Hey guys!

I need to apply an update to machines that have a program called Partner on them. This application doesn't show up in "Programs and Features" as it's a java based program. Each PC that has it will have a C:\Partner folder though. Can someone tell me how to create a Dynamic Collection that shows all PC's in the company that have a folder called Partner in the C drive root? 

Thanks so much!!

  Lee,

  You will need to add that folder as a Files & Directories Scanner to your Scan Profile.

  You could do this as a different scan profile, but if you need to know this for all computers you could also just add it to the Standard scan profile.

  Go to Options > Scan Profiles > Standard > Edit > Files & Directories > Edit

  Then you will need to add a line in the "Include Pattern(s):" field.

  I think you would need to add this: C:\Partner

  After that, every subsequent scan will check for the existence of that folder. You can then do a dynamic collection with a value filter like this:
