Re: Software Inventory - Local Policy Override of Site Server Settings?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Thierry,

I have used the skpswi.dat file to effectively disable the two test machines
but I don't like this solution as local drives (or virtual local drives) can
be added and it will then include them in the scan. Also, if this becomes
common knowlege amonst the users they'll all be writing skpswi.dat files to
their drive roots (well at least the workstation admins will!).

I will try the Magic MOF solution and the CCM scheduler override instead.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Andrew
