Overview

Microsoft Intelligent Asset Manager 2018 (IAM) Universal Inventory (IAMUI) is a free product from Microsoft and the successor of Microsoft Workspace. This milestone release includes a number of significant improvements including GDPR compliance, process simplification and focus on value delivery over licensing compliance. Universal Inventory turns raw inventory data in to meaningful insights.

The direct integration between Microsoft IAMUI and UCMDB, that is, the UCMDB push integration with IAMUI, allows UD to push discovered software inventory data into IAMUI.

How the UCMDB-IAMUI integration works

The UCMDB-IAMUI integration enables UD to push discovered software inventory data into IAMUI as follows:

  1. Universal Discovery administrators deploy the IAMUI Push Adapter and create an integration point.
  2. The UCMDB-IAMUI integration pushes discovered software inventory data into the SQL Server or Azure SQL Sever database for IAMUI.
  3. IAMUI reads software inventory data from the SQL Server or Azure SQL Sever database and performs necessary software license validation.
