Scan Now

The Scan Now panel allows you to configure how you want to run an on-demand inventory scan, either through the ZENworks Icon or a Quick Task. The following settings are available:

Collect Software Applications: Select this option if you want to scan for software applications. This setting is selected by default.
Collect Software File Information: Select this option if you want to scan for software file information that can be used to identify software products that aren’t recognized by the ZENworks Knowledgebase. If you plan on creating Local Software Products and adding them to the knowledgebase, this option must be selected. For more information, see Local Software Products.
Collect Hardware: Select this option if you want to scan for hardware data. This setting is selected by default.
Launch Collection Data Form: Select this option if you want to send out the Collection Data Form, which is used to collect demographic data. For more information, see Collection Data Form.
Run DMTF Translator: Select this option if you want to run the DMTF (Desktop Management Task Force) Translator. The DMTF translator converts the inventory data to formats that can be used by other tools and puts it on the local machine.
User Can Initiate Scan: Select this option if you want to allow the workstation user to initiate a scan by using the ZENworks Icon.
Collect MSI Information: Select this option if you want to scan for information about the installed Microsoft Installer (MSI) files that are used for installation, storage, and removal of programs on a device.
