SOE Snapshot lets you capture a computer's standard operating environment (SOE). An
SOE consists of the operating system, basic system software, and the applications that
are installed for every user or every user in a department. SOE Snapshot stores this
snapshot in the form of an .SOE file, which you can import into the Software Manager
database to represent a baseline computer in your organization.
Example:
Suppose you capture the SOE and import it into the Software Manager database. Then
you capture an application, import it, and perform a conflict analysis. You might find
conflicts between the application and the SOE. ConflictManager treats the SOE as
another package against which you can find conflicts.
