It is possible to add inclusion rules to file inventory (see ) to be able to report any desired files, however custom inventory is a far more efficient and reliable method when there is only one desired file with the same name and location on all computers. By default file Inventory only detects detailed information for EXE and DLL files and has many exclusion rules built in to limit which folders it scans. Java is a registered trademark of Oracle and/or its affiliates.In some situations custom inventory is better than using file inventory for gathering information about a specific file type from many different computers.
