Inventory of ALL exe files in SCCM 2012

Hi
We are at the beginning of our SCCM 2012 migration and were asked to start inventorying all EXE files on PCs. We were doing this in SCCM 2007 for all systems and the same data is needed again. Is this recommended? Also what impact can I expect
by enabling this in Software Inventory? I know it can take several hours but didn't know what kind of bandwidth we should expect since new inventory data is sent back up to the database after a 2007 client has been migrated to SCCM 2012.
I tried to deploy a custom Client Setting to a collection with my Test machines to test the Software inventory of all EXE files and the test clients are only running what's in the default Client Settings and not the custom one. I
would like to ultimately only run this on PCs and don't want to enable this in the default settings.
Is Client Settings supposed to behave this way when it comes to software inventory? How do I go about doing this?
Thanks

No you should not inventor all exe, and no it is never recommend to do this, even in CM07! This process will take a very long time to complete, it will in fact block other process from working will it scanning too. In fact in CM12 the process can take
days! Yes I said days! It takes 4 hours to complete on my SSD HD and I'm only scan 6 files in two directories.

How to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012

Hi Everyone,
how to recover deleted systems in "All Systems" collection in SCCM 2012 and also I had one system which is by accidentally deleted, I know the system name, but I cannot able to add the system manually to Device Collections, is
there any solution for this...
I had discovered many systems using discovery, I recovered some systems but not all the systems..
Please suggest...
saikumar CH

just a follow up on Torstens reply. You will see the discovery records show up in the console without having the client installed. That will be corrected when clients perform a hardware inventory re-sync. It all happens automatically, no panic and don't
reinstall the clients.

Mastering ConfigMgr 2012 The Fundamentals

Adobe reader opening all Exe Files.

I believe I accidently set preferences so that all exe files are opened by adobe reader. Once I uninstalled Adobe reader all .exe files went back to normal. However on re installing Adobe reader all exe files have gone back to opening using adobe reader. When Reader was uninstalled I checked the registry for exe files and was told HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
should have a default value of exefile, which it does and then checked HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command which must have a default value of "%1" %* which it does. I can not change the registry while adobe reader is installed as the program regedit is an exe. Is there an Adobe register which I must change or another method I can use?
Thanks if you understood that.

How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1

hi ,
do you know How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1?

As a side note, I made an interesting discovery last week: the SNMP Service is deprecated in Windows Server 2012. Why would you want to use SNMP on an actual Windows OS though? There are far better ways available to monitor Windows. I'm sure that lines
up with why they deprecated it.

What best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012 sp 1

what best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012
and what the difference between wake on lan and out of band service point role

Hey!!! I am a 1E engineer and MVP... we started the power management movement with our very first software product, created around 12 or so years ago, called 1E WakeUp. The complete solution which manages power on (integrated with SCCM, or stand alone if
you are not an SCCM shop) and power off (under a tightly controlled process) is called
NightWatchman
Here is a
recent blog post I authored that was the last in a series documenting the entire wake-up process including how it integrates with SCCM or stood up standalone. It contains links to those earlier posts that explain our entire technology, so you will likely
want to read all of them in order for a full understanding of our technology. It works incredibly well, is the most mature solution in the industry, and is extremely simple to install with minimal resources.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me privately

I tried to search and got few things but didn't understand to proceed with.
Please help me with this.

You can use a typical/standard application deployment method (just a minor change because of MSPfile).
Here are some guides, for typical application deployment:

Huge wim files with sccm 2012 capture media.

So I'm making new image of two new HP models. 850/840 G2.
Win 7 and Win8.1
Image will have only newest win updates
Newest device drivers
Problem is that when I use capture media from SCCM 2012 R2, the WIM files are around 40-50Gb. And I'm a bit lost with this and don't know what to do.
I did all the things in same way like it was with G1 models. And then the WIM size was 9-11Gb.
I checked the inside of the wim file and there was hiberfil.sys files etc that are 16Gb as the RAM on the machine is the same ammount. Ram ammount was same in the G1 models also and this didn't happen. Also winsxs folder was under windows and that was
way over 10Gb.
Also one thing that is strange is that during capture, it captures 3 volumes. Disk should only have that 350MB and the windows installation.
Anyone have had this kind of experience?

Hi
I don't know exactly how I should go with the virtual machine thing .
This is just a small part in my work that I do, so I have done it the most "fastest" way for my self.
Basically I just need 2-3 images with machine drivers and windows update installed.
If making image trough virtual machine would require me to create driver package for each model and then notice that x amount of devices still don't get installed and I would need to create installation package of those missing drivers. That is something I
don't have time for...
Also when using driver package and installation for some special drivers from their won packages it feels that it takes long. And if i have my stuff already in the WIM file, things go smoothly much faster.
But if the virtualmachine trick is somehow superior, hit me with url. Thank you!
Strange thing is that some time ago all worked fine. And I was thinking that if someone has seen this kind of problem before.
It somewhow feels that it's capturing all the drives I have attached to machine. Volyme 3 of 3. And volyme is a disk? Not a partition?
I had usb stick (sccm capture media), machine harddriver with 350mb partition and the windows partition. Also external USB disk that it should save the WIM into.
Probaply next I will test the same machine with different harddrive...

Hardware inventory not reflecting in reports in SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi,
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1. During hardware inventory my client sending logs to MP server(i checked in InventoryAgent.log).
From server end its also showing successful in logs (MP_Hinv.log). But when i m using resource explorer by clicking on a particular device its not giving information about inventory. Its giving only three option (Kindly refer snapshot).
Kindly suggest .
Regards
Manish

We're just not wanting to lead anyone else astray into thinking that this really is the solution if they were to run into the same scenario. We're all very happy that you have things working now, but were just trying to really understand how it got fixed
so that others who do come across this thread would see the real answer. But if all you changed was the boundary group, so be it.
Again, we're all glad you are working now.

Reader 9.3 context menu dominance (wants to open all .exe files)

I didn't see this issue in the forum, so:
My XP Pro SP3 install has taken over my context menu -- it placed "Read" at the top of my context menu for several different file types, including .exe, and it now attempts to open said files, which of course results in a "not a supported file type" prompt.
It even tries (and fails) to re-open itself when I click its desktop icon!
I can still open affected files by right-clicking in Windows Explorer (or shortcuts) then via context menu Open, but I have lost the ability to open programs via start/programs menu, desktop and directly in Windows Explorer (dbl-click).
There's no exe extension for me to re-associate in the Windows Explorer Tools>Folder>Options>File Types. I've looked in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers and there's no Adobe entry.
I've uninstalled everything Adobe, wiped all relevant files (found via Search), cleaned the registry, reinstalled from scratch. No joy.
Can I correct this (i.e., get rid of "Read" in context menu) or must I do w/o the latest Reader?

I'll take the utter lack of response to mean there is no fix for this. So be it. Since I can't even boot up the affected machine because of this issue, I'm ditching Adobe Reader and using Foxit instead!

Software Inventory Reporting with computer name on SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am just trying to use "Count of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs" from SCCM 2012 Report modules but its giving with collection id only ..
as i am trying to include in this with computername instead of Collection id but i am unable to get that.
is any one help me to get the list of software's name with counts inclusive of computernames
KJSUBBU

The issue with your request is that the COUNT statement gives numbers of distinct values.
For example, you wish to count all instances of "Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus" - That program name is a distinct value and there may be 50 instances in your environment.
BUT, when you add the computer name to this - e.g. MACHINENAME "Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus" you will always count 1 for each value and the query will yield 50 rows, because each machine name is a distinct value, despite
there being many instances of Office... the COUNT statement checks all values in the SELECT statement as part of the distinct value.
Here is an example:
SELECT
v_GS_SYSTEM.Name0,
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0,
COUNT(*) AS Qty
FROM
v_GS_SYSTEM
INNER JOIN
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS ON v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID = v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
WHERE
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Google Chrome'
GROUP BY
v_GS_SYSTEM.Name0,
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0
Will yield the following results:
Name0             DisplayName0     Qty
TSTWIN7-01     Google Chrome    1
TSTWIN8-01     Google Chrome    1
I agree with Garth's post that you need to gather mgmt.'s requirements for this data first. If they are wanting reports which show counts of software, AND where that software is installed, you will need two separate reports: 1) summary
report of counts and 2) drill-down from the summary showing where a specific piece of software is installed.
Report for 1) is canned - "Count all instances of software registered in Add or Remove Programs"
Report for 2) is also canned - "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs"
The second report is a drill-down from the first when you click on the software Display Name link in the report.
I imagine that your company is looking to checking license counts and that if you ask further, you will find the specific software for which they are searching. This will also be a good exercise for you to become familiar with the auditing process
for annual true-ups, if you have not gone through this before.

Deploying ipa file via SCCM 2012 R2 / Intune

Hello Experts,
We recently set up a Windows Intune Subscription in our Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Environment. The MDM part (Configuration Items) and deploying app store deep links is working without any problems.
In our company we have a native iOS App which is currently distributed via a website. (Not App Store!). I tried to distribute the app via configuration manager 2012 r2 but the app doesn't show up in the company portal even after a day. I made the following
steps to distribute the app:
1. Received the ipa and plist File from the Developer.
2. Added the application to configuration manager 2012 r2
3. Deployed the application to my intune user collection (DP: manage.microsoft.com / Purpose: Available)
Did i miss any importent step? One thing i can say is that the app is not signed with our APN Certificate which is used in the Intune Subscription. According to our developer this should not be neccessary?!
Thanks for any advice.

I redeployed the app and the following entries were in the logs:

I searched the log file in the company portal for the app name but i couldn't find anything.

NETWORK PRINTER INVENTORY IN SYSTEM CENTRE CONFIGURATION MANAGER (SCCM 2012).

SCCM HW inventory agent runs as the ‘SYSTEM’ and cannot see the end-users network drives and printers. The following two step process will help circumvent the above stated limitation.
1) CREATE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS PATH IN THE REGISTRY.
Create a SCCM package.
The package should run as administrator.
The package should run whether or not a user is logged on.
POWERSHELL PACKAGE 1 (Prerequisite):
if (!(Test-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY)) {new-item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}
$perm = get-acl HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule("Authenticated Users","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "InheritOnly", "Allow") -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$perm.SetAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY $perm -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (!(Test-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS)) {new-item HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}
SAVE POWERSHELL FILE AS: PrinterInvRegSetup.ps1
SETUP THE SCCM PACKAGE/PROGRAM WITH COMMAND LINE:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -noprofile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file .\PrinterInvRegSetup.ps1
2) CAPTURE CURRENT USER’S PRINTERS AND WRITE THOSE ENTRIES TO THE ABOVE CREATED REGISTRY KEYS.
Create a SCCM package
The package should be run only when a user is logged in.
POWERSHELL PACKAGE 2 (Main):
$printers = Get-WMIObject -class Win32_Printer -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue|select-Object -Property ServerName,ShareName,Location,DriverName,PrintProcessor,PortName,Local |Where-Object {$_.Local -ne $true}-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
ForEach($printer in $printers){
$PServerName= $printer.ServerName -replace ('\\','')
$PShareName = $printer.ShareName
$PLocation = $printer.Location
$PDriverName = $printer.DriverName
$PPrintProcessor = $printer.PrintProcessor
$PPortName = $printer.PortName
if ((Test-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS)) {
if ((Test-Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName")) {
Remove-item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrintServer" -Value $PServerName -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrinterQueue" -Value $PShareName -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrinterLocation" -Value $PLocation -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrinterDriver" -Value $PDriverName -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrintProcessor" -Value $PPrintProcessor -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "PrinterPortName" -Value $PPortName -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\SCCMINVENTORY\NETWORKPRINTERS\$PShareName on $PServerName" -Name "DateInventoried" -Value $(get-date) -PropertyType "String" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
SAVE POWERSHELL FILE AS: NetworkPrinterInventory.ps1
SETUP THE SCCM PACKAGE/PROGRAM WITH COMMAND LINE:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -noprofile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file .\NetworkPrinterInventory.ps1
3) CREATE A DEPLOYMENT AND SET IT TO ‘RUN ALWAYS’ AND MAKE IT A REQUIREMENT.
Now deploy the second package and set the first package as a prerequisite (Check the box – Always run the prerequisite package)
The deployment should be set to run every 4 hours and ‘Always rerun’. Mark the deployment as required.
4) ADD THE FOLLOWING IN BETWEEN THE EXTENSION SECTION WITHIN YOUR CONFIGURATION.MOF.
//========================
// Added extensions Start
//========================
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
#pragma deleteclass("NETWORKPRINTERS", NOFAIL)
[dynamic, provider("RegProv"), ClassContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\SCCMINVENTORY\\NETWORKPRINTERS")]
Class NETWORKPRINTERS
[key] string KeyName;
[PropertyContext("PrintServer")] String PrintServer;
[PropertyContext("PrinterQueue")] String PrinterQueue;
[PropertyContext("PrinterLocation")] String PrinterLocation;
[PropertyContext("PrinterDriver")] String PrinterDriver;
[PropertyContext("PrintProcessor")] String PrintProcessor;
[PropertyContext("PrinterPortName")] String PrinterPortName;
[PropertyContext("DateInventoried")] String DateInventoried;
//========================
// Added extensions end
//========================
5) SAVE THE BELOW DATA INTO A FILE CALLED ‘AWESOME.MOF’.
#pragma namespace (“\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\\SMS”)
#pragma deleteclass(“NETWORKPRINTERS”, NOFAIL)
[SMS_Report(TRUE),SMS_Group_Name("NETWORKPRINTERS"),SMS_Class_ID("NETWORKPRINTERS")]
Class NETWORKPRINTERS: SMS_Class_Template
[SMS_Report(TRUE),key] string KeyName;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrintServer;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrinterQueue;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrinterLocation;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrinterDriver;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrintProcessor;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String PrinterPortName;
[SMS_Report(TRUE)] String DateInventoried;
6) IMPORT ‘AWESOME.MOF’ INTO SCCM DEFAULT CLIENT SETTINGS.
Either import the above MOF file into the Client Setting/Default Client Settings/Hardware Inventory/Classes/Import. Select the option to import every thing.
Alternatively, if you have compiled the MOF manually on the PC, Add a new reporting class by clicking the ‘Add’ button and connecting to the PC and selecting the WMI class ‘NETWORKPRINTERS‘
and that is it. The SCCM resource explorer should soon see the Network Printers.
Now, this is a convoluted process but this is the only way I can inventory Network printers. Any ideas or suggestions?

All the other ways are similar because this is a per-user setting.

How to Deploy exe application using SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi,
While creating deployment type wizard (for exe application deployment) , i am not able to see the "Windows Installer (native)" option in the drop down menu. Kindly refer snapshot. If i select "script installer" , deployment is not working.
I am taking it for adobe reader 9.1 exe application. Can anyone please suggest which option should i take.
Regards
Manish

I believe the thinking was that most people wrap their .exe in an .msi anyway, so that would have been way more common.
Really?
That seems bizarre to me. I guess, if this thinking occurred, it might have been based on the idea that lots of people are using Group Policy Software Installation (Intellimirror), since GPSI does a less-horrible job when you use MSI.
But, a lot of software I've seen, uses a setup.exe bootstrapper to launch one or more MSI's.
So, MSI wraps EXE wraps MSI would be the outcome of this thinking.
Which is why I chose the word... bizarre.

Does boot camp run all .exe files?

Im thinking about downloading boot camp on my mac in order to play a game. Does boot camp only run specified programs? Or will it run anything that a windows computer could?

Boot Camp makes it possible to run Windows, but you still need to buy Windows.
