Analyzing Software Distribution
Use the Compliance view of the Package Policy Manager to display the details of how the software currently installed on your network matches your package policies. To display the Compliance details, click the Specify Package Policies operation in the Console, then select the Compliance tab.
When you have created your package policies, you can use the Package Policy Manager to check how well your Client PCs conform to your policy specifications.
To perform a package analysis on your network:
1 In the tree, select the Compliance tab.
2 In the PPM Analyzer dialog, click Yes to run the Analysis command.
3 When the Analyzer has finished, the Compliance tree contains a series of reports on the compliance status of software on your network.
4 To display the details of a report, click on its entry in the tree. The results are displayed in the List view.
Notes
Before running the Analyzer, run the Update Software Inventory operation in the Console to add the current software installation information to the Site database.
