Configure Client Kit: Inventory Analysis
Use the Inventory Analysis settings to control the collection of inventory data from Client PCs:
Windows
Analyzer The analyzer collects hardware inventory data, such as device lists, card information and
network data, from Client PCs. Because it collects much of the hardware inventory information used in
Reports, it should only be disabled when investigating problems.
The
DMI BIOS checker collects hardware inventory data, such as the PC vendor and model, from the Client's
BIOS using the Desktop Management Interface. Clear this check box to disable the collection of data through
the DMI.
The
DOS
CPU checker identifies the type and speed of the CPU installed in the Client when the information
is not available from the DMI. Clear this check box to disable the direct collection of CPU data by the
Client.
Registry
Identifications This setting controls the collection of the information added to a Client registry
when an application is added or removed using a standard installer such as InstallShield or Windows Installer.
Any software identified using this information is displayed in the Registry
Identifications tab of the Software Identification
Manager.
Microsoft
Serial Numbers This setting controls the collection of the serial numbers supplied during software
installations on Clients.
