Subject: [mssms] Automated Software Removal

We are trying to use a process to remove software that is not used in so many 
days.  The current process we have a collection of machines that we consider 
for removal because we know they have had hardware inventory run in the last 7 
days and a history of at least 60 days of HWI.  We use this collection to limit 
the collections for removal.

The collections for removal query the following for example chrome.exe
SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_EXECUTABLE.ExecutableName
SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName
And also queries
SMS_G_System_CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS.ExplorerFileName
SMS_G_System_CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS.lastusedtime

We seem to have issues of it removing software that was just recently installed 
and then not used right away since the install date is not always accurate in 
ARP.

How does everyone else handle  software removal for unused applications?
