Does anyone know the individual processes on xp workstation that is used for
the hardware and software inventory scans? We are looking at excluding them
in the antivirus program so I would like to know.

I don't believe either one launches an actual .exe that you'd see in Task
Manager. I believe it's a svchost process for both--but I could be wrong. I
haven't actually looked at the details in a while...

Are you observing heightened AV activity during HW or SW inventory?

Is there a way to verify the actual process if it's a svchost or I thought it
was a wmiprvse.exe? My antivirus admin wants to know and I'm unsure on why so
if I could get the process that would be great!
