Ah, sorry, missed the magic word “ClickOnce”… G&T time here you see… ☺

Check c:\windows\ccm\logs\mtrmgr.log. I don’t think it’s possible, but this sounds like a great Connect request to see if the SWM agent can pull child process as well as parent processes. They might have to use procexp.exe though. :P Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andreas Hammarskjöld Sent: Friday, December 12, 2014 1:04 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Another great alternative to Software Inventory I think the .exe path is in there somewhere… seem to remember that from when I played with it.

Is there a way to get the actual exe file name instead of the .Net name? For example: I have an exe running ISDHelpDesk.exe that is a clickonce app. In the query from the TechNet post (Sherry’s query) it is only showing the .Net info not the actual exe name of ISDHelpDesk.exe.

Times executed... Just increments over time... Last used date is updated... So to understand use frequency, u might take times executed and do math... Divided by number of days since OS install date to get probable use per day... On my computer summary report, I have a section at the bottom that lists the executables where last used date within the last 30 days. I had to filter away some executables as they didn't really matter to me (OS related executables), I also filtered out some executables based on file path... I could see this type thought process might be a determining factor in the type of hardware used for a scenario.

In looking for an answer to another problem, I tripped over this post by Sherry and Garth (thanks!) on Technet Forum that had another suggestion for inventorying applications. It is to use the CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS view. I can’t believe I’ve been doing SCCM for as long as I have without knowing about this view. It would for the most part get rid of my need for SW inventory. It is not exactly the same as SW Inventory – it only inventories recently used (a few months) executables, and it won’t detect unused executables at rest on the computer but it is comprehensive and will detect applications being run not only from the Program Files area, but in the user space too. the post is here… https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/43d1ed69-53f6-434d-838d-1a1024f1b80b/specific-software-title-not-displayed-in-inventoried-software-but-is-listed-in-software-metering?forum=configmgrinventory ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential and may be legally privileged.
