SUMMARY
Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Software Inventory reporting detail can be configured to report just the application, but not the files associated with the application. This is configurable in the Software Inventory Agent configuration screen under the Inventory Collection tab in the SMS Administrator console.
MORE INFORMATION
The options are listed under "Reporting Detail." From there, you can specify the level of inventory file information that you want reported. For SMS to report information on inventoried files, you must select at least one check box:
Product version information:
Information about "known" products (products that have company name, product name, version, and language) is inventoried and displayed per manufacturer in Resource Explorer. By default, this check box is selected.
Files associated with known products:
Resource Explorer lists files associated with the inventoried products. For example, Resource Explorer would associate Wwintl32.dll with Microsoft Word. This check box is available only when Product version information is selected. By default, this check box is cleared.
Files not associated with known products:
Files that do not include company and product information are inventoried and displayed in the Resource Explorer Unknown list. By default, this check box is selected.
