Collecting Unix Software Inventory Information?

I have imported the server names of 155 servers. I have successfully collected the server hardware information, but very limited software information. I am looking for version and COTS software installed, not just the base unix software stack. Any suggestions on adjusting the scripts to be able to collect this detail level of information?

Take a look at that device in Resource Explorer. Notice that on a 64-bit device there is an 'Installed Applications' class and and 'Installed Applications (64)' class. This data comes from the registry, and on a 64-bit operating system there
are actually two separate 'Add/Remove Programs' lists that are aggregated in the OS user interface.
If in Resource Explorer you see all of the software you expect to see, but not in the report, it is likely because the report is only looking at the 'Installed Applications' class and and not 'Installed Applications (64)' class.
If you enable the 'Installed Software' class (either by going into the client settings or the AI node), you will notice that the 'Installed Software' class is a combined version of both the 32-bit and 64-bit applications. This is much easier to report
off of.
I hope that helps,

Software Inventory and Reporting Services Seems Broken..

Some basic info...
Server 2012, SQL 2012, SCCM 2012 R2. All products up to date. Enviornment has been running for about 2 weeks, with all the test clients being brought in a few days after server install.
I went to run the report "Computers with a specific product" two days and when I went to select my product, there were no values, as if the inventory process wasn't working. I verified in client settings and also saw that hardware inventory data
was coming back. I can run any of the hardware related reports and they have data.
I did add a couple inventory classes (Installed Executable & Installed Software) to see if that would help, but it did not. I've forced policy updates and run inventories again, still blank. Looking at InventoryAgent.log, it appears everything looks
good. I see the 4 software classes reporting back.
There is probably something simple that I'm missing, but I can't found out what that is.
Edit: Forgot to post the InventoryAgent.log file... http://pastebin.com/AkTWQurp

This goes back to the basic definitions of what the two different types of inventory actually do. Software Inventory is actually a file inventory and by default in 2012 collects *nothing*. To have it collect information about exe's, you would add *.exe (preferably
scoped to just C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (X86)) to the software inventory configuration. This enables ConfigMgr to gather data from the PE header of the exe files which in turn is used for the report you called out (and others listed as Software
Inventory).
The question though is do you truly want information about exes or do you actually want information about installed applications? Just because an exe exists does not mean an application is actually installed. That's where Add/Remove programs information
potentially comes in. Information in Add/Remove Programs is *not* collected by Software Inventory though -- as mentioned Soft Inv collect file information. ARP data is collected via WMI by Hardware Inv in ConfigMgr. To get this info, use one of the reports
that lists info from ARP. This is collected and is available by default.
ARP isn't the end all be all either and that's where Asset Intelligence comes in. AI is a layer of intelligence on top of Hardware Inv that collects additional details and adds reports that takes the raw ARP data and combines it with other evidence to give
you better information about "Installed Software". The AI reports are conveniently under the AI folder in the reports. AI is not however enabled by default so you must enable it.
Finally, even AI is not perfect because, as we all know users aren't actually the only bane of our existence but so are vendors who do non-standard things. That's where third-parties like BDNA come in come that provide even better interpretatin of the raw
data collected by ConfigMgr.

Default software inventory not collecting any data from client

Hi Team,
I have enabled software inventory in global level and set it to weekly once .. But during the Software inventory scan , it is not capturing anything and Software scan date is showing as null ...
The below settings are enabled for my software inventory :
1) Enable Software inventory on Client = Yes
2) Schedule software inventory = Weekly once
3) Inventory report details = Full details
4) Inventory these file types = (none)
5) Collect Files = (none)
I am getting the below information from Client log (InventoryAgent.log)

Here is the log details. I also reimaged this machine fresh. It is as clean as can be. Thanks for the look over. never had this issue with 2007. Again, I am building some collections based on this .flg file which is 0KB.

Software Inventory - MDM

is it possible that Intune's software inventory collections information only from Windows 7\8 devices and not from mobile devices?!
I have both iOS and Android devices enrolled to my tenant. when I try to generate a software report on the mobile devices group I get empty results
Tamir Levy

I know this is old but I’m trying to clean up old posts. Did you ever solve this? If so it would be good if you could post the solution to assist others. If not, at this stage,
as nobody has answered, I would recommend that you call Intune support.
You will find your local Intune support number here

OE/software inventory repository

My group is assuming sys admin responsibility for a collection of Solaris v2.8 servers. One thing we'd like to do is create a server resident container of information listing installed OE and software, version info, patch levels, package information, etc. The goal is to provide a convenient and consistent point of reference for sys admins for this inventory information. We've considered simply creating a text file to hold the info. My question is: what's a good way to address this? Is there a "best practice" for tracking and storing this type of info?

That's a great idea! I hope that some good ideas get posted so I can do the same thing.
Here's my two cents...
Create a script that will regularly gather the information you require and throw it on a share. Ideally all the software has been added to your systems via the pkgadd command. It should be fairly easy to automate something like a "pkginfo -x". I suppose you can check for the latest OS patches with a "showrev -a" automatically too. (I suppose you could also use this to keep track of misc changes to the system also.)
If you're like me, much of the application/database software has been added without pkgadd, so I suppose that won't work with everything.
Just an idea. I hope others post their thoughts.

Normalize Software Inventory

We use SCCM 2007 R3 in our environment. Enabled Asset Intelligence Six Months ago.
However, Count of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs report still has lots of Duplicate and garbage data.
Is there a report, which can provide the normalized Software Inventory report which lists only Licensable products rather than all the freewares.
I would require the report with following information.
Product Name
Vendor
Count of Installation
Licensable (Y/N)
Please help.

Hi,
No, there is no such report that filters out freeware, I am sorry to say. You woiuld have to do that yourself. The Count of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs isn't cleaned up when you enable asset intelligence, you will
get additional reports and the possibility to import your licenses.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712322.aspx
All Assett Inteligence reports are listed here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712316.aspx
There are a couple of 3rd party products just for this reason, from BDNA, 1E and Snow Software for instance that provides you with this capability.

Using Adobe's SMS Rporting Tool kit - Software Inventory

I’m using SMS Reporting tool kit ver 4.0, with SCCM 2007 R3. Is there a newer version?
1. How long would it/should it take for SCCM to query 2500 systems in SCCM for Adobe SWTAG files? The current scan has been running for about 3 hours now.
2. Will the SWTAG scan pick up more recent Adobe CS5/6 products?
3. I added SWTAG file collection in SCCM software Inventory. Inventory has run on many systems, but I cannot run a SCCM query to locate systems with these files. Does anyone have a SCCM query to find these systems with SWTAG files?
I have looked on other Adobe/Microsoft forums with little success.

I have seen you have posted around the web about this. This forum is for Adobe Business Catalyast, their website CMS system.
Like others have said to you - I have also never heard about this.
You have the adobe file tagging which iuses SWTAG - http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2009/11/software_tagging_in_adobe_prod_1.html
But I know nothing of SMS reporting tool etc. What ever that is you need to contact the vendor for it.

Duplicate software inventory records ....

I am getting duplicate software inventory records for the same machine in the MAP 9.0 database. I was under the understanding that once a machine was successfully scanned, additional inventory records
for that machine would not be added during subsequent scans.
After 4+ scans, we are seeing the same software title show up multiple times on the same machine. For example, using
the product name of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 as an example, I get a count of 405. But there is only about 250 unique computer names with this product. Some machines are listed twice, some triple, some quadruple just for this one
product (even if the ProductVersion is identical). We did 4 scans of the network in order to capture all machines, including any that hadn’t been inventoried. So I’m not sure why it captured some machines more than once and others only the one time.

Question: just to confirm, the de-duplication process (for generating standard pre-built reports/worksheets) in MAP 9.0 will NOT remove machines with different hashes, correct?
Correct
Question: does the issue you raise have anything to do with doing an AD only scan then an IP one (or the reverse) or would just a combined one (AD and IP) also lead to similar issues?
If you use one discovery method on the first inventory scan, then use a different discovery method that does not include the host name, such as IP address, on a subsequent run, it is possible that you will see duplicate results, although I've found it to
be less likely.
Question: Is any inventory data populated in MAP 9.0 for a machine that does not "successfully" complete its scan?
If you use the AD DS discovery method, then MAP will populate some information, such as OS, from fields in the AD object properties.
Question:
>> I need to point out that any device with a WMI status of anything
>> other than success cannot be de-duplicated, so it will show up regardless.
Can you be more specific. Where will it show up? (i.e. in which MAP reports)?
The Inventory Results report has a list of all host names discovered. If IP discovery was used, then any IP address that had something connected to that IP but MAP was unable to establish a connection to will show up with the IP address for the computer
name in that report as well. There are several other reports throughout the tool that display machines for which MAP failed to connect, but the Inventory Results report is what I was referring to specifically.

How to start BusinessObjects Software Inventory Tool?

Hi there,
I've got a BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Installation on Linux and I'm searching the Software Inventory Tool.
But I don't find the directory..
Thanks and best regards,
Max

Hi,
You can login to the Central Management Console and select Settings link.
In the settings link Product version information will be displayed like, Product Version: 12.X.X.XXX.
In the above version type, 12 is major release type and second 'x' is of service pack. So, if you have 12.3.X.XXX then you have the XI3.1 SP3 installed.
Now, if you want to know what's the Fix packs has been installed then the third 'X' gives the details, So, if have the version like 12.3.3.XXX then you have XI 3.1 SP3 FP3 with XXX as the build.
-Noor.

SCCM 2012 - Software Inventory Timeout

Hi,
I'm currently using SCCM 2012 R2 in my environment and we are inventorying PST files on our Server collection. The PST Software Inventory job is timing out after 4 hours on some of the servers, which leads to incomplete reporting. I believe the
timeout is occurring due to a large number of compressed files and folders within the directory structure on the servers that are experiencing the issue. We are unable to disable compression on these files and folders. We are also unable to specify
individual paths for scanning as we are trying to discover all PST files on our network.
My questions: Is there a way to increase the timeout settings of the Software Inventory job or is there a different workaround for the above? Is there a way to increase the local cpu priority for the Software Inventory job?
Regards,
Joe Coviello

It's not timing out due to the compressed folders, it's timing out due to the shear number of overall files that on on your file servers.
No, there is no supported way to increase the timeout.
For file servers, ConfigMgr is not the tool of choice -- you should be using FSRM or something similar.

Software Inventory - File Types Question / Issue

Hello,
I am having an issue at my site that I hope someone can help me out with. Basically, my office is currently undergoing a software audit and they have something connected to my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment that is reading software inventory. To save
the boring details, they told me that I needed to go into the Software Inventory and under the file types, add *.exe with all other settings as default.
My manager did not want to turn this on for the entire company immediately so he asked that I target the IT department for this change during the afternoon. So I created a new policy with only Software Inventory withthe settings that the auditor told
me to put and scheduled it to run daily at 2:00 PM with start date of today. I then deployed this to a preexisting Collection that had all IT computers in it. I completed this task by 11:00 AM, figuring that has given me plenty of time to allow
for the policy to filter down. I forced a Machine Policy refresh on a few machines.
So at about 2:30 PM, I checked my InventoryAgent.log and nothing. It doesn't appear to have run at all. I began to do some research and found that I had to turn on a series of items in Asset Intelligence > Edit Inventory Class, which I did.
I then refreshed my policies manually and then triggered the Software Inventory manually. I watched the log again and got this

Software Inventory and Asset intelligence (hardware inv.) are unrelated. Just be patient - it might take some time.

Hardware and Software inventory data shows blank in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I have this issue. When i try to view the inventory data for hardware and software it shows blank data. Below is the screenshot of that. Mine is a lab setup and i have only 2 clients configured.
I am using the default client settings which comes with priority of 10000. I altered the inventory setting to pull .dll and .exe files with changing the interval. But still the same issue. I analysed the InventoryAgent.log and found the below error on both
the clients.
Inventory: 1 Collection Task(s) failed.
InventoryVersionNumber for '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}' not found.
CInvState::CheckInventoryAgentConfig: Get() failed: 80041002
Can any one please help.
Gautam.75801

Hi Garth,
A reboot just fixed the issue on that system in which the options are not coming to run the setup manually.
As i had hibernated the VM's and the server in which those options were not coming is the physical box hosting the VM's (SCCM server and one more client). The physical box is also acting as a client and the SQL server holding the SCCM Database.
Now things which need to be troubleshooted are:
1. Why is it Hardware inventory report appearing after running the setup manually and not appearing automatically.
2. The software inventory report is not appearing at all even after it is being run manually.
Below is the screen shot of the default client settings policy i am using.
Software inventory:
Hardware inventory:
My LAB setup is as follows:
SCCMSVR.labtest.com - Is the SCCM server and Fail back status point, Asset intellegence sync
point and etc.
Server.labtest.com - Is the Domain controller, SQL server
SCCMTEST.labtest.com - A testing machine to push the client and to deploy patches in it.
Site code is LAB
Grath - What do you suggest is the next Plan of action which you suggest ?

I want to share the link and post the:

there is no easy way to post this or forward without sending the entire page link and nobody will touch those if something like a preview doesn't show up, just looks like a bunch of unsafe links to most people, you need to have a share button on this if you really want us to share it

Heres the link to "Take action" http://mzl.la/1CgTnKg. In the future if you want to copy links, right click the address bar, and the whole link should be selected, then click "Copy" in the menu that comes up.
