I've been tasked with creating a report of all software titles and number of installations. Looking through the forums, I determined that this was not easily done through the 32 bit console, but through the webconsole I built a query with the atttribute to display - application suite and use the count feature to give me what I need. Well, it gave me too much, including service packs, windows updates, plus a line for each version of the product. Something on the order of 6,500 Excel rows. I can eliminate the patches and updates through the search criteria, but am left with numerous instances of product like Adobe Acrobat and Illustrator. I need to get down to the total installations for each product with all the different iterations merged together.
Is there a way to normalize the data within Landesk or am do I need to purchase another product to perform this function such as Managed Planets DTS application.
