Add/Remove Programs Search Tool

This tool is really a sibling to the tool I created to search the Software Audit Table but is used to search the Add Remove Programs table. One of the most common questions Altiris Inventory Support handles is how to know which machines have a specific software or product in the Add Remove Programs.

In order to find all computers with a specific file from the audit scan, in the past it was necessary to create a new report for each software you were looking for.

I have created this report/tool in order to enable the searching of this data based on your criteria.

Below is a screen shot of the report:

It is important to remember that though not as large as the Audit Software table, this table is very large and in some environments it may not be beneficial to run this report without any criteria.

In addition, this is based off of a SQL statement and "%" is the wildcard character. Feel free to use wildcards in your criteria.

You can download this Reporting Tool from the attachment on the article.

To import this report, browse to your reports and right click on the folder where you would like to place this report in your Altiris Console. You can then click import and browse to the file xml or txt file for the audit software search.
