Hmm, neither of these go into detail about how its pulled but I am willing to bet its either WMI or the registry on the machine.

Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of HELMS, DAVID C Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 8:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Installed Software ? I am trying to locate any and all installs of adobe products installed on our servers. I've used the below criteria in a query to retrieve this information. Everything seems to be just fine, but I'm running across several clients were it says there is an installation, but if I go to verify on the server there is nothing there. Where exactly is this information getting pulled from? A while back I removed Adobe Reader from a bunch of servers so I guess it's possible it removed this security update as well but not sure? [cid:[email protected]] Example of an adobe product install, but if I verify on the server, there isn't anything there. [cid:[email protected]] If I run resource explorer. I see an entry under Installed Software. Nothing shows up under the display name, but product name lists the update.
