Hello,
we are tracking some issues on our clients which do not show new advertisements in software center, or still show old advertisements that have been deleted long ago. we have a question about appdiscovery.log.
we noticed that on some clients, the AppDiscovery.log file contains information that a "full application discovery" is run, e.g.:
++++++ Starting full application discovery on WMI namespace: root\Microsoft\policyplatform ++++++ AppDiscovery 22.10.2014 18:19:09 5664 (0x1620)

.... and so on, until:
+++++++ Full application discovery completed (2 seconds) ++++++ AppDiscovery 22.10.2014 18:19:11 5664 (0x1620)
on most other clients however, we do not see this kind of information, only some lines for a few applications, example:

why the difference in logfile contents? what is causing sccm to run a "full application discovery" instead of only running a discovery for some applications (looks like a kind of "delta discovery")?
can the full discovery be triggered somehow manually? we tried to modify "schedule re-evaluation for deployments" in a test client policy. this seems to have no effect.
thanks to everyone who can give me some insight on this.
