This section explains how to specify count conditions in the Condition Settings dialog box of the Count Clients wizard. The condition values you can set depend on the inventory item. This section first describes the common settings in the Condition Settings dialog box, and then describes the settings specific to various inventory items. It also shows examples of count results.
Figure 4-11 Condition Settings dialog box
![[Figure]](FIGURE/VIE0110.GIF)
To set count conditions, in the Inventory tree view, select the inventory items for which you want to count hosts. Then, in the Condition value pane, specify a count condition and click Add Condition. The specified count condition is added to the Conditions list below.
To set count conditions based on combining several inventory items, use the Count/view conditions pane to select whether to handle the conditions as combined conditions or separate conditions. For example, if you wish to count hosts by selecting CPU type and OS, you would select Combined conditions in order to count the number of hosts that satisfy both the CPU type and the OS. With this counting, for example, you could check the number of hosts whose CPU type is Intel Pentium III and OS is Windows 2000 Professional. If you select Separate conditions, Inventory Viewer would display separate count results for CPU type and for OS.
Figure 4-12 Example of count results for Combined conditions and Separate conditions
![[Figure]](FIGURE/VIE0120.GIF)
When you select Combined conditions, AND is displayed at the beginning of the Condition column in the Conditions list. The count conditions displayed in the Conditions list are combined sequentially starting at the top.
You should note the following about combining multiple inventory items in setting count conditions:
- In general, you cannot use the same inventory item in more than one condition. However, Installed package, Software inventory, Microsoft Office product information, and IE patch information can be used in multiple conditions.
- You can set up to 10 separate conditions and up to two combined conditions.
- The following inventory items cannot be used to set combined conditions:
- Usable system resource size, Usable user memory size, Free space, Partition size, and Installed RAM
- Any combination of individual items under Installed package and a host for which installed package information has not been acquired.
- Any combination of a host from which software inventory information has been acquired and a host from which software inventory information has not been acquired.
- Any combination of individual items under Anti-virus product information and any other inventory item (excluding combinations of virus definition files and product names, and combinations of residency setting and product names)
- Any combination of Microsoft Office product information and other inventory items
- Inventory items for which Condition value cannot be set and inventory items for which any character string can be set for Condition value, and for which there are more than five inventory information types. For example, if there are more than five CPU clock speeds for the machines in the system configuration (such as 133 MHz, 200 MHz, 400 MHz, 450 MHz, 600 MHz, and 1,000 MHz), CPU clock speed cannot be used in a combined condition.

This section explains how to count hosts on the basis of names in the managed software inventory.
Because license information can be set in the software inventory, you can perform license management by counting the hosts that have selected items in their software inventory. Inventory Viewer tallies the number of hosts in which the software is installed, and for each software item sets off in different colors the Number of owned licenses and the Number of licenses for warning.
For details about how to manage acquired software information and how to set license information, see 3.2.5 Filtering a software inventory.

(4) Counting hosts by Microsoft Office products
You can count the number of hosts with each Microsoft Office product. However, the components of a Microsoft Office product cannot be counted. The components of a Microsoft Office product refers to multiple software products, such as Microsoft Word, that are bundled into Microsoft Office.
Although you can count Microsoft Office products on the basis of installed packages, counting the number of hosts in which Microsoft Office products is installed eliminates the task of extracting Microsoft Office products from installed packages.
To count hosts by Microsoft Office products, you must first collect information on these products by choosing Search for Microsoft Office products in the Options page for creating a Get software information from client job.

Examples of count results
See the count results examples in (3)(a) Counting by virus definition files above.
This section explains how to count the numbers of managers, relay systems, and clients.
When a relay manager/system and client reside on the same computer, that host is counted only as a relay manager/system. However, when the central manager and a client co-exist on the computer that is performing the count, that computer is counted only as a client.
When you select an offline folder and offline machines as count targets in the Host-selection window, the offline folder is counted as a relay system and the offline machines are counted as clients. For details about offline folders and offline machines, see 7.7.2(3) Collecting information from an offline machine.
Condition value settings
In the Inventory tree view, select Host type.

You can count the number of hosts by each of the system information items listed below. There are five patterns of condition values that you can set, as explained in paragraphs (a) to (e) below.
To count hosts by system information, you must have already acquired the system information. If you select Unknown hosts (System information) in the Inventory tree view of the Condition Settings dialog box, you can count the hosts for which system information has not been collected.

- Select this check box when you want to count hosts for the user inventory items not selected in the Select user inventory list. When this check box is selected, you cannot set a combined condition.
- When you select this check box and add a condition, NOT is displayed after the selected user inventory item in the Condition column in the Conditions list.
Note
If a selection item is duplicated within a hierarchy of user inventory items, it appears as a single summarized entry in the Select user inventory list. The count for that selection item is the sum of the individual counts. For example, if a user inventory item has been created as in the figure below and the client computers are counted by section, the count for the Management section is the total number of computers in the Management sections of the Development department and the General Affairs department. If you require separate counts, you must use a combined condition of the higher item (Department) and the lower item (Section). To generate meaningful results, make sure that you fully understand the structure of user inventory items. For details about hierarchical user inventory items, see 3.3.2(5) Procedure for creating hierarchical user inventory items.
