The citmdrv.sys process is a system driver utility file that is used and referenced by the IBM Tivoli software, which also means the citmdrv.sys file is distributed alongside other SYS driver files, certain modular DLL (Dynamic Link Library) resources, some executable program files, specific background and system process items among various components that are used by the IBM Tivoli application. This software is classified as a Windows network information management program developed by IBM with a set of features for gathering and organizing network server and client computer hardware specifications, information and license or registration details of installed applications in connected network servers and client systems, file system information and registry data among other network details. The citmdrv.sys file is specifically deployed as a main component of the Common Inventory Technology module, which is an applet built into the IBM Tivoli software.
