Computer Age Custom Report

Question

We were trying to run a custom report to determine the age of our computers in our environment.  Has anyone come up with a decently accurate sql query that could determine the age of machines and then a final count for each year?

Answer 1

Here is the query our DBA and I came up with. Our asset group uses it to determine end of life for workstations.
select distinct
       CS.name0 as 'Server Name',
wks.LastHWScan as 'Last Checked in',
       sys.user_name0 as 'User Name', 
       sys.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0 as 'Computer Domain',          
       usr.department0 as 'Department', 
       BIOS.ReleaseDate0 as 'BIOS Manfacture Date',
       OS.InstallDate0 as 'OS Install Date',
       OS.Caption0 as 'OS', 
       CU.Manufacturer0 as 'Manufacturer', 
       CU.Model0 as 'Model',
       RAM.TotalPhysicalMemory0/1024 as [RAM (MB)], 
       processor.Name0 as 'Processor'
from 
       v_r_system_Valid sys, 
       v_r_user usr,  
       v_R_System CS, 
       v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM OS,
       v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM CU,
       v_GS_X86_PC_MEMORY RAM,
       v_GS_PROCESSOR Processor,
       v_GS_PC_BIOS BIOS,
  v_GS_WORKSTATION_STATUS wks
where 
       sys.User_Name0 = usr.user_name0 and
wks.ResourceID = cs.ResourceID and
       sys.Netbios_Name0 = CS.name0 and
       OS.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID and
       CU.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID and
       RAM.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID and
       Processor.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID and
       BIOS.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID and 
       CS.Operating_System_Name_and0 LIKE '%nt%workstation%' and CS.Client0 = 1
Order by
       CS.name0, wks.LastHWScan
If I remember right, the usr.department was a custom AD attribute we gathered, if you aren't gathering that information, might take out the lines that reference that to get it to work.
