Hi,

Does anyone have this report already created? Basically I want to know all software that has been installed since the previous software inventory was taken. List details such as Netbios Name, File Name, File Description, File Path and possibly Install Date and Time.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Paul

Basically there's no historical information kept for Software Inventory, unlike hardware inventory.

If it were a one off, and you knew exactly when the client has just done its software inventory, you could possibly look at the .SID (software inventory delta) file that is sitting in the sinv.box folder. But this isn't in a very nice format.
