How to Exclude Folders from Software Inventory in Configuration Manager
You can create a hidden file named Skpswi.dat and place it in the root of a client hard drive
to exclude it from System Center 2012 Configuration Manager software inventory. You can
also place this file in the root of any folder structure you want to exclude from software
inventory. This procedure can be used to disable software inventory on a single workstation
or server client, such as a large file server.
Note: Software inventory will not inventory the client drive again unless this file is deleted
from the drive on the client computer.
