Re: Manual discovery of programs after new xp installation

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

We use a script that triggers a collection update as well.
We have a collection per hardware model, the script checks the model and
updates the relevant collection.
Immediately after this we trigger the script to trigger machine updates.

Takes about 2 minutes before applications start rolling in.
