Multiple IP Subnet Based Device collection

Hi ,
I have created Single IP Subnet based device Collection as below WQL.. and its working with
is like Operator and Value as 192.168.11.0
can you please suggest what would be the value if i have to create the Device collection upon 2 Subnets of 192.168.11.0 and 192.168.12.0
Currently i am able to enter only one IP Subnet in value txt box..
Shailendra Dev

You've got to use is like because the field you're checking on contains an array. In your new scenario use
192.168.1% to cover both subnets, but do keep in mind that it will also include all other subnets that start like that. In case you only want those two subnets simply create two separate membership rules.

SSCM 2012 R2 IP Subnet based Device Collection

HI,
I have to create a IP Subnet based Device Collection , are we have to install the ccm clients on all machines first to create the IP subnet based Device Collection??
Can you please share the step by step docs to create the IP Subnet based device collection in SCCM 2012 R2?
Shailendra Dev

Hello, As has already been mentioned this will require the SCCM client to be installed on the workstations to pick up the IP address and may require a Hardware Inventory cycle to have been ran (not 100% certain of the HW Inv requirement, give it a try without
and see!).
Create the collection as you would normally.
right click the collection and select properties. Click into the membership rules tab
select add rule > query rule
Type a name "IP Subnets" and then click "Edit query statement"
Click "Show Query language at the bottom and enter the below query making changes to the IP address.
select * from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.IPSubnets like "172.16.5%"
Update the collection membership. Job done.
I am not sure how whether this information will remain bang up to date e.g. if a machine moves subnets it may not instantaneously update the data in the database regarding IP subnets.

OU based Device Collection Membership not updated frequently

Hi,
I have create one OU based device Collection and checked Used incremental updates for this collection under Membership rules but whenever any Computer object moved form this OU to another OU than such Device is not removed
from same OU based Device Collection... the Collection membership change is not happening properly even after i did update membership of that OU based device collection..
My requirement is whenever any Computer object added or removed in/from any OU in AD than the membership of corresponding OU based device collection should up updated within 5-10 minutes how i can do this .
To achieve this I done below configuration but its membership of the collection not updated... please guide..
Shailendra Dev

To add to Jorgen, note, there is going to be more to it than just AD discovery.
What exactly does your query look like?
Exactly how often is both your Hardware inventory and Heartbeat discovery set to? Do you have SW inventory enabled?
Just to get thing out there IMO the requirement updated within 5-10 minutes is nuts.

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.

SCCM2012: Can you create a Query-based "User Collection" using an IP Subnet (or IP Address range) in the Query?

The topic says it all (I hope). I am new to 2012 and I have tried to accomplish this feat all day, which includes researching online, but I have had zero success in finding anything helpful.
Obviously I can create "Device Collections" based on the IP Subnets, and I can do a "Direct Rule" in "User Collections" for the desired IP Subnet, but I do not want to do this because I need the results to update if/when
any changes occur during a "scheduled/incremental update".
The only thing I could find for the "User Collections" was this:
select * from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.FullUserName = SMS_R_User.UserName and SMS_R_System.IPAddresses like "111.11.1%"
EXAMPLE (Query for Devices):
select * from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.IPAddresses like "111.11.1%"
Is there a way to Query SCCM (2012) and display the Usernames of computers that login to the (sole) Domain through a specified (or desired) IP Subnet?

Why do you want to install software by location for a user? Why do you care?
Why would you want to create a collected of Users with software installed? PCs have the SW install not users so how would you use it?

I was asked to setup these (Device and User Collections) in this manner so we can limit future distributions/deployments of Applications (and/or Packages) and (OS) Images by these groupings. Apparently there will be occasions where deployments will need
to be segmented as such because the company wants to have them grouped in this manner. If there is a better option available than this, which I would not doubt since I am new to SCCM 2012, then I would appreciate the information.
IMO, you need to go back to the person asking and get and better understand of exactly what they want and more importantly why. Making a collection, just in case doesn't make sense.

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

Multiple Remote Subnets and EasyVPN

I have a customer that is setting up a VPN backup network using ASA5500 devices and EasyVPN. Their remote sites have multiple VLANs and associated subnets at them. The tunnels are working fine for the data VLAN (which the inside interface of the 5505 is connected to), however the voice subnet is not accessible across the tunnel. This is obviously because the central 5510 is unaware of the subnet at the remote site, but I can?t figure out how to set up the routing to make it work. I can find references to multiple remote subnets with IOS based EasyVPN, but not with an ASA. Does anyone know the answer to this problem, or a work around that can fix it?

As long as both the client segments and the WSA are off of the same interface of the ASA you can do WCCP with the ASA and WSA. Based on your topology provided WCCP with the ASA should work.
Hope this helps.

Aaa New format configuation on IOS and Nexus-OS based devices ?

Dear all,
I have been working on an assignment to get our TACACs servers standardized and to change the old format aaa configs to the new standard before the old format gets deprecated.
I have many multiple IOS based model devices such as 2350, 2821, 3650, Firewalls, Nexus based 3048s 3064s and 7010s
However, I have tried the new format on both the IOS based 2350s and also on the Nexus based 3048s which has error on both cases
our plan is to move to the new style of aaa configuration and at least to have one standard format configuration for IOS based devices and one other standard format for Nexus based devices.
•Our tacacs appliances are crashing on AD authentication on a fairly regular basis. And I was wondering as to where to get resource on Cisco.com to see if we are on the latest version. Can you point me resource where I can find the latest version so that I will be able to compare it with what we have
Also if you have a forum recommendation for me to get help on this and other related staff that will be a huge help.
probably we might need to upgrade our IOS for example the below new aaa config format didn’t work? when I tried it on 2350 based on flash:/c2350-lanlite-mz.122-46.EY/c2350-lanlite-mz.122-46 version any suggestion here?
I have attached the sample config I have been trying to use-- If you have a better configuration suggestion let me know? Thanks a million for the help!

Yes, the focus with ML is certainly on trying to get people who have iOS devices to switch to using Apple computers.
For long-time devotees of OS X like us, there's not much in it. Snow Leopard was still a far more versatile and more widely compatible OS than either 10.7 or 10.8. If you're on 10.6.8. I would think twice about upgrading.
However, I think if you're on 10.7 already, it's worth upgrading to 10.8, simply because ML seems to be more stable and more refined. They have fixed some of the annoying things in Lion (like you can now put Devices back to the top of the Finder sidebar, Resume is turned off by default, 'Save As' has been resurrected, Launchpad actually has a filter bar etc etc.). Some of the apps are better too - some nice new features in Preview for editing and Safari has an all-in-one address/search bar).
More features are advertised explained here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html

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

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.

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:

I need an example of JSR179 implementation for CDC based device

Actually i am trying to develop an LBS(Location based Service) application for Pocket PC that is a CDC based Device,
I searched a lot on internet for any example that could help me but could't found anything usefull information.
I found a lot of stuff for MIDP, i found JSR179 implementation for MIDP but could't found anything for CDC(Connected Device Configuration).
So i need an example of JSR179 implementation for CDC based device. I really need it.
waiting for your help....
thanx

What is it from a business perspective that you are trying to accomplish?
What are you going to do with this data once you get it into the format you're envisioning?
Are you anticipating creating a collection of REC_SET records? Is there a reason that you're not using an associative array keyed on the c2 value (assuming collections are even appropriate to the problem you're trying to solve)?

VXI Register-based versus Message-based Device Communications

DAQ application using LabView 8.6 communicating with VXI chassis with multiple cards (both register and message based devices). Register-based devices randomly stop communicating (after many hours at 200 scans/sec) while message-based devices continue to communicate. Currently searching for the cause and a resolution to the problem.

David,
Thanks so much for your response.
Our application (after initial setup and configuration of data communication cards in the 2 VXI chassis) enters an overall loop which contains many separate individual loops which carry out the data communication with the various individual cards. Some of these individual loops contain counters which increment each time through the loop. This overall loop continues until the operator interrupts it. We have been running the executable of the code so when we encounter the problem it is difficult to get much in the way of details of what's exactly happening. We are now planning on running the source code so if the problem occurs we could possibly get more information about what is happening.
1. By stop communicating I mean that the some of the counters that I mention above go to zero which indicates that particular loop is somehow "hung-up" and not incrementing the counter.
2. When we encounter the problem we have to exit the program, reboot the computer and start the program again. We have to reboot the computer because after the problem occurs we try to run Resman and we get the error "Unable to initialize ni-vxi driver". I researched this error and found information in the Resman Troubleshooting Guide which mentioned the possibility of a conflict between the NI-VXI device driver and some other memory resident program or device driver. The guide recommended adding lines to the config.sys and system.ini files to exclude the VXI device driver region of memory (0xD000 - 0xEFFF) from other device drivers (MS-OS). We did this but we still had the problem.
3. We have not tried changing the scan rate (currently 200 scans/second) for the cards but the problem occurs at very random times (anywhere from a few hours to 24+ hours).
V/R,
Craig

SCCM Client installation to only Online machines from All Systems Device collection through Client Push

Hi,
How can we create a device collection based on only online machines , than use that collection to install the sccm client through client push method.
Shailendra Dev

You can run a ping report and then create a collection from only the online machines:
Ping Report Script (Put the machine list in "pclist.txt" in the same folder):
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If not objFSO.FileExists("Pclist.txt") THEN
wscript.echo "File not found,"&_
vbcrlf&"with a hard return at the end of each line."
wscript.quit
end if
tempobj="temp.txt"
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("Pclist.txt", ForReading)
logfile="results.csv"
Set ofile=objFSO.CreateTextFile(logfile,True)
strText = objTextFile.ReadAll
objTextFile.Close
wscript.echo "Ping starting"
ofile.WriteLine ","&"Ping Report -- Date: " & Now() & vbCrLf
arrComputers = Split(strText, vbCrLF)
for each item in arrcomputers
objShell.Run "cmd /c ping -n 1 -w 1200 " & item & " >temp.txt", 0, True
Set tempfile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(tempobj,ForReading)
Do Until tempfile.AtEndOfStream
temp=tempfile.readall
striploc = InStr(temp,"[")
        If striploc=0 Then
            strip=""
        Else
            strip=Mid(temp,striploc,16)
            strip=Replace(strip,"[","")
            strip=Replace(strip,"]","")
            strip=Replace(strip,"w"," ")
            strip=Replace(strip," ","")
        End If
        If InStr(temp, "Reply from") Then
             ofile.writeline item & ","&strip&","&"Online."

Device Collections with Workgroup Computers

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with creating device collections for workgroup computers.
I made a collection for all workgroup computers which works great.
I also made two collections dividing the workgroup computers; one with the x86 based computers and the other one with the x64-based computers. I'm having trouble with both collections as it doens't detect a single computer.
If I make a collection for all domain x64 or x86 computers it works like a charm.
Workgroup x64 Computers: (doens't work)
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_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup = "WERKGROEP" and SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.SystemType = "x64-based PC"
Workgroup x86 Computers: (doens't work)
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_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup = "WERKGROEP" and SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.SystemType = "x86-based PC"
All Workgroup Computers: (works)
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.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup = "WERKGROEP"
Cheers

I also tried to select x64-based and x86-based computers based on my All Workgroup Computers collection (limiting collection). But that also didn't work out:
Workgroup x64 Computers on limiting collection All Workgroup Computers: (doesn't work)
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_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.SystemType = "x64-based PC"

Is there a way to export to separate folders based on collection organization?

I am wondering if there is a simple way to export photos from lightroom into seperate folders based on collections.
For example, in LR5, I have collection set "2014". Within "2014", there are sub-collections Jan, Feb, March... and so on. How can I export all the photos, at once, from the "2014" collection set so they end up in a folder structure that mirrors the collection set and sub-collections. My collection is more complex and contains many more sub-collections than the example provided, so I would really like to avoid having to export each sub-collection separately.
In searching for this, I found mention of some sort of plug-in that apparently was capable of this, but I could not get it to work. The GUI was not intuitive and I didn't have time to learn it. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the plug-in since I deleted it. But is there any way to do this without having to learn code or install plug-ins?

Ordinary hard drive service will export into disk folders in tree structure which mirrors hierarchy of publish collections.
I had always assumed (wrongly) this was NOT the case, otherwise what is the purpose of Jeffrey Friedl's Collection Publisher?
Jim Wilde pointed out my erroneous assumption, and said there are advantages to Jeffrey's plugin, but I don't know what they are (probably the ability to have different settings per collection and dunno what else...). Or maybe jf's collection publisher will export in structure of non-publish collections so you don't have to re-define a matching set of published collections - I really don't know.
Bottom line: if your needs are simple enough, Hard Drive publish service may be all you need.
