Installed Programs (Query)

Use the Task Query Installed Programs to obtain an overview of applications that have been installed on Agents and check where/whether these applications have been installed. For example, this allows you to determine which computers lack Microsoft Office and subsequently install Microsoft Office on these computers, using the Task Invoke Windows Installer.

If you schedule a recurring Job with this Task and view the results of this Job, the Job History tab in the detailed results window will display changes as they occur when comparing the query results with previous query results. Depending on the configuration of the query, this allows you to track changes in installed applications, printer drivers, services, shares, etc.
