Need to make collection Query statement by sccm 2012 sp1 for Count of Licenses by License Status

I want to make collection Query statement by sccm 2012 sp1 for all windows activated and all non-activated windows.
Ahmed Sherif

Have a look at the Software Licensing Product attribute classes when creating a Query - remember to choose
System Ressource when creating the Query. You would have to enable this class to be collected during Hardware Inventory. Go to
Client Settings -> Hardware Inventory ->
Set Classes -> Select Software Licensing Product.
This Class is part of the Asset Intelligence classes so you could enable it from there as well.
Another way to accomplish is to use Compliance Settings to get this information.
Create a Configuration item that query the Win32_WindowsProductActivation WMI Class, if you are using XP and the
SoftwareLicensingProduct class for later os´s
Add this Configuration Item to a Baseline ad deploy it to your Collections as needed.
When the Baseline has been evaluated you can use this information to create query
Machines reported as compliant is actived and machines reported as Non-Compliant is not activated.
You can read about the Win32_WindowsProductActivation WMI Class here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394520(v=vs.85).aspx
and the SoftwareLicensingProduct here:

  • Collection evaluator error in SCCM 2012 SP1

    I m getting below errors continuously in colleval.log,
    CCEPSource::GetCollectionInfo:- Collection Not Found with CollectionID=2924
    CEP-ErrorCode=-2016280319
    CEP-Failed to process Collection Extended Properties changes, Status = COLLECTION NOT FOUND FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS, changes will be retried on next processing cycle.
    But, there is no such collection id '2924' in SCCM database. Due to these continuous errors, SMS_Collection_Evaluator component is in Critical.

    Colleval.box had some CEP files (240+ files) and I deleted all of them.
    Now, Colleval.box is empty and Colleval.box\Retry folder is also empty.

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 system discovery

    Hey,
    I need to know that how does a SCCM 2012 SP1 discovers the systems.
    Is it using a  Boundary range or using the OU added in Active Directory System discovery. if suppose the systems are discovered using boundary than whats the need of adding OU in Active Directory System discovery and vice-verse. Please clear my concept
    on this.
    Thanks

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 and Exchange 2013 Connector Get-Recipient cmdlet failed

    I have been trying to get my Exchange Connector working with SCCM 2012 SP1 for a week or so now. Every post tells me that the Get-Recipient cmdlet failed is a security permissions error. I have given the service account running the connector full Exchange
    Server Management rights including Recipient Management and Organization View-Only. I have even tested remote power shell to the CAS server and run the cmdlet with no issues.
    For some reason it just does not want to work for me. Has anyone been running into this issue?

    Now before you read the following error and say oh this is a permission issue I am telling you it is not. I have given the account full Exchange admin rights and I have even tested the Get-Recipient cmdlet remotely to the Exchange server and it works with
    no issues. I have also noticed multiple forum posts with the exact same issues.
    I have noticed one thing that stands outs "Cannot bind parameter 'Filter' to the target. Exception setting "Filter": "The value "$true" could not be converted to type System.Boolean"
    I believe this issue may be related to changes in the powershell commands with Exchange 2013, but I do not know where or how to edit the ps1 script.
    I am getting the error below:
    ERROR: [MANAGED] Invoking cmdlet Get-Recipient failed. Exception: System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Cannot bind parameter 'Filter' to the target. Exception setting "Filter": "The value "$true" could not be converted to

  • Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables

    Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables is required? I thought if you are upgrading from 9i to 10g the stats in 9i become stale in 10g.
    I read a document that says you need to collect stats prior to upgrade and import them once your upgrade is done. Can someone guide me?

    I don't know where did you get these? There's some optimizer improvement and new feature in 10g. Collecting stats before upgrade and import later is unheard of.
    I suggest you check this article
    Choosing An Optimal Stats Gathering Strategy
    http://structureddata.org/2008/03/26/choosing-an-optimal-stats-gathering-strategy/
    and the white paper mentioned,

    If we use Number we cannot separate the cheque numbers with , or -

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 - How many servers do I need?

    I'm planning a SCCM test environment using SCCM 2012 SP1 with the goal of using DCIP 3.1. DCIP 3.1 only supports up to SCCM 2012 SP1. I'm new to SCCM and I'm planning to follow Kevin Holman's ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 -QuickStart deployment Guide (Sorry, I can't
    post links on the forum yet.)
    I'm using a virtual environment to build this out so I can create more machines as needed.
    In the guide two systems are used, DB3 and CM1 each with designated services. Could those services be safely installed on one machine instead of two? Why choose to split the SQL and Database Services, from the Primary Site Server, Management Server, and Web
    Console Server?
    Thank you!

    For a lab and most small(ish) production sites you can get away with 1 server.

  • Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

    Greetings everyone!
    I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
    I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
    I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
    Added them as applications to sccm software library.
    Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance. 
    But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
    I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
    My membership query-rules for this collection:
    Office 2013 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    Office 2010 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
    So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
    The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
    When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
    I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
    sites with deployment point.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    That is as expected, the new tools require Configuration Manager 2012 R2 to work. From the download page of Configuration Manager 2012 R2 toolkit.
    "Note: Items with an * are new in the R2 Toolkit and require Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager for full functionality. 
    Server Based Tools
    * DP Job Manager - A tool that helps troubleshoot and manage ongoing content distribution jobs to Configuration Manager distribution points.
    * Collection Evaluation Viewer - A tool that assists in troubleshooting collection evaluation related issues by viewing collection evaluation details.
    * Content Library Explorer - A tool that assists in troubleshooting issues with and viewing the contents of the content library"
    So you need to upgrade to R2 before you can use the new tools.

  • Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

    Hi,
    I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily. 
    I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary.  The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM.  I have other systems with
    Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
    If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
    I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
    What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
    Are there any specific logs I should check in the client?  If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
    in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 - Evil Folders in Reporting Services - What Are They and How to Remove Them

    Hello All,
    There are a lot of sub-folders in the http://CentralSiteSCCM/ReportServer. They are like:
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.0
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.10
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.100
    <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1000
    Only <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN is properly populated with the correct set of the default folders.
    Would you be so kind to advise on:
    What are they?
    How to remove them?
    What to do in order for them not to appear any more?
    Thank you very much in advance!

  • Deploy Windows 8 To Go through SCCM 2012 SP1

    First a little backgroud:
    I have SCCM 2012 SP1 with MDT 2012 Update 1 integrated. I am using an MDT UDI task sequence to deploy windows 8 and it works perfectly. My Windows 8 image is fairly thin (only containing OS updates and C++ runtimes), and I am using the MDT database
    and an MDT task sequence in SCCM 2012  to dynamically set a list of SCCM Applications to install as well as settings based on location. 
    Now I want to get Windows To Go provisioning working in SCCM 2012 SP1. I had a powershell script that preparied the drive and applied a thick image (including office and other apps) to it then updated unattend.xml with a computer name and the domain join
    info.  That worked for me however I'd like to levarage the dynamic task sequence that I described above to build these To Go sticks the same as my other Windows 8 machines without having to keep updating the thick image evertime something changes. 
    There isn't much info out there that Iv'e found on setting up SCCM 2012 SP1 to provision windows to go here are the two that I have found 
    http://ixrv.blogspot.com/2012/10/provisioning-windows-8-to-go-with.html
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651035.aspx
    I followed the instructions in the first link and was able to run the Windows to Go Creator program and apply the prestaged wim to the USB stick. I rebooted from the USB stick Windows PE started and started to run my task sequence then it errored out on
    the apply image step. At this point it occured to me that the MDT SCCM task sequence was probably not setup for prestaged media and or Windows To Go. 
    So my question is am I on the right track? Do I just need to examine each step in my task sequence and make sure that it will work properly with my Prestaged/Windows To Go stick? If so has anyone actually gotten this to work that could give me some advice?
    Or is it asking too much to have a dynamic Windows To Go task sequence and I should just be building a thick image and using a second task sequence specifically for Windows to go? 
    are there any other resources for Windows To Go with SCCM that I'm missing? 
    Thanks, 
    Tony

    First of all sorry I missed your last three posts I have to check my email notifications. I'll try to answer all of them even though I think the last part is the only one where you are still stuck. 
    When I created my prestaged media I didn't put anything into it except for the the OS image and my PE image. On the Select Application and Select Package screen in the prestaged media wizard remove any application or packages that are added automatically.
    The task sequence is supposed to be smart enough to know if the version of the package that is on the prestaged media is out of date and go to a DP to get it but that didnt work for me. The only way I was able to get it to work was to remove all the packages
    from the prestaged media even the Customsettings package, the MDT toolkit package, USMT, etc.. 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/d729d0ff-829f-4af8-91af-2131b3355fd0/
    This thread which is about prestaged media in SCCM 2007 helped me to understand how prestaged media is supposed to work. Basically what I learned is that once the computer is rebooted from the ToGo stick into PE the task sequence will run the same as any
    other task sequence installing any applications and setting up your ToGo stick just like any other computer that runs the task sequence they dont need to be in your prestaged media for this to happen. 
    You shouldn't need to worry about partitioning WTGCreator.exe will partition the ToGo stick for you I'm just using the standard MDT Integrated partitioning in my task sequence. The one thing that I did was set the Windows To Go Creator package to "run from
    distribution point" which speed things up because then it didnt download the prestaged wim then apply it to the USB drive. 
    Is it booting into PE then rebooting? Did you check the "Allow unattend operating system deployment" check box when you made your prestaged media? If so it wants you to have set the task sequence to run in a task sequence variable SMSTSPreferredAdvertID
    to the task sequence ID you want to run. I'd just remake the media and leave that box unchecked. 
    Good luck and let me know how it works for you. I'll check back sooner this time I promise.

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 OSD in 802.1X environment

    Dears, 
    we have SCCM 2012 SP1 CU5, and the network team has enabled the CISCO port security (802.1X network authentication) on the desktops VLAN and OSD is not working since then until port security is removed. i've seen some guides regarding how to make SCCM 2007
    OSD, WinPE 3.0 and 802.1X work together like : http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/lakey81/archive/2011/07/06/configuring-802-1x-network-authentication-for-winpe-3-0-and-configmgr-deployments.aspx  , but ot's very confusing.
    does anybody have the same scenario with SCCM 2012, WinPE 5.0, and 802.1X . please help me.

    Hello,
    What confused you here? 802.1X authentication is to authenticate before sending network packages. That is why we need import netwrok profile to win pe for anthentication. The point is authenticate, so I think it won't be any difference between
    ConfigMgr 2012 and 2007.          
    Another good article here:
