    Hi,

    This data isn't stored in the Inventory database so you wouldn't be able to create a collection or a report based on this data. The data can only be viewed in (almost) real time from the computer window in the Process panel.

    Shane, is there a way to hack this up, like running the command below from Deploy, piping the result to a text file on the local PC, then detecting that file/content as part of a collection?

    %WINDIR%\System32\tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq winword.exe" | find /I /N "winword.exe"

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Something like this should work. Save these as XML files and import them.

    scan profile
