How clean unused / not installed applications from SCCM

Hi all,
Again I need your help guys. I hope you will help me with this "simple" task. :-)
I have found in our SCCM infrastructure, we have a lot of applications. I sure, many of this is not used anymore. It will be smart to clean SCCM from unused applications. And now question: SCCM has bulit-in report, which I can use to get list of all applications
which are not used / installed on users devices? I have checked maaaaaaany of reports in SCCM but I can't find it.
Thank you for any suggestion.

Asset Intelligence also tracks some software usage, but I am not sure how accurate or useful the data is.

E51 - How to move pre-installed application from m...

Hi all,
I just purchased my E51 some days ago. The phone packaged with Advanced Call Manager pre-installed in microSD card. Now I want to use my 2gb microSD instead of 512mb from Nokia but I will lose the application if I take out the microSD card. How can I move that application from card to phone memory since I could not find the *.sis of that application.
Thanks in advance.

A new phone just includes the installers - you can choose whether to install on the phone or memory card.
However, you can still transfer the app to the newer memory card. Use a card reader, or connect your phone in "Data Transfer Mode", and copy ALL the content of the 512mb card to your computer - make sure that you include the hidden files too. Then copy over these files to your new memory card, again take care to copy the hidden files. That way, you will have the pre-installed software on your new memory card.

Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
although each has some drawbacks.
1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
login server for which you will have to prepare.
2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
on another machine.
3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
machine, not system wide.
If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

Yet another quick and dirty solution is to use local ExternalConnections.
This is a single instance per machine solution.
Example is attached.

Martin,
there are two ways to read your question
(a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
(b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
only want
one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
However, many systems
let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
problematic.
The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
manageable, however. But this enforces one application
instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
(a) or (b).
Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
client,
since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
application. And it doesn't
prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
#3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
user. Of course
most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
trying to
prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
do it.
Some other ideas:
1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
app check at startup time if there is another
ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
(ActivePartitions are child agents
of InstalledPartitions).
2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
system using a naming scheme such as
/MyApplication/MyNode or
/MyApplication/MyUserId
the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
distributed lock manager (ouch).
3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
do this!

John

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
Thanks

If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

But still I will come in to the store as a bookmark Purchated I see it with the symbol of a cloud. And I would like to remove it for good. Under iOS 5.1.1 somehow I managed to do that (at least hide it). In iOS 6 I can not do that.

i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!

If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
