Create inventory rules and associate them with specific
software resources in the Software Catalog. Inventory rules
can determine whether a client computer has the correct
environment for an installation of the software or whether
it has specific software installed.
The Software Catalog is part of the Symantec Management
Platform.
For more information, see the topics about creating and
editing inventory rules in the Symantec Management
Platform Help.
See “About policy applicability, compliance, and
remediation” on page 102.
Create package rule
templates in Package Rule

Configure a Source Path Update policy or create a Source
Path Update task.
See “Updating the source paths of Windows Installer

Scan computers with a
Windows Installer scan
policy. Use the Windows

Solution 6.x is now part of Inventory Solution 7.0.
For more information, see the topics about baseline

Generate a baseline that
identifies the files or registry
settings on a computer and

The Application Management agent replaces the Windows
Installer agent. You customize the Application Management
agent by opening its software resource in the Software
Catalog and modifying its command line.
The ability to edit a software resource is available in
Software Management Framework, which is part of the
Symantec Management Platform.
For more information, see the topics about command lines
in the Symantec Management Platform Help.
Change the configuration INI
file that the agent reads at
startup, or edit
command-line options for
the programs that run the
agent. Customize how the
Windows Installer
agent runs.
