Unfortunately, I get all the virtual devices no matter whether PC or server the following known message:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Marksman.Sentry.RunWMI()

Does anyone have the same problem with the virtual devices and does anyone know a solution? Thank you very much for your help.

Hey Guys,

When I run the Marksman.exe file I get the "Please double-check the BaseURI key in your " error. I have already edited the config file to match my baseURI and API key as indicated in the README.
Any suggestions on how to get this fixed? Thanks!

Below is the output when I run the Exe and my Config file

Hi

I'm trying to compile Marksman from the repo however, I've encountered a few issues.
I have managed to successfully get the SnipeSharp solution built and it appears to be loading into the Marksman solution properly however, there appears to be issues within the Marksman solution preventing a successful build.

Issues

Below are the issues I have encountered while trying to build this solution.

MarksmanSetup (unavailable)

The marksman solution contains a VS installer (.vdproj) project however, this does not appear to be available either within this repository or another?

SearchFilter Errors

SearchFilter objects are created within Broker.cs however, the SearchFilter class does not contain a constructor that takes a single argument.

Full Error List

In addition to the two errors listed above, the errors in the below screenshot are also present when attempting to build the solution.

Environment

OS: Windows 10
IDE: Visual Studio 2015 (Community Edition)

Hi,

I am getting this error when trying to run the agent.

I have tried to change the status label and still get the same issue. The old one still works but would rather have the auto updater.

Hi,

It seems we are missing "fieldset" as a config setting. Might help with automatic mac address on a new model additions.

Secondly we might want to add "status label" on addition. Also temporarily through config file.

The company I do work for is a Global company, our Forest is split into countries by OU.

I'm over the USA primarily and this has been working fine, but we are taking over Canada IT management and we were trying to see if there is way to point at two LDAP binds instead of pointing to the root of our Countries OU and pulling every user across the company in as that would be a massive amount. We only want to pull in the OUs we are responsible for. We then sort by location and use the LDAP OU pointer there to sort users by location.

Hi,

First off thank you for this agent, it has saved me allot of time!

Unfortunatley though on a fresh windows 10 install that has been updated through windows update I get this error message.

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Marksman.Sentry.RunWMI()
at Marksman.Marksman.Main(String[] args)

Any assistance would be appreciated

Hi Guys,

1st let me CONGRATULATE all of you for your hard work and dedication to this project. THANK YOU !!
In relation to this particular issue: "Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel":

Is it possible to "allow" self-signed certificates or somehow bypass the "ssl check" ?

Maybe this will help ???!
https://dejanstojanovic.net/aspnet/2014/september/bypass-ssl-certificate-validation/

Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone confirm Marksman works with version 5.x of SnipeIT?

I am getting an error in Windows 10 Invalid XML syntax on line 15 which is the API key

Is there a macOS version planned?

Hi there! @snipe (of Snipe-IT) here!

First off, thanks for writing this! It's a very cool project, and we're excited to see what you do with it! We were hoping you'd be willing to issue a new release with your manufacturer fixes in it, as we have a user who is trying to get Scope-IT working with Snipe-IT, and is hitting errors, specifically:

Unhandled Exception: SnipeSharp.Exceptions.RequiredValueIsNullException: Property Manufacturer cannot be null.
   at SnipeSharp.Endpoints.QueryParameterBuilder.GetParameters(Object item)
   at SnipeSharp.Common.RequestManagerRestSharp.Post(String path, ICommonEndpointModel item)
   at SnipeSharp.Endpoints.EndpointManager`1.Create(T toCreate)
   at Marksman.Sentry.GetAsset(NameValueCollection appSettings, SnipeItApi snipe)
   at Marksman.Marksman.Main(String[] args)

It looks like #5 might be the missing piece there, and we'd love it if he could download a version with that fix in it.

Thanks so much for your time, and for this awesome project!

Is there a way to silently install Marksman with the marksman config settings preconfigured and then having it run the exe file automatically?
I want to deploy Marksman on at least 200 laptops and installing the MSI manually is time consuming.

Hello,

when running the EXE file I get the following error:

What can I do?

Thank You.

Hi,

I am trying to get this working but apparently the API is incorrect. I have regenerated one and tried that but no luck. Pleases can I get some help.

Also has there been any updates? I've seen that there should have been? I will find this extremely useful in my workplace.

Work with the update functionality in SnipeSharp api

Is there an option to get this to silently run? If not I would like to request it as a feature.

When will the Component lookup (Hard drives, CPU, GPU,etc) feature be added to Marksman? Will it be able to tell us what software is loaded on a PC?

Need to have more logging. In general, an exception should be handled and result in a descriptive stack trace dumped to the log file / console.

I set this up on web server and tried to get marksman to work on pc filled out api key and info then try run exe and keep getting error

the application has failed to start because its side-by-side

I've googled and watched loads of video on how to fix it but cant seem to get it to run.
I've installed Microsoft visual c++ redistributable also still noting

any ideas ?

After trying to run the marksman I get the below error, not sure where the problem is. The API key was created from the SnipeIT user's "ManageAPIKeys"

I'm trying to compile Marksman on Windows using Visual Studio 2017.

However it seems that the SnipeSharp API Reference doesn't seem to match the code.

The marksman code trying to call SearchFilter / Location / Statuslabel cannot as theirs no a constructor to take 1 argument. (all the constructors take 0 arguments in the class) so error CS1729 pops up 11 times.

What SnipeShare version are you using? - I've tried each of the forked versions but can't seem to find one that makes it work.

Or do you have any Windows build instructions?

Can you update existing assets information using the agent?

Hello,

So I am testing this on my local environment to snipe and it is updating snipe which is good, however for the assets AssetTagPrefix.

When am updating it in the .exe.config to bv_asset_number, it keeps updating to the S/N, however on snipe all assets have they own id, for example, bv_asset_506, is they any way I can set this up or a way for it to ignore if snipe has a different asset tag?

thanks,
Josh

We have already bulk imported info from AD. When running the config, it overwrites what is there or if I use "", it shows "undfined. Is there a way to preserve existing data for those two fields?

I would like to request advice on building application as window service and remote install on client machine.

Do not let the marksman to run with default/empty config.

OR

rename shipped config to Marksman.config.example and check file existence on start.

When using either the MSI, or compiling from source, the MAC address on our Dell, Lenovo, and HP laptops are not being populated during new asset creation. While looking at the code, I noticed line 129: customFields.Add("_snipeit_macaddress_1", macAddress); Is this trying to create a custom field instead of using the build in Asset with MAC Address?

Steps to recreate:
Install Marksman 1.01 MSI
Modify config file to connect to Snipe-IT
Run marksman.exe.
Verify new entry in Snipe-IT, without a MAC Address

I'm running the agent on a Latitude 7480 as my test machine.

Hello,
We're needing the agent to query the asset tag using WMI on SMBiosAssetTag to query the asset tag set in the bios of Dell laptops and desktops.
Running the following from PS provides the expected result:
(Get-WmiObject Win32_SystemEnclosure).SMBiosAssetTag
I'm new to VS and C#, and get errors when I try to run a build: Error CS1729 'SearchFilter' does not contain a constructor that takes 1 arguments line 105
I think I can figure out the code needed to query the asset tag directly if I could get the solution to build. Any help greatly appreciated!

Dears,

We want to update the serial number of the PCs that we already have in SnipeIT.
As we imported them with a csv file, we didn't populate the serial number field.
We would like to do it with marksman but as the asset is already created, it doesn't update the serial, even if blank.

How can we modify the broker.cs file in order to force also the serial update?

Kind regards

The agent has suddenly stopped working for us. It says the item already exists in the database, but when browsing the database tables, the entry does not exist at all.

We did customize the code for the serial number so it queries the BIOS for the asset tag, so that may have something to do with it (See my fork for the code changes).

Any thoughts?
