WQL : SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE vs SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS

[syparon]

Gents,

 

I'm a little bit confused with those classes ("SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE" and "SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS").

 

From my point of view "SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE" is inconsistent and does not reflect the reality but I thought that this class was an addition of SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE and SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE64 ?!

 

Any info about this ?

I found an explanation :

 

SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE is a calssed used by asset intelligence.

If it is not activated so it's not included in the hardware scan (so no info at all )

SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS is only 32 bit problems, Where as SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64 is 64 bit programs.
