All,
I'm currently trying to setup Software Licenses in 7.1 for Operation System counts. In 6.5 you could easily search for an OS name but in 7.1 you have to search for a software product. My first method works but requires a targeted inventory policy to run on each machine and determine the OS. This works and I'm able to see counts for each OS. I was wondering if this could possibly be done with a CMDB rule which would eliminate the need for a policy. Basically I'm wondering If I can create a rule to look for all Windows 7 machines (this part is no problem) and assosiate them with the Windows 7 software product (this part I can't seem to find). The only thing I see that looked like it might work was assosiating the machine to the Default Package Policy > Inventory Rule. The rule ran for my test machine but it's not showing up as "installed" in the product. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Cody
