Asset Intelligence - Question.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Asset Intelligence.
I have an environment with a Primary Site and 19 distribution point in different domains.
intelligence asset installed on the primary site that is the TOP LEVEL.
For it to do inventory of licenses in all other domains, I need to install a Management Point or a Primary Site for each domain?
If I have to install a primary site, need to install an intelligence asset for each site?
THANKS!!
Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

Actually, you don't need the AI Sync Point role at all to use AI. The AI sync point simply syncs the catalog with Microsoft. It has nothing to do with actually collecting the data in your infrastructure. Thus, all you need to do is enable the classes for
collection and let hardware inventory and software metering do the rest.
For client management activities in ConfigMgr, alternate domains and forest don't really matter and do not require anything special in the infrastructure to support. They simply need to be able to find the existing site roles.

Custom Report for Asset Intelligence including Collection selection

Dear all,
I'm struggling with an custom report for doing the following thing.
I have labeled software with the custom label 3 in the Asset Intelligence.
I like to create a Report where i can Choose my Collection and then the Label that should be displayed.
Similar to the Report: Software 10A - Software titles with specific multiple custom labels defined.
But i like to choose more than one Label 3.
Does anybody have something like that? Its really complicated for me to edit that report.
Thanks & Regards
Flat

Hi,
You could post this question in SQL forum to see if someone there can edit the report.
The following document could help you to custom the report.

Asset Intelligence per site licenses

Hello everyone!
I have a question on the following scenario:
One CAS on the parent company (in Europe) and two primary sites (both in South America).
I need to configure Asset Intelligence on this environment, the catch is that each country has to handle it's own licenses.
I know that I'll need to configure the Asset Intelligence on CAS, but when I import the MVLS will the licenses informations be available to all hierarchy? I wasn't able to find any official information for this specific scenario.
Thanks in advance!

The scenario cant be handled in an absolutely straightforward manner. However if you are ready to put some manual effort you can manage it to a certain extent. You can do the following things:
1. Consolidate the MVLS file and the General License Statement with requirements/inputs from all countries.
2. Run your Asset Intelligence reports based on country specific collections and modify the fields(effective licenses, Initial Diff etc) and you would have what you need.

Asset Intelligence License 01A report blank - wrong query?

I recently had a chance to dig into the Asset Intelligence License 01a report to see what it picked up about our Volume Licenses. We're currently at SCCM 2012 SP1, CU3. When we ran the report, it came up empty. We checked our Client Inventory classes and
they all looked good. We decided to open a case with PSS to see if they could help us.
The support folks took a look at the underlying SQL and discovered that it was all wrong. They replaced the existing query
declare @CodeOption int
if @ChannelCode = N'All'
select @CodeOption = 0
else if ISNULL(@ChannelCode, N'') = N''
select @CodeOption = 1
else
select @CodeOption = 2
if OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#Temp_MembLic01A') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Temp_MembLic01A
select v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID into #Temp_MembLic01A
from v_FullCollectionMembership inner join v_R_System_Valid
ON v_R_System_Valid.ResourceID = v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID
where CollectionID = @CollectionID
Select v_LU_MSProd.MLSFamilyName AS [Licensed Family Name],
v_LU_MSProd.MLSProductName AS [Licensed Product Name],
v_LU_MSProd.VersionCode AS [Version Code],
count(v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceID) AS [Inventoried Quantity],
ISNULL(v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ChannelCode0, N'') AS [Channel],
@CollectionID AS [Collection ID]
from v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE
inner Join v_LU_MSProd on v_LU_MSProd.MPC = v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.MPC0
inner join #Temp_MembLic01A on #Temp_MembLic01A.ResourceID = v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceID
Where
@CodeOption = 0 or
(@CodeOption = 1 and ISNULL(v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ChannelCode0, N'') = N'') OR
(@CodeOption = 2 and v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ChannelCode0 = @ChannelCode)
Group by v_LU_MSProd.MLSFamilyName, v_LU_MSProd.MLSProductName,
v_LU_MSProd.VersionCode,
ISNULL(v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ChannelCode0, N'')
drop table #Temp_MembLic01AThey replaced it withSelect t.FamilyName AS [Licensed Family Name],
t.ProductName AS [Licensed Product Name],
t.VersionCode AS [Version Code],
t.ChannelCode AS [Channel],
t.InventoryCount AS [Inventoried Quantity],
@CollectionID AS [Collection ID]
from dbo.fnInventoriedSoftware(@CollectionID,@ChannelCode,NULL) t
That returns data now. I wonder if anyone else out there has had the same experience.

I looked at my dataldr.log file but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Are you asking a question other than has anyone else seen this?
I personally don't understand the dataldr.log note from brijj1 either.

Asset Intelligence Update Service Point fails to update

Hello,
as the titel says, for a couple of days now, the Site- and Component Status has been showing a critical error for the Asset Intelligence Synchronization Point, stating that the Update Service Point cannot be updated.
The system running is CM 2012 SP1 CU1 on a Server 2008 R2 SP1 Host with an SQL 2012 SP1 installation on the same machine. The AI Point syncs just fine and I can't "see" any errors in daily business tasks.
The AIUSSetup.log states that AIUS.msi could not be installed. Checking the AIUSMSI.log, I find the "error": AIUSDetectDowngrade_ErrorMessage = A newer version of the SCCM Asset Intelligence Update Service Point is already installed. Which
makes the MSI abort. Seems okay to me, but it retries every 60 minutes... is this a known behaviour/error? How could I fix this or turn the update off, if the whole thing's okay?
Cheers,
Fred

It's been a while since I posted this question and I've found a way to get this running.
The entire error message is a bit confusing, as the source was simple - the AI Update Service Point Service timed out when trying to start. Manually executing AIUS.msi, thus getting access to AI_UPDATE_SERVICE_POINT under services, which did not show up
earlier, then changing the startup type to delayed and changing the ServicesPipeTimeout value to 60 seconds in the registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control) and then rebooting did the trick. Everything's working fine now.
Cheers,
Fred

Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

Dear all,
I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
between them. Why would this be?

Hi,
1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
3.No

Asset Intelligence Third Party Import File with multiple PO# for Same Software Title.

A customer of mine ask me if there is a way to import third-party license information to SCCM 2012 Asset Intelligence that contain multiple POs either from same or different vendors using one line per PO. I try using the following test input file but
if fails. If I only use a single line it works.
Name,Publisher,Version,Language,EffectiveQuantity,PONumber,ResellerName,DateOfPurchase,SupportPurchased,SupportExpirationDate,Comments
Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) MUI,Adobe Systems,11,English,3,CS10087281,XYZ,2/1/2013,,,
Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) MUI,Adobe Systems,11,English,7,CS10087293,XYZ,6/1/2014,,,
Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) MUI,Adobe Systems,11,English,2,CS10087451,RTR,7/1/2014,,
The customer wants to track each individual PO for auditing purposes. It appears the error in importing the file is due to the Name field having to be unique. One approach might be to manually totaling the licenses for a given title and adding
the POs info to the comment field. Issue with this is the administrative overhead and limiting ability to track the individual PO/license info such as Reseller Name, Date of Order, ect. I'm hoping for a workaround or is this a software limitation
and they have to look at a third party solution.
Thank You in Advance

Wally,
Thanks for the response. So far it appears to be the case because the key field is the software name so it looks like a third party tool might be needed where SCCM provides the license usage info and the tool reconciles/normalizes against purchases.

Asset Intelligence Installed Software class vs Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms and Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms64 classes

I am working on a script and I have read that using the Asset Intelligence Installed Software class would be more practical than using the Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms and Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms64 classes on a 64-bit system, because I would only have
to query just one class to get both 32-bit and 64-bit programs on a 64-bit OS.
Is this true?
Thanks

Yes, true.

Asset Intelligence, Inventoried Software is empty

Hi!
I've been spending the whole day trying to find a solution to this problem.
We have been three people looking at it, verifying every single setting there is, but "Inventoried Software" is still empty.
The classes have been marked and the clients inventory every single application.
If I run Asset Intelligence reports I get all the data, so it is inventoried. For example the report to list inventoried softwares that falls under a specific category.
The server is running CM12 R2 with CU1, but I get the same problem in my own lab that runs R2 with CU3.
I've checked every log I can find and they are looking okay, no errors, nothing.
Does someone have an answer to this?
Best regards

Thanks for the help all! It took something neither of us had, patience!!
Today the applications has started to roll in and all is well. I've added this feature many times before, but it has never taken this long for the list to populate... It came to mind that this is the first time I've done it on the R2 version, could it be
that this is the reason it takes so long?

Software Inventory / Asset Intelligence

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get an inventory of how many computers have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI (Acrobat.exe). I've followed this
link to configure Asset Intelligence, and for the most part I think it's
sort of working.
When I click on Inventoried Software, I now get a list of most of the software loaded on my clients. However, when I go to Monitoring\Reporting\Reports\Software - Files\ and then I select report, Computers with a specific file; I type the file name I'm looking
for (Acrobat.exe), and the report comes back empty.
Am I using the correct report or do I need to create my own? Basically, I'm trying to get a count of how many computers have Adobe Standard XI installed. This software was deployed using SCCM, so I'm sure I can gather that information.
Thanks!

Just to comment on this, soft inv and AI are two completely different things. AI relies on hw inv. Also sw inv in 2012 is not configured to collect anything by default.

Hi Jason,
I actually went into Software Metering and I enabled the monitoring rule for Acrobat XI Standard (Acrobat.exe), so the report I found in the AI folder is doing the trick for me.

Asset Intelligence Catalog not working

Hy
in my sccm 2012 the asset intelligence is not working the error is "connection faliled - service offline"
The log says
Asset Intelligence Catalog Sync Service Warning: 0 : Thu, 09 May 2013 10:10:09 GMT:WebException trying to download:
Status = Timeout
I use a proxy
Any ideas?

What URLs need to be accessible to the Site System for Asset Intelligence?
It's the AI Sync Point (role) which needs the connectivity, so that isn't necessarily the site server - it depends where you install the role.
The only stuff I could find (with a quick look) is that AISP uses https/tcp443, no listed URLs
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx#BKMK_CommunicationPorts
You might need to log/trace at your proxy, and build the whitelist from that?

Asset Intelligence Update Service Point fails to install

Hi,
I have one SCCM 2012 sp1 cu2 primary site running on Windows 2008 R2, and a separate SQL 2008 R2 database runnining in a cluster.
I installed the Asset Intelligence Service point using the default settings, but the component is critical.
When I look in AIUSMSI.log it tells me I do not have permissions to configure services - I am a local administrator on the primary server though and I can manuall stop and start services - error is:
Product: Asset Intelligence Update Service Point -- Error 1920. Service 'AI_Upate_Service_Point failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I ran the AIUS.msi and recieved the same error.
I went into services and stopped and restarted BITS, so my permissions seem fine. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks
Jaz

I have created a Reddit in SCCM, describing my peoblem.
Please, can anyone take a look at it?
http://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/2jbkfr/asset_inteligence_update_service_installation_ai/
it goes like this:
I have came across an error entry in Monitoring node in SCCM console. Monitoring - System Status - Component Status, there was an entry about AI Update Service giving errors like this:
1) On 10/15/14 08:38:03, component SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER on computer "SERVER FQDN" reported: Site Component Manager failed to reinstall this component on this site system.
Solution: Review the previous status messages to determine the exact reason for the failure. Site Component Manager will automatically retry the reinstallation in minutes. To force Site Component
Manager to immediately retry the reinstallation, stop and restart Site Component Manager using the Configuration Manager Service Manager.
2) Product: Asset Intelligence Update Service Point -- Error 1920. Service 'AI_UPDATE_SERVICE_POINT' (AI_UPDATE_SERVICE_POINT) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start
system services.
What I have tried to do: - Reinstall the role from ConfigMgr console
- Install the AI role manualy from .\ConfigMgr\bin\x64\AIUS.msi with elevated rights (domain admin rights) and from elevated CMD (domain admin rights) - Install the AIUS.msi with local administrator
account
Manual installation was both:
- During the time SCCM tries to reinstall the role by it self
- During the time the role isn't installed at all
- During the time the role was installed before it was uninstalled for the first time when I started troubleshooting this
Basically nothing can start the service during the installation, not even account with domain admin rights.
Do you have any idea what can I do next?
