Command-line | Registry

 

Specifies whether or not to calculate the MD5 digest of any file being tracked by the inventory agent and include it with the stored inventory data. MD5 digests, if included in the inventory, are used as key to uniquely identify files. If an MD5 is not present, files are identified by date and file size. MD5 digests are more reliable for this purpose, but be aware that calculating MD5 digests will degrade the performance where many files are being tracked.

 

This use of MD5 digests is unrelated to the comparison completed by the installation agent prior to downloading and installing files.
