Create a query in SCCM 2012 R2 for NIC Driver Version

Hello,
Is there a way to create a query for the specific NIC driver versions with SCCM 2012 R2? For example I can do this and other descriptors for video i.e.,
select SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserName, SMS_R_System.HardwareID, SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Manufacturer, SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model, SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER.DriverVersion, SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER.Description, SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER.VideoProcessor
from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId inner join SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER on SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model
like "HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G2" and SMS_G_System_VIDEO_CONTROLLER.Description like "%intel%"
Is there a script that will give the version for NICs?
Thanks Bill

This article provides one way to do it:

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:

Create a system properties Query in SCCM 2012 r2

Hi,
I am trying to create a query to find the "Computer description" field information for devices, but i am not sure of what criteria if any to select.
I was able to successfully create a query statement that finds the description information for a device, but that pulls only the AD object field information and not the local device information as described above.

Is this the one?
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_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Description != 'Staff Device'

Create sysprepped VHD with SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I am very new to SCCM in general so please bare with me.
I manage a SCVMM 2012 sp1 environment and I would like to use SCCM 2012 r2 to manage, update and publish new VHD's. However I am having trouble creating a sysprep'd VHD. The task sequence seems to complete without issue up to the shutdown command which is
the last step in the sequence. I have pasted what I believe the issue is below. Any assistance would be great.

The "shutdown -s -t 300" step (Created as default as part of an"Install
an existing image package to a virtual hard disk" Task Sequence) will fail if it is executed directly after the "Prepare ConfigMgr Client for Capture" step. This is because
the "Prepare ConfigMgr Client for Capture" step runs Sysprep, then reboots the computer into the Windows PE boot image associated with the task sequence. “Shutdown.exe”
is not available in Windows PE environment (hence it is failing).
I have been able to work around this by setting the “SMSTSPostAction”
variable (use to execute a post task sequence task) to "Wpeutil shutdown" which initiates a system shutdown via Wpeutil after the Task Sequence is complete.
It is important that the Task Sequence completes successfully as part of the VHD creation process to ensure a clean sysprep image is create otherwise this can
cause errors when importing in to SCVMM. This is because SCVMM also uses the Task Sequence engine.
Hope that helps.

Create vertual package in SCCM 2012

I Need to create a virtual (App-v package) that I sequenced in sccm 2012. I remember in sccm 2007 there was an option (Create virtual package) I don't see that here whats the procedure for creating virtual package\application in sccm 2012
Thanks

I re-sequenced it Notepad++ and this time and this time I chose continue Configuring and launched Application and was able to add file association through the App, so when App was repushed file association was there for .vbs, .txt. etc...
I have been looking at some blogs and I fond that the sequencer has a Tab Shortcuts and FTA's I don't see that Tab on my sequencer and I'm running 5.0 sp1 any thoughts on that?
maybe ask in the dedicated App-V forum?

Create Global Condition using SCCM 2012 SDK programmaticaly

Could someone please help me in creating some simple Global Condition in SCCM 2012 with SDK.
First, I thougth that it will be pretty easy just creating a SMS_GlobalCondition WMI objet instance, but then I found that there is no any information about rules in that object and it seems to be impossible to create just SMS_GlobalCondition instance. So
there should be some another object containing information about rule or expression assigned to global condition.
For now, I found that it seems to be possible to use DcmObjectWrapper, may be someone can give me a piece of advice on how that exactly can be done.
Appreciate any help.

Juke,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually for now I'm trying to do what you recommended.
I found an
article describing the way to retrieve all Global Conditions as a part of assigning them to an application. This part works for me, I'm just checking objects which they use and looking for properties I should specify, but I still was not able to successfully
create Global Condition.
Seems that I still miss some parameters.
When I save wrapper object which is of type DcmObjectWrapper like
((IResultObject)wrapper).Put();
after specifying necessary parameter I got an error:
ConfigMgr Error Object:
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
Description = "Access denied when attempting to retreive configuration item.";
ErrorCode = 1078266380;
File = "e:\\nts_sccm_release\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspconfigurationitem.cpp";
Line = 2130;
ObjectInfo = "";
Operation = "PutInstance";
ParameterInfo = "";
ProviderName = "ExtnProv";
StatusCode = 2147749889;
That would be great if someone could provide me with working example or give some advice on what parameters are required for that objects. Or maybe I'm using wrong way to do that in general.

SCCM 2012 license for managing Servers

Hi,
We want to manage windows servers with SCCM 2012. Can someone explain what are the licensing options available and how much it cost per server.

Query about SCCM 2012 R2 Client Installation

Hello I had one SCCM 2012 RTM environment with 1000+ clients,
Now on the same machine I have uninstalled everything and installed fresh SCCM 2012 R2 software with same site Code etc..
Kindly suggest me an easy way to upgrade all my SCCM clients to 2012 R2? and How do i verify the same?

Hi,
Currently, the clients cannot accept the policies from SCCM 2012 R2 MP, so Push installation, GP installation and manual installation should work. After upgrade, the GUID of clients will remain.

SCCM 2012 OSD; Not finding driver package during deployment

I've been having some trouble setting up my OSD deployment using SCCM 2012 and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Specifically I am having trouble with device driver deployment while deploying my reference image.
I am running SCCM Config Manager 2012 SP1 CU2. This is running on a Server 2012 VM with SQL 2012.  I am building an OSD deployment and have successfully captured my reference image. I am not sure if it matters, but I manually built a reference
PC and using capture media (USB stick), I successfully captured my reference image. I have imported my drivers for the target PC into Config Manager and into a driver package. The driver package has been deployed to the distribution point
(DP).  I checked the status of the driver package within the console and verified it has been deployed to the DP.   I created a new task sequence (TS) to deploy the captured wim. Within the TS, I added an "Apply
Driver Package" step and pointed it to the aforementioned driver package. I added a WMI query to the step as follows
select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Model like "HP Probook 6570b%."
Incidentally, I did a wmi query on the target PC to verify the model. I deployed the TS to the unknown computers collection and PXE booted the target PC. I ran through the OSD wizard and while OSD is verifying the deployment prerequisites,
the deployment fails with the error, "The task sequence cannot be run because a package referenced by the task sequence could not be found." I checked the smsts.log log and found the following:
Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="CT120043", PackageID="CT100044", ProgramID="*"
After some research I found this error means Config Manager cannot find the driver package (PackageID="CT100044")
for deployment. After more research I have done the following:
Deleted the Driver Package and recreated it and updated the TS step to point to this package.
Deleted and recreated the TS along with the driver package.
Recreated the driver package and distributed content, only importing the NIC drivers as a way to make a simple test.
When distributing content I verified it was successfully completed each time as per the console.
Each time I recreated the driver package and the OSD failed, smsts.log is showing the appropriate package ID in the error. If I disable the Apply Driver Package step and configure a Apply Device Drivers step to install the best matched compatible drivers
and limit the driver matching to the specific driver package, the OSD completes but the drivers do not install. It is as if Config Manager is not seeing the imported drivers at all.
I have run out of options to try and hope someone can help point me in the next direction to take.  After reading numerous forums and guides, I am sure I am doing the OSD steps correctly but I am apparently missing something.
Thanks in advance,
Mike G.

Thanks for responding.
Yes after I posted the question I right-clicked on the driver package, and selected to update distribution points. I checked now (about 12 hours later) and the package is showing it has not finished updating. I checked the content status and
it is "waiting for content." I looked at distmgr.log and I found an error "Failed to start DP health monitoring task for package 'CT100044'. Error code: -1". This error would occur every 30 min after each time the DP retried to process
the package. After some research I found a post stating a file called "Microsoft" or "Program" on located on the root of the site server could cause this and renaming or deleting the file would resolve this. I renamed the file and after the next time
it retried, the error cleared, however the package status is still waiting for content. I tried doing a validation on the package but so far there has been no change.

SCCM 2012 R2 - List of IE versions report

Hi all,
I am trying to create a SCCM 2012 R2 report that tells me what versions of IE are on the machines. Its not so much an issue for installed versions but I also want to know the versions of IE that are part of the operating system. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

If all you are trying to do is determine what version of IE comes with each OS then I'm sure that there is a wiki page for that. If you are trying to get the details what version of IE is currently installed then Torsten suggest will work.

Create Report based on Query in SCCM 2012

I have a lot of useful queries, however I would like to create a few reports based on these queries. What is the simple way to do this? I started to create a New Report, but kind of lost after that. Is there a way I can just copy my statement from the
query to a blank report?

Execute the WQL query from the queries node in the console and watch smsprov.log on the site server. It should contain the "translated" SQL statement.

WMI Query to SCCM 2012 results zero results in c#

In 2007 this works without issues, however in 2012 when attempting the 2nd query it returns zero results. However if I do this manually I can produce results...Here is my code:
using (WqlConnectionManager connection = Connect(getServer))
   string query = "select * from SMS_ObjectContainerItem WHERE ContainerNodeID='" + ProfileID + "'";
   foreach (IResultObject getobject in connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery(query))
     getPackageID = getobject["InstanceKey"].StringValue;
     query = "select * from SMS_Collection WHERE CollectionID='" + getPackageID + "'";
**This is where it will return zero results**
     foreach (IResultObject searchID in connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery(query))
        CMProfiles profile = new CMProfiles();
        profile.Name = searchID["Name"].StringValue;
        profile.ID = getPackageID;
        results.Add(profile);
I'm pulling my hairs trying to understand by the 2nd query is not returning any results. When this works fine in SCCM 2007

What you are using here are the SDK libraries, which are admittedly very thin wrappers around WMI, but not quite. Have you tried implementing this directly using WMI? I have written software that manipulates 2007 / 2012 and eventually found that
the SDK libraries just sort of got in my way, so now I do all of my interactions with SCCM directly with WMI and forgoe the SDK libraries.
Before I changed over, I did find that there are some oddities in using the SDK. What I eventually found that worked for me was to bind to the 2007 SDK libraries, deliver them with my application and use the 2007 libraries regardless of if I was connecting
to 2007 or 2012. What I found was that I would run into issues using the 2012 libraries to talk to 2007, but the 2007 libraries would work fine with both.
I have tested your queries, directly using WMI and PowerShell on a 2012 server and they work fine. I am presuming that the folder that you are attempting to access is a Device Collection folder.
Once again, I would suggest using WMI directly, especially if making a product that will work with 2007 and 2012; you will be a much happier person.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would mark any helpful entries as helpful and if the entry answers your question, please mark it with the Answer link.
