Can we please have search rules for Unmanaged Software?

Dear Symantec,

If we like an application, then we can gather the different versions and names for the Software Components and put them into Software Products, which means that these are automatically dealt with.

However, at the moment, we have a lot of software (drivers, etc) which is turning up in the Newly-discovered Software of the Software Library. When I say, "a lot", we are talking in the tens of thousands of Software Components. This is meaning that it is taking us a very long time to sort through these and mark them as Unmanaged.

So, we would like to find and immediately set to Unmanaged certain pieces of software that fit in with similar search criteria to the Inventory Search for Software Products, such as +driver and +printer, etc. This process would need to be run in the NS.Nightly AFTER the search rules for Software Products, to make sure that the Software Products took precedence over Unmanaged software search rules.

Included in this could be a report of Newly-Discovered Unmanaged Software, so that these could be quickly checked and reassigned, if needed.

This would drastically reduce the amount of administration of the Newly-discovered software in an organisation.

So, can we please have search rules for Unmanaged Software?

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni
