Computers with this AND that installed

I'm trying to get a report for all PCs which have Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook installed separately.

It sounds simple, but I've been trying for ages and just can't get it to work.

Thanks

Rich

Hi Rich,
I know this comes late, but in case you weren't able to resolve this or others are having difficulty with scanning for multiple applications, I thought I'd offer a possible solution. See the attached images for reference.

In the image, This_AND_That-nowork, you get the impression that filtering will return all computers that Have Outlook AND Office installed, but this is not correct. What this is saying is:
- List all computers with an application name that contains Outlook AND
- Where that application name [Outlook] matches the following expression...
The reason for this is to group similar things. For instance, I want to find Office versions greater than 15. In this case, you want it grouped so that you match: Computer has Office AND version > 15. Both conditions must match for one application (Office) to work. If it weren't built that way and you had Office version 14 and Flash version 16, it would return a true value, which you wouldn't want.

So, what you want to do (see other image, This_AND_That) is to say ALL of the following conditions must be met:
- All computers with an application name that contains Outlook AND
- All computers with an application that matches the following expression...
I hope that answers your question and explains the logic why you need to use multiple group filters.
