Configure Client Kit: Directory Snapshot

By default, Vector AM collects software inventory data for all drives on each Client PC and saves it to the offline area as a compressed snapshot of the available drives. Use the Directory snapshot settings to specify the software inventory settings for Clients:

    Enable directory snapshots Clear this check box to prevent the collection of all software inventory data.

    Snapshot drives To restrict the software inventory collection to specific drives, enter the drives in this field using a comma-separated list. For example, to collect inventory data from only the C and E drives of the Clients, type C,E. This setting has no effect when directory snapshots are not enabled on the target Clients.

    Enable VersionInfo Some software manufacturers encode software version information in application files. Select this check box if you want the Client to collect version information from the installed software.

    VersionInfo Files By default, Clients collect version information from *.EXE files. Use this setting specify other types of file from which it can collect version information. For example, to collect version information from other program modules, enter *.EXE,*.DLL,*.OCX.

    VersionInfo Excludes To prevent Clients from checking files for version information in specific directories, enter the directory paths in this field.

    Enable compression By default, the software inventory data is compressed before it is transferred to the offline area. If you do not want the Client to compress the inventory files, clear this check box.
