The Device Refresh Interval determines when the device checks the server for a change in
settings, the schedule for the next scan, the ZENworks Knowledgebase for inventory, and new
agent executables.
The refresh interval should be set so that refreshes occur more frequently than scans and less
frequently than server refreshes. The default is 12 hours.
5 In the Scan panel, configure how you want to run the scan.
Collect Software Applications: Select this option if you want to scan for software
applications installed on the device. This setting is selected by default.
Collect Software File Information: Select this option if you want to scan for software file
information that can be used to identify software products that are not recognized by the
ZENworks Knowledgebase. If you plan to create Local Software Products and add them to the
knowledgebase, this option must be selected. For more information, see
Local Software Products," on page
Collect Demographic Data: Select this option to gather demographic data from an
inventoried-only device. This data is gathered from a file on the local machine. For more
information, see
page 92.
Run DMTF Translator: Select this option if you want to run the DMTF (Desktop
Management Task Force) Translator. The DMTF translator converts the inventory data to
formats that can be used by other tools and puts it on the local machine.
6 In the Software Applications panel, configure which directories to skip.
Skipping directories is useful in limiting the scope of the scan. The directories in the list are
skipped.
To add a directory, specify a directory in the Skip Directories field, then click Add.
