Provide Detection Method Information for the Configuration Item
Use this procedure to provide detection method information for the configuration item.
A detection method in Configuration Manager contains rules that are used to detect whether an application is installed on a computer. This detection occurs before the configuration item is assessed for compliance.
To detect whether an application is installed, you can detect the presence of a Windows Installer file for the application, use a custom script, or select Always assumeapplication is installed to assess the configuration item for compliance regardless of whether the application is installed.
