SUMMARY

Software Inventory in Systems Management Server version 2.0 will scan only for file extensions that are defined in the user interface (UI), not for a specific file.

If you need to query for and find a specific file, the extension for that file must be defined in the Systems Management Server 2.0 UI. After inventory is taken and all of the files with the defined extension are found, you can run a query on the inventoried files to find the specific file you need.
