Track App usage in Windows
A customer looks to reduce app sprawl (not monitoring staff) and so wants to log applications used on Windows (domain-joined only) across the enterprise. What methods would you recommend?

Hello Karl,
You can consider using Software inventory in Defender Vulnerability Management.
It doesn't show how much time people spend using those apps, but can show the list of apps installed on each workstation.

If you just want to put content out there then News is good. We use a List so that we can have all the metadata for each posting and also export it to our public facing site. It also allows people to search or filter on things like Department, Office Location, etc.

I'd create a separate Comm site for the purpose, that way you can create a section dedicated to job posts by filtering to that site. You can probably do the same now with the new metadata options on pages by creating a news article type and requiring that to be filled out, then you can do the same as well.
But basically we do it with comings and goings, basically when new people are hired, promoted or let go/quit they show up in this section. You could do something similar with Job postings. You'll need to provide a way to demote the news via Flow or adding Promoted state to the view to be able to be changed so it doesn't show on the page when filled.

Hello did you use only out of the box features to configure your site? and what's exactly the template you are using? Thx
- Jul 24, 2018If you are thinking on using Out of the box WebParts, News one seems to be the logical choice here
- kwester-ebbinghaus-businessMay 17, 2022Iron ContributorThank you, I have considered this, drawback is that the customer has no Defender licensing yet and needs more specific information who is starting those apps, their CMDB already know all existing ones and versions.
- snajdJul 26, 2022Copper ContributorIf the customer uses ConfigMgr, you can use Software Metering to report on app usage:
