sccm 2012 "Computers with a specific file" not finding files
I have set the software inventory t find the file "mcconsol.exe". When checking the logs on a client I see that it has found the file. But when running the report and entering the file that I searching for, it never finds a system with the file on it. Even though the logs show it's been found.

It's not a hidden file. I see it in the folder and sccm shows in the log on the client that it finds the file when preforming a software inventory scan.

I guess I do not understand "it never finds a system with the file on it." Do you mean your Search engine is not working. Have you Indexed appropriately?

When I run the report "Computers with a specific file" and I list the file that the software inventory is collecting. The report always comes back empty.
Under Software Inventory in Client settings, you are inventorying all *.exe files under Set Types?
What is the software inventory cycle set to? I think the default is 7 days. If that's the case, you won't get results back for 7 days if this is a new install. Mine is set to 1 day.

Under "Inventory these files types" I have nothing set.
But under Collect files" I have mcconsol.exe set to be found.
I also set the scan to run every 2hrs while I working to figure this out.
Do I need to set "exe.*" under "Inventory these files types"

Could it be a hidden file?
To show all hidden folders and files
1) In Explorer, click Organize in ToolBar|click "Folder and Search Options"|View|uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"|Yes|Apply|OK.
2) And if not already done, under "Hidden Files and Folders", check "Show hidden files, folders,..." and uncheck "Don't show hidden files, folders...".
