2 parts: Find Files vs Dir /s /a ; How to store "find files" results in a file

An analysis is fine for getting specific results of specific files, or if you run a command and output the results to a log, then read that log with the analysis. It is a bad idea to actually perform the find files function using relevance in an analysis property because it will run multiple times on a client and potentially stall the client while it is running and timeout.

You can tell an analysis property to only run once every 30 days or something similar, and that will help lower the impact.

I use analyses and analysis properties for lots and lots of things, but this is one I would recommend being careful with.
