Client Management Suite

Using the Right Click function on a Computer to see the "Installed Software Report" option produces a report of all Software discovered on all computers not the context of the computer I am lookling at. There is another report that is "Installed Software by Computer", I believe is more appropriate for a Right Click option on a Computer. How do I modify the Right Click option to point to the report Installed Software by Computer and pass the parameter of the computer I am looking at to the report?

Thanks,

Dodgint,

Ironically, I remember reporting this to Dev last year. They fixed it but it appears to be slated for the next release instead of anything already out.

The only way I know to do this is manually hacking the existing command. You can find the Right Click menus at Settings > All Settings > Notification Server > Right Click Menu > Actions. There is an "Installed Software Report" setting there that is read-only, but you should be able to right-click and Export it. Then, open the XML file in Wordpad or some other text editor (Notepad doesn't always format the XML properly), and find the <target> tag in it. You should see the actionUrl code indicating what it does, and it will have a Guid=*** field with the Guid to the incorrect report.  Just replace the Guid with the one for the report you want to use (make sure it's replaced anywhere in this XML, as mine shows it twice in that line) and save and import this XML back in.

Of course, back up the original XML just in case it doesn't work. :)
