Description
Select this tab to specify a known as
alias that replaces a manufacturer s
company name in the compliance scan
output.
During a scan, the Known As attribute
is initially set to the file s Company
property. If the configuration file
contains an alias for the variants of that
company name, the alias is reported
instead of the Company property. This
information lets you more easily
analyze the scan data.
If you want to make any changes or
additions to the Known as or
Manufacturer Known as values, we
recommend that you make those
changes using the Software
Management Framework. The *.BLS
files at InstallDir\Altiris\Notification
Server\NSCap\bin\Win32\X86\Inventory\Application
Management will be updated for these
changes by Control Panel->Scheduled
Task->NS.File Baseline INI Creator Task
which runs by default at 2.10 AM every
day.
Enter the manufacturer s name as it
appears in the file s version properties.
To view the properties, right-click the
file in the Aliases list, select Properties,
and click the Version tab.
You can enter the manufacturer s name
and convert it to a regular expression
or enter the regular expression in this
field.
Enter the manufacturer s alias name to
be used in the compliance scan output.
Click Add to add the manufacturer s
alias name to the Aliases list. Click
Remove to remove a name from the list.
