Hi guys,

My manager and I have been rolling this out and it's been pretty much self teaching as neither of us have much experience in it.
We're slowly getting it up and running and recently did an asset intelligence scan on the network to discover what software had been installed on client machines, it has returned various software in the results and the software count but I don't know where to look to display which PC has certain software installed? Unfortunately it isn't a case of double clicking on the product name in inventoried softare!

Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks

Andy
 
I'd go via the web interface for the reporting point.

Are you wanting a list of software on a specific PC, or a list of PCs with specific software?
 
List of PC's with the software.

We haven't done much with the reporting side of things, I guess it's time to set that up!
 
You need to setup reporting on the box. I believe this requires SSRS.

I'll have a look tomorrow but I'm pretty confident on the SSRS side.

Yeah, it's pretty handy as the reports link up, so for example you can click the PC name from the list and get some system information etc. I tend to head straight for that rather than using the console.

It's not that difficult to setup if you've installed the SQL Server Reporting Services.

I'll check when I get into work to find the name of the report.
 
Have a look under :
Software - Companies and Products > Count of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs
 
I'm not sure if ours is setup differently, under reports I just have a list of templates or reporting. Over 400 in total rather than sub sections which sounds like yours is setup like?
 
That sounds like the reporting bit in the Console. You can get access to the reporting via a Web Browser. URL is something like http://<FQDN of SCCM server>/Reports.

Pick the folder for your site name, then you should get a list of about 50 report categories. I find it easier to use the web browser as I can bookmark the reports I use most often to check status of deployments etc.

Edit : Go to Monitoring then Reporting in the console, and there will be a Report Manager weblink at the bottom.

You can also use the separate tool SCCM Client Centre to connect to clients and get lots of info on them such as installed programs, re-run any advertisements, check maintenance windows etc. It's a very handy tool when dealing with specific machines.

Thanks, where would I find this tool?

Edit: Do you mean in Ops Manager? I think I've seen the option for that now yeah.
 
More trivial questions for you guys, I've deployed a few apps out to PC's, just VLC Player and some others, in theory I should be able to uninstall these sat at my desk should I not?
 
It depends if the app is listed as available or required, but it's easier to push a script to that computer (with SCCM) to uninstall using msiexec x
 
Cheers guys, read up about it.

Last thing, back to reports, is there one that I can measure CPU usage on a specific PC?

Not really. You'd need SCOM for that, unless again, you scripted a packaged which read the CPU data over a period of time, used SCCM to deploy that package to the device and then pulled the file back.

Believe it or not, probably easier to install and configure SCOM.
