You have a few options, so recommend over others.

*         Software inventory - Although capable of your request if a file is in 
this directory, it is very SQL intensive and not recommended.

*         Custom hardware inventory

o   Compliance item checking for the directory and reporting compliance on the 
directory

o   Compliance item checking for the directory and adding it to WMI/Registry 
for tracking (We prefer this method, more control, and keeps reporting in one 
place, hardware inventory)

o   Registry entry if the app puts one out there, then use RegKey2Mof for 
tracking

Also, submit feedback to the vendor to use standard application installation 
practices and put an entry in add/remove.

Subject: [mssms] SCCM Query for Directory Existence

Our company uses a 3rd party logistics application that doesn't display in 
add/remove programs once it's installed. When you try to verify the 
applications that are installed on a particular system via resource explorer, 
or via report, it doesn't list the application.

Is there a custom query I can run to report all devices where a specific 
directory exists?
