Inventory of a File with a Path Defined Will Fail

MORE INFORMATION

To create an inventory package:

1. Open the Packages window and choose "New."
2. From the Package Properties window, choose "Inventory." This presents the Setup Package For Inventory window.
3. Check the Inventory This Package box and choose "Add AND..." to present the File Properties window.
4. Define the file name of the file you want to inventory on the client. For example, Autoexec.bat.)
5. Check "Collect This File" if you want SMS to retrieve a copy of the file to the server.
6. Click "OK" until you return to the Packages window.

NOTE: There is no job required to distribute inventory packages to clients; this is done automatically.

In step 4, if a directory path is included with the file name (for example, "C:\Autoexec.bat"), the file would not be found or collected by the SMS Client when inventory was collected.
