I have around 700 machines on OCS and from time to time some of them stop sending their inventory. When I investigated, I found out that the OCS service on the missing machines was uninstalled (isn't on the list of services.msc). It seems to happen when the OCS agent fails numerous times to reach the server (machine connected from home without our company's VPN) but I can find a common theme other than that : the agent may fail dozen of times and keep working and then stop working some time later after just 5 or 6 fails.
I've checked the agent logs on a machine where it stopped working and there is nothing there.
For now, the only workaround I'm using for now is to deploy again the OCS agent.
General information
Operating system : Windows 10 and 11
OCS Inventory information
Windows agent version : 2.10.1.0
