How to Exclude Files From Software Inventory
|
|
|
You can create a hidden file named Skpswi.dat and
place it in the root of a client hard drive to exclude it from software
inventory. You can also place this file in the root of any folder structure you
want to exclude from software inventory. This procedure can be used to disable
software inventory on a single workstation or server client, such as a large
file server.
The Skpswi.dat file only prevents software inventory
for computer clients and does not affect mobile device client inventory.
|
|
|
Software inventory will not inventory the client drive
again unless this file is deleted from the drive on the client computer.
