Inventory Scan

The Inventory task provides information about all applications executable files stored on the client devices. Obtaining information about the applications installed on the devices can be useful, for example, for creating Application Control rules.

This feature is not supported in the KESL container.

To use the task, a license that includes the corresponding function is required.

The Kaspersky Security Center database can store information about up to 150,000 processed files. When this number of records is reached, new files will not be processed. To resume the Inventory Scan task, delete the files registered in the Kaspersky Security Center database as a result of previous inventories, from the device where Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed.
