SYMPTOMS
When you inventory MSOffice on a client that runs any version of Microsoft
Office other than Microsoft Office95 Professional, the client's Properties
for Packages will show that the client has Office Professional installed.
CAUSE
The inventory rule in the package definition file (PDF) for Office95
Professional has only one rule with the file name Msoffice.exe. Since
versions of Office have an executable file named Msoffice.exe, all versions
will be inventoried as Office95 Professional.
RESOLUTION
Use the PDF that comes with MSOffice95 Professional.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management
Server version 1.2.
