When software is uninstalled from a server in CMDB the software is not removed from the Software Installed tab list, the uninstall string is populated but software still appears on the list. Is this how it works and software is not removed from the list?

 

We do not have SAM implemented so wondering if this is a limitation of CMDB and we would need to create some scripts to clean up this.

Hi @misolarz 

I am thinking broadly here. Uninstallation is a physical activity, but how will ServiceNow know that it has been removed? If you have integrations like SCCM or Discovery, they could update the record in ServiceNow. If not, then you would likely need to manually remove it from the related list.

Here are a few links that might help in managing this process:
