Not discovering some software on PCs

[djameson]

Hi,
I have an SMS (SP3) set up which is working very well however I wondered if anyone could shed any light on this - out of around 500 PCs, SMS is only detecting Internet Explorer on 88 machines when I know for a fact that it is installed on all machines.

Any help would be appreciated.

cheers,
Dave.

How are you determining that SMS is only detecting IE on 88 machines? Are you certain that all 500 machines are SMS clients?

Here's a simple query for iexplore.exe:
select distinct SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileVersion from SMS_R_System left join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName = "iexplore.exe"
