Device Collection Question

Is there a secret to this? Seems straightforward enough. So I have some built that work, but sometimes when I try and add other things I get nothing.
Example Criteria: System.Resource.Client is NULL
- This works great. I get back all the machines that dont have the clien installed. But I need it filtered more. Soooo.
System.Resource.Client is NULL
and
System.Resource.Virtual Machine is equal to "False"
-Now I get 0 results even though I know the client is missing on some non virtual machines.
If I try each one individually they work fine. But when I try and add more I get 0. Like I want all workstations, that are not virtual, that do not have the client installed.
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 where SMS_R_System.Client is null and SMS_R_System.IsVirtualMachine
= "False" and SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion = "%Workstation%"
Does not work. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Hi,
If you look at a client that you get when you use the client is NULL query they most likely don't have the Virtual Machine value configured. Operating System is discovered using the AD System Discovery Agent but the AD doesn't know if the computer is virtual
or physical so your query looks right but computers without the client would not have the value set for virtual machine.
can you query the virtual machines by name perhaps? any special namin convention for virtual machines?

Device collections question

I have created a custom Device ollection called test group, I also have added workstations to it. My question is (I cant remember anymore) is how to add another computer to that custom collection.

Cannot add modify permission to Group for Device Collection

Hi All,
I am having trouble adding the modify permission to a device collection. I am not sure why it is not applying since the group has been granted Full Admin to the collection? Please see below:
While the group can access the distribution point properties, all them are greyed out so they cannot make any changes.
BTW the collection comprises of all Distribution points. Is there another permission I need to grant to the Administrative Users (group in question)

I recommend these two articles:

Importing Existing Computers into a Device Collection

Scenario:
I have 50k devices in my SCCM inventory. A Project Manager hands me a list of 556 computers in CSV format which require a specific application deployment. All computers are from different LOBs, all are unique. Nothing is common.
Question:
Is there a method of taking this list of existing computers and importing them into a device collection without using a query?
Thanks,
mino

You have outdated right click tools.
This is how it should look like.
Here is link to the newest version.
Install the installer and then 3 updates.
You might have to manually get rid of the old ones or you might see both versions present (with and without icons).

Device Collections vs Reports

Fairly new user to System Center 2012 here, so still trying to learn the ins and outs.
Last Thursday, we deployed new software to every PC in our environment. The deployment uninstalled the old application and installed the new one. The job itself was a success (not bad for my first one!).
Anyhow, I had built a SQL based device collection for each application so that I could monitor how many PCs have each application. Essentially, I wanted to watch one grow while the other declined.
I also built a report for each application based on what Add/Remove Programs is reporting so that I could have something to export to Excel to provide updates to management. We run software scans daily on all of our PCs and 90% physically remain
on the network all hours of the day.
My question is: Why is the device collection showing so many more computers having the new software than the report is? I would think they would both always report the same number. For example, the device collection shows 2021 members with
the new application, however the report shows 1565. The report makes it appear as though the deployment was a failure, but the device collection says otherwise. Today is day 5 so I just find it odd that it's taking so long for the report to catch
up. Maybe I've missed a setting to configure the clients to run an inventory scan daily?
Administration - Client Settings - Software Inventory - Occurs every 1 day effective mm/dd/yyyy 10:00AM.

Yep hardware inventory is the one you want.
Do you really need a software inventory every day?
http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2013/10/03/Slow-Software-Inventory-Cycle-in-SCCM-2012.aspx
You can also force a hardware inventory full / delta with the right click tools by now micro. it's a very good free addition.

Need help creating a device collection based on members of a user collection

Hello everyone,
I am working on developing a device collection based on the membership of a user collection. The purpose of the device collection is to provide us with the capability of deploying software to users while the users are logged off their systems.
I would love to use AD security groups but unfortunately that isn't an available approach in this case. I have been experimenting with SQL queries to find the best way to obtain the results I want and the following query works like a champ:
Select SYS.Name0,
v_R_User.Unique_User_Name0
FROM v_R_System AS SYS
JOIN v_UserMachineRelationship ON SYS.Name0=v_UserMachineRelationship.MachineResourceName
JOIN v_R_User ON v_UserMachineRelationship.UniqueUserName=v_R_User.Unique_User_Name0
JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership AS FCM on FCM.ResourceID = v_R_User.ResourceID
JOIN v_Collection AS COLMEM ON COLMEM.CollectionID = FCM.CollectionID
Where FCM.CollectionID = 'cha0000B'
The problem arises when I attempt this same query in SCCM 2012, I don't get any results from this query so of course it won't work to base a Device Collection from. Here is the WQL:
Select SYS.Name,
SMS_R_User.UniqueUserName
FROM SMS_R_System AS SYS
JOIN SMS_UserMachineRelationship ON SYS.Name=SMS_UserMachineRelationship.MachineResourceName
JOIN SMS_R_User ON SMS_UserMachineRelationship.UniqueUserName=SMS_R_User.UniqueUserName
join sms_v_FullCollectionMembership AS FCM on FCM.ResourceID = SMS_R_User.ResourceID
join SMS_v_Collection AS COLMEM ON COLMEM.CollectionID = FCM.CollectionIDwhere FCM.CollectionID = 'cha0000B'
I am hoping that someone will be able to look at my SQL and tell me how I can get the WQL right so I can use this query properly or provide suggestions to accomplish what I need.
Thanks in advance for the assist,
Chris Bolton

Hi Torsten,
While your suggestion of that link was close, it still went in the direction of using security groups as the basis for device queries and that isn't the direction I am pursuing. I had a colleague look at my original query and he identified
that I had some unnecessary redundancy but that didn't resolve my SQL -> WQL inconsistency. I continued to play with the query and the following SQL also works (and actually works a bit better for my purposes)
select distinct v_R_System.Name0,
v_R_User.Unique_User_Name0
FROM v_R_System
JOIN v_R_User on v_R_User.Full_User_Name0 = v_R_System.User_Name0
JOIN v_UserMachineRelationship ON v_R_System.Name0 = v_UserMachineRelationship.MachineResourceName
JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership on v_R_User.Unique_User_Name0 = v_FullCollectionMembership.SMSID
WHERE v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = 'cha0000b'
however when I translate it to WQL I still am unable to get results (here is the WQL version)
select distinct sms_R_system.Name,
sms_R_User.UniqueUserName
FROM sms_R_system
JOIN SMS_R_User on SMS_R_User.FullUserName = SMS_R_System.UserName
JOIN SMS_UserMachineRelationship ON SMS_R_System.Name = SMS_UserMachineRelationship.MachineResourceName
JOIN SMS_FullCollectionMembership on SMS_R_User.UniqueUserName = SMS_FullCollectionMembership.SMSID
WHERE SMS_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = 'cha0000b'
I think I am on the verge of getting this right but it sure seems to be a challenge. Is there a "WQL Workbench" that I could use that is similar to SQL Management Studio inside of which I could test these queries rather than having to use the rather clunky
SCCM "Edit Query Statement" dialog box?
Thanks again,
Chris Bolton

Windows 8.1 laptop computer not showing in SCCM 2012 devices collection

Hi,
I am trying to do a POC on license management from SCCM 2012. I have configures a SCCM 2012 server and intune subscription also. I have Android, iOS and desktop apps uploaded (.msi). when I enrolled android and ios devices its shows up in SCCM,
devices collection but do not show in Intune.
my company portal is nicely coming up on android and iOS tabs. on the other hand company portal showing only Web apps, on a win8.1/7 laptop.
When I tried to enroll 2 windows 8.1/ 7 laptop (intel x86), they donot show up in SCCM. clients of intune manually installed, endpoint protection of SCCM installed also on both boxes.
I tried updating membership in SCCM for both know and unknown type, many time and also triggered Deployment of some desktop app, to the win 8.1 laptops. the desktops are showing in Intune All devices -> all computers nicely. But
not in SCCM2012.
what did I missed, I tried to add all the logical roles. below is some details what shows up in Intune:
indranil

If you installed the Intune agents on the Win 8.1 and Win 7 systems, then they will never show up in ConfigMgr.
There are basically two parts of Intune -- a Mobile Device Management piece and a Windows management piece. The Intune connector in ConfigMgr takes over the MDM piece and nothing more. When ConfigMgr takes over this MDM piece, as Torsten said, all MDM devices
enrolled show up in ConfigMgr and not Intune because that's now controlled by ConfigMgr. The Windows management piece remains unchanged and separate though and so those systems will be directly managed by Intune only or ConfigMgr only.
So you have three options there:
- Install the ConfigMgr agent and managed using COnfigMgr
- Install the Intune agent and manage using Intune
- Enroll the systems using OMA-DM which manages them as if they were devices. This means so you don't get SCEP or Windows Updates or most of the other ConfigMgr functionality. This is only valid for Win 8.1 though.

Help me in creating a Device Collection - i have a list of machine name (in a excel or CSV file)

Hello Guys,
I have created a Device collection for UK region (2000+ machines)
Now i have been given a list of 1000 machines to which i need to deploy an application.
I have to create a device collection for this 1000+ machines. as an input i have a excel or CSV file with a list of machine names.
Please suggest me how can i create a device collection with CSV file as input. Is my CSV file should be in particular format.
Or is there any other way i can create a collection for this 1000 specific machines.
Please suggest.

My previous post was for sccm 2012.
here its for 2007
In the Operating System Deployment section of SCCM right click on Computer Association and choose
Import Computer Information
when the wizard appears select Import Computers using a file
The file itself must contain the information we need in this (CSV) format
COMPUTERNAME,GUID,MACADDRESS
(sample below)
Quote
deployvista,3ED92460-0448-6C45-8FB8-A60002A5B52F,00:03:FF:71:7D:76

w2k8deploy,BFAD6FF2-A04E-6E41-9060-C6FB9EDD4C54,00:03:FF:77:7D:76
if we look at the last line, I've marked the computer name in Red, the GUID in BLUE and the MAC address in GREEN, separate these values with commas as above.
w2k8deploy,BFAD6FF2-A04E-6E41-9060-C6FB9EDD4C54,00:03:FF:77:7D:76
the file can be a standard TEXT file that you create in notepad, and you can rename it to CSV for easier importing into our wizard...
so, click on Browse and browse to where you've got your CSV file
on the Choose Mapping screen, you can select columns and define what to do with that mapping, eg: you could tell it to ignore the GUID value (we won't however)
on the next screen you'll see a Data Preview, and this is useful as it will highlight any errors it finds with a red exclamation mark, in the example below a typo meant that it correctly flagged the MAC address as invalid
so edit your CSV file again and fix the error, click previous (back) and try again
Next choose the target collection where you want these computers to end up in
review the summary
in SCCM collections, we can now see the computers we've just imported from File,
Enjoy

Stagger application deployment to device collection

Hi,
I've created a device collection using a query that has list of machines with a specific application installed.
I have an updated version of that application that I'd like to deploy to that collection.
I'd like to stagger the deployment so that the update takes place on few computers each day or so. For example, every night update the application on 10 machines.
Can this be done? I'm using SCCM 2012 SP1.
Pman
http://www.pmansLab.com/

There's no direct way to do this.
One way to accomplish this though is to create a set of sub-collections that are limited to your main collection. You would then create new deployments with different deadlines for each of these "sub-"collections. The membership of these sub-collections
could then be done using a query based rule that looks at something like the last digit/character of the system's GUID. For example, you could create seven sub-collections and the query rule for the first would only include systems where the GUID's last character
was 1-3, the second collection would look for 4-6, the 3rd would be 7-9, ...
If, your application deployment re-evaluation is set to everyday, then you could also do something similar using requirement rules and a little basic math.

Query and Device Collection by Department

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to build a query and a device collection that is by department.
In the administration of sccm 2012 sp1 I added the attribute "department" but I do not see a way to build a query that shows:
user name/computer name/department/etc
It seems the users and system resourses of the query are split up. Not sure how to join them to get the query I am after. Any help would be great. Thanks

RME Device Collection failure/UserTracking Hostname

A couple of months ago I upgraded our 2 old 6500 to a pair of 6509 running as a Virtual Switching System. Now I am having 2 problems that I hope are related. The first problem is that RME fails when it tries to do an inventory. The message I get is: "Failed (Device Collection Failed. Device side issue)."
I'm not sure what this means. All my credentials are correct, and this seems to be the only thing failing.
The next problem I'm having is since I upgraded to the 6509 VSS, User Tracking no longer pulls the device hostname from DNS. User tracking still works with MAC & IP address, just not with the hostname anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lms 3.1 Device Collection Failure for Cat 6506-E

Unable to pull an updated device collection for a Cat6506-E running 12.2(33)SXI3. Was able to pull one when the device was running 12.2(33)SXH3, but not now. Anyone aware of a bug with the 12.2(33)SXI3 code? All other devices function correctly so I'm guessing an IOS bug, although I got tired of searching for it. Thanks in advance, Ernie

Application set as 'Install for User' but deployed to device collection - what happens ?

Hi All,
If i package an application and set it to 'install for User' - if i then deploy that application to a device collection as required will it install for every user each time they log onto the computer.. ???
Cheers.

Install for User determines the security context in which it will install. If the logged on user is not an admin, the install will likely fail. And yes, technically the app will be available for all users who log in (to be installed) however
if you have your detection method configured properly the app will be installed only once as the detection will determine its already there.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong. ;-)

Device Collections - query for HyperV servers

where SMS_G_System_SERVICE.DisplayName = "Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management"

Operating system name under Device Collection

Hi,
I have created device collection and select the Operating system from Add criteria but operating system is showing as below..
can this will be show the real OS name as Windows 7 ,Windows XP , Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 instead of Operating system as below...
Shailendra Dev

No, you can't run a query one time that will change this information in the console. The info displayed in the console is what is being discovered out of Active Directory for the the Computer Object.
They were suggesting that if you wanted to see a list of computers and a more friendly name, you could run a Query in the console or write a report in SSRS - but that would just be for viewing the information there and would not affect things on the server.
