Jeff F. wrote: I'm using ZfD 3.2 SP3, and will be upgrading to 6.5. In ZENworks Reporting, an inventory of a workstation is full of drivers, .exe's and other stuff which I really don't care to see, or which is standard on every desktop I've deployed. Also, everyone in our agency gets a defined set of applications, so reporting that an "everyone" application is on a machine isn't relevant to my inventory reports. Is there a way to exclude products that are discovered without having to write a SWRules.ini file that would be a mile long?
A:
Not really, in ZfD 3.2. But when you upgrade to ZENworks 6.5 you'll be delighted to find the reporting is much much cleaner; also the collection is better.
