Hey, 

So far i was using deploy installed on my pc. I have license for one  admin (70 pc)  Now i decided to buy inventory. I started to think that both tools should be installed on separate vm and opened 24/7 due to scan schedules in inventory. 

What is your approach ? Can you give me any advice ? I want my inventory to be up to date.

  Thank you for answer F V,

  At this moment i use Windows remote desktop to access my VM's. 

  Can you share how do you access them ? Is there any quicker, more convenient way ?

  Hey,

  My Inventory is installed on a Lenovo M700. With SSD, i5-6400T, 16GB RAM. On my daily computer.

  Just need to restart my computer every 15 days ~ (perfs).

  Probably because of Inventory or Google Chrome, not sure ahah.

   

  My Inventory have 2500+ computers, with many tools, scans, collections and reports. My DB is about 1 GB now.

   

  No prob for 70 Workstations, I think, even if you scan all client's files and scan all the day.

  But for me, Inventory is more greedy than Deploy.

  There's also Client mode. You get a full PDQ console without RDP :)

  Installing in Client mode: https://help.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000083832-Configuring-Central-Server-PDQ-Deploy#Client

  Switching to Client mode: https://documentation.pdq.com/PDQDeploy/18.2.6.0/centralserver.htm
