When you use the Software catalog of the Altiris software Manage component, you can add/modify "detection rules" for your Software Components (And you should do so: see Also: Why New Version 7 “Altiris Client Management Suite ” from Symantec, Change the Game Rules for Software Delivery? ). As for the "named targets", I did not find any place where I could list and manage those detection rules That's why I created one Here it is: I added a column with the Child name of the associated "Software component". I sort on this so the "orphan" none associated rules are displayed first. So now: we can delete them , or edit, or protect (Add to Org. group), etc... Just upload the XML file in attachment in your preferred "reports folder" into your Altiris Notification Server 7 alias NS7 (That is the Symantec Management Platform 7 or SMP7). And enjoy your new "Software management" Altiris processing.
