In the dynamic world of IT asset management, maintaining accurate and efficient control over asset allocation is crucial. GLPI, an open-source IT Asset Management system, provides a powerful and comprehensive solution to manage a vast array of assets. From hardware to software inventories to networking equipment.
When looking for efficiency, an effortless and reliable asset management process is crucial for maintaining operational data up-to date, laying the foundation for strategic planning.
The Challenge of Manual Asset Transfers
Manual asset transfers and update are one of the most faced challenges within an organization that starts the CMDB processes. The process, inherently prone to human error, can lead to inaccuracies in data, misallocations, and administrative overhead. It means costs and less perception of value to the company. Not to mention the time consumed from the people responsible to assure the inventory is correctly updated.
Automating Asset Transfers with GLPI
Automating asset transfer in GLPI not only saves time but also ensures a more efficient and error-free management process. By leveraging business rules, you can ensure that computers, software licenses, and monitors are always optimally allocated, improving overall productivity and resource utilization.

This version essentially fixes a regression introduced in the MSI packaging for Windows in the 1.7.2 version:
the LOCAL parameter was forced to the agent installation folder when not used. After that, local inventory was also generated even if this wasn’t required. This LOCAL configuration will be removed during this update.
CVE-2024-28241 patch was modified to not be enabled if the installation folder and (if used) the LOCAL parameter remain under the default system folder as there’s not security issue in that case.
These updates only impact Windows installation performed with MSI packaging.
We invite you to upgrade your agents on Windows as soon as possible.
You don’t need to upgrade to 1.7.3 GLPI Agents that were not installed on Windows and which are at least in 1.7 version.
