Hi, thanks a lot for your response, so, the way to do it would be with a script that runs for example, on a monthly basis, reporting which software was installed this month or something like that. So, if we would want to get alerts on real time, maybe we could set an INSERT trigger on that table right? (or run a script that checks the installation date on a daily or even hourly basis) Knowing when a program appears on Add/Remove Programs would be enough, extra things like detecting new exe's on a workstation would be nice also, but my main concern is how the server would alert the sysadmins. There isn't an alert system built into SCCM? I'm OK with using a script, but I know managers would prefer to see something that can be configured using the tools SCCM provides. Regards

Hi everyone, we are thinking about deploying SCCM in our organization, and one of the main needs is to get software inventory from all the workstations in the corporate network (we are also going to use it to manage patches). I know we can get software inventories from SCCM, but we also need to get an alert from the server when new software is installed on workstations (preferably via email). I've been searching around and I can't find a way to do this, is it possible to get alerts from SCCM when new software is installed on workstations? or should we use another software for this? Thanks in advance
