@GarthMJ,
Thanks for the reply! Actually did already take a look at that article, and no, when looking at the InventoryAgent.log file there was nothing new in the log whatsoever that would have indicated that the reporting task had attempted to kick off at all... seems strange. The last Inventory action that I had seen was from the 31st of last month with an action of "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}". No hardware, software, or file collections. However, now since I ran the manual task, I am getting the hardware and software inventory actions starting this morning... I'm going to keep my eye on it and see what happens tomorrow.
I'll update tomorrow once I can see if things are flowing as expected.
Thanks, Chad
