    Hi All

    Im quite new to Altiris CMS I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

    Im trying to create a simple filter that displays a list of computers which have a particular verion of software installed. Im not that versed with SQL so Im limited to the SQL Query Builder within SMP Ver 7.0. Im not that familiar where the data is stored within the SQL Tables but I have a feeling that once I know where it is it would be simple to add to the query.

    The application generally appears under the Resource Manager within Add/Remove Programs listed via Inventory

    Thankyou very much in advance.

    1. Log into the Symantec Management Console
    2. Manage > Software
    3. Expand Software > Software Catalog > Installed Software
    4. Limit your results by using the Search bar in the right pane
    5. Right-click on the software; choose Actions > Create Installed Software Filter
    6. A dialog box appears and you will see the filter name
    7. Use the filter, or view it by going to Manage > Filters, then expanding Filters > Software Filters

    The filter will update automatically as your inventory is updated.  For example, as computers in a Office 2007 SP1 filter receive SP2, they will drop out of the filter.

    Does this help?
