Is there anyway to report installed application and their properties

[shmeeus]

Hello,

Is there a way to create a report in WebReport that list devices with a specific application installed and properties about that application

ex: If I would like to find all devices that have Winrar installed, what is the architecture (32or64bit) and version of WinRar is installed.

If this is not possible in WebReports, is there any other way for me to find it?

@shmeeus, do you have the BES Inventory and License external site activated in your BES environment and have endpoints reporting to it? If so, then you could activate the Application Information (Windows) analysis (ID#34).

Then build your WebReport leveraging a contains relevance statement looking for the software in question. If the above isn’t sufficient, then you’ll likely require a custom fixlet + analysis OR deploy BigFix Inventory. I hope this helps.

When i was a customer i liked to create a property for each of the applications I deployed in my environment. So if say i am packaging Winrar for a deployment or want to know the version i would create a property for that application. I created a software version analysis for this very thing that would evaluate the different applications. I uploaded an example here https://bigfix.me/analysis/details/2998617 This is different examples of properties and you can just copy and paste the relevance for the application you are looking for. This article also steps out how to create this analysis with the different software properties at the bottom https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bigfix-smart-software-deployments-brad-sexton/ Hope this helps

I want to 2nd the suggestion by cmcannady that this is exactly the sort of thing BigFix Inventory was designed for: https://www.hcltechsw.com/products/bigfix/offerings/inventory
