1 device or so instead of 'Expert'.
This is a bug & should be fixed... Regardless if we're an MSP or no, it doesn't make sense to populate the properties of a certain device on the root group... I'm also missing the use case for this logic, are you aware of it?
This is just my opinion though. We rarely use the Wizard (myself, I don't use it all), however, I can't control our users.
We already brought this to everyone attention, however, if someone forgets, the issue is still there & might impact something.
Therefore & to prevent human error this should be considered & fixed on LM end.
