Software Inventory
The Software Inventory section of client settings controls how software inventory is collected. It is enabled by default with the schedule of every seven days.
It is recommended that the schedule be changed to every one days, to ensure that software reporting is as current as possible.
Unfortunately, in SCCM 2012 the inventory file types is blank. This means that no files will be inventoried by default. In previous versions of SCCM, all EXE files were inventoried out of the box. It is recommended that organizations inventory at a minimum all EXE (*.exe), all DLL (*.dll), and all PST (*.pst) files. Figure 3.18 shows the recommended file inventory types.
