Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager integration requires the following prerequisites: If all file data is collected, a file size of between 5 and 10 MB for a single host is not uncommon, and the SQL server must be dimensioned to handle this. To produce the best possible scan result using SCCM, the Software Vulnerability Manager uses a relatively broad pattern, which could lead to large amounts of data being collected. The inventory agent is configured by a set of simple rules that govern which files are queried.
