Sets the database to be downloaded from a PDQ Inventory Rollup server. Contact your Rollup server administrator for the correct settings.
Computers and Inventory
When downloading computers and inventory from a Rollup server all existing data will be deleted. If a computer is in the Rollup database more than once because it was scanned by more than one computer then the most recent scan data will be downloaded, preventing any duplicate computers from being in the local database.
Background Service
The download happens from the Background Service so its user account must have sufficient rights to connect to the database server (see below). This allows the database to be copied without the console running. As long as the PDQInventory service is running a scheduled download will occur in the background.
