3.0 Procedure

  1. Perform a scan on any Windows managed device.

    After upgrading to ZENworks 11SP3, we recommend that you run a full scan to get complete information about the Add/Remove Programs (ARP) that are installed on the device.

  2. After the scan is finished, open the inventory report for the device in ZENworks Control Center and check to see if all ARP products installed on the Windows device are listed:

    1. Click Devices >Workstations.

    2. Select the device, then click Inventory.

    3. Click Detailed Hardware/Software Inventory.

The inventory report is launched for the selected device. You can identify and differentiate the software programs reported from ARP, FP, or MSI through the check boxes in the detailed inventory report. For example, ARP check boxes are selected for all software products that are reported from the Add/Remove Programs list.
