zenworks massive report or view content on satellites servers

Hello Community,

I have a ZENworks infrastructure with a lot of satellites. I need to find a way/method to know if the sets are well replicated on its servers.

Going into ZCC to look at each server is too time-consuming, if not impossible, given the number of satellites (several hundred). The same goes for connecting to each server.

For the record, I have a ZRS connected to the ZENworks infrastructure.

Can anyone help me?

Kind Regards,

    Most folks, even our largest, are moving towards the use of "On-Demand Content" which does not even have the concept of replication as you describe for your satellite servers.  

    It's really nice when you make changes.  If you publish a new version of a bundle with new content and 1,000 Devices at a remote site refresh shortly thereafter....

    With the old method, all the devices would either fail or all pull over the WAN if the content had not yet fully replicated.  With the new feed, the sat will start pulling down and no devices will fail or go over the wan.  They will grab the sat server as it comes down. 

    The specific status of ODC files is not stored in the DB as with the old method, which also saves quite a bit of overhead on both the SATs and Primaries.

    Thank you Craig. 

    I have one parameter to take into account and that is that the flow rates between the seat and satellites are very low. On-demand can be a drag, especially on early deployments. It's imperative to conserve bandwidth during the day. That's why we don't use the old replication.
