IMO, Your best bet is for you stop using SW inv and use the IE mof edit that Sherry has created. http://www.mnscug.org/blogs/sherry-kissinger/330-internet-explorer-version-information-via-hardware-inventory
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Atkinso n, Matt T Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2015 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Question regarding software inventory for Internet Explorer Hi All, We've been asked to gather the number of machines running versions of Internet Explorer greater than 11.0.9600.17041, when I check v_GS_SoftwareFile for machines that I know for a fact have been patched and updated to a newer version (manually checked the .exe file properties) they are still showing an old version even though they have recently ran software inventory. If I look at versions outside of the Program Files directory, I do see newer .exe versions being reported in the winsxs directory. Is there something special happening when files get patched that causes the build/subbuild numbers not to be reported correctly? Do we need to change the way we do our reporting to get accurate info down to that level of detail?
