Extending Reclamation process for Restricted SW that does not have an installation

Hi all, 

 

Has anyone had the need of extending the OOB reclamation process to include software that runs on a device but does not have an installation (i.e: Portable Software)?

 

I was able to identify the restricted software via ACC and I have a good idea on how I'll design the solution to make it part of the reclamation process but I was wondering if anyone has done this before that could provide some insight on their experience. 

 

Thanks,

Berny

Hi @bernyalvarado,

"ACC" is the standard short way to call the Agent Client Collector. The Agent Client Collector Is the way how ServiceNow does Agent based Discovery on devices. 🙂

Hi @bernyalvarado 

 

please check the following feature - File Signature Normalization as part of the file based discovery process.

As soon a discovered executable is normalized by a file signature, the process creates a software installation record. Based on this you can create a software model etc., and include it into the reclamation process.
