There have been a bunch of changes for Warranty Looker Upper over the last few weeks, and now there’s a couple more. ESX hosts are now checked. This will cover the same manufacturers as other computers – HP, Dell, Lenovo, IBM, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. This does require the Virtualization Manager plugin, and the plugin needs […]

There have been a number of changes with WarrantyLookerUpper over the last few weeks. As of today, the plugin is at version 1.35. There was an issue in the past with automatic updates not working.

A recent number of requests have come through to be able to sync warranty information from Automate to Manage by having the warranty information stored in the computers table for warrantyend and assetdate. These fields are sometimes used by other warranty checking methods. WLU is not able to do this as well. To enable it, […]
