Does not show Internet Explorer version?

[joffori]

I know that Internet Explorer does not show up in Add/Remove programs, but does/can TNI scan for it at all, or is this a feature we need to wait for in a future version?

No, the version of Internet Explorer is not retrieved now. We are going to add it in one of the next versions.

However "Windows Internet Explorer 7" (and perhaps IE8 also) does show up in "Add/Remove programs" and thus in the "Installed software" category.

Thanks for reminding me that IE7 shows up in Add/Remove Prorams.

Now I can determine which PCs need upgrading.

Yes, you can do that by running "Reports - Software reports - Software and licenses", right-click the item "Windows Internet Explorer 7" and select "Show computers with DON'T have this software".

Hello,

 

We have TNI 2 installed and seem to be having the same issue described above. I have tried all different types of searches and criteria. I can confirm it only have found 2 versions of Windows Internet Explorer 8 in a fleet of 130 computers in which i know we have IE7, 8 and 9 installed.

 

Is there something that needs to be added to the search criteria to get this picked up on scans.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Whether Internet Explorer is displayed in the Installed Software list (taken from "Add/Remove Programs" applet) depends on both Windows version and IE version. Instead of this unreliable system we have simply added a field "Internet Explorer version" in the "Operating system" category. You can see it in "Viewer & reports" for a single computer or build a custom table report including this field in "Table reports". Don't forget to use the search possibility to find this field in the "Available fields" column in the custom report constructor window.
