Software 'last used date' report

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

My stakeholders are in need of a report to show the ‘last used time’ of a particular application in order to remove any underutilized software.

Has anyone done anything simular? What would I target on the endpoint to return this?

This sounds like a job for “DSS SAM Man”! All joking aside, have you looked at our

DSS Software Asset Management product

… it lives and breathes to strike out against the crime of underutilized software.

I agree, that would resolve this. unfortunately decided against the DSS SAM product at this time. I hope there is another way to build this into my environment.

Sorry… DSS SAM’s basic job is to do exactly what you are looking for… If you were dedicated enough, you could probably try to re-implement it based on BigFix functionality, but we already did that for you and we can tell you that it is not a small task… :slight_smile:
