SCCM 2012 - Software Inventory Timeout

Hi,
I'm currently using SCCM 2012 R2 in my environment and we are inventorying PST files on our Server collection. The PST Software Inventory job is timing out after 4 hours on some of the servers, which leads to incomplete reporting. I believe the
timeout is occurring due to a large number of compressed files and folders within the directory structure on the servers that are experiencing the issue. We are unable to disable compression on these files and folders. We are also unable to specify
individual paths for scanning as we are trying to discover all PST files on our network.
My questions: Is there a way to increase the timeout settings of the Software Inventory job or is there a different workaround for the above? Is there a way to increase the local cpu priority for the Software Inventory job?
Regards,
Joe Coviello

It's not timing out due to the compressed folders, it's timing out due to the shear number of overall files that on on your file servers.
No, there is no supported way to increase the timeout.
For file servers, ConfigMgr is not the tool of choice -- you should be using FSRM or something similar.

SCCM 2012 - Software Inventory (different product names)

Hello
I just try to use software inventory feature and encountered such problem: some software, in particular, for example, WinRAR, changes its name depending on the version of the operating system on which it is installed.
That is, for example, in the paramenters of report 02D, from which we must take the "right" inventoried software titles, WinRAR listed four different products:
WinRAR 4.20 (32-bit)
WinRAR 4.20 (32-разрядная)
WinRAR 4.20 (64-bit)
WinRAR 4.20 (64-разрядная)
But in csv-file I should write exact title of software. So, what I should do? :)

Yes, I know this is an old post, I’m trying to clean them up, Did you figure this out, if so how?
Yes you should use the exact title, for the licensing cvs file.

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working in our environment. Other than software metering, reports work just fine.
I have created a few simple software metering rules with “Acrobat.exe” and “Outlook.exe”. Rules are enabled. Rules were on at least 6 months.
When I go to software metering reports, Month parameter value is empty and I can’t choose any value.
I ran runmetersumm.exe on our server, it did not work as intended. :
Summarizing data up to 0 hours old.
File Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
Monthly Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
I am stumped. Why would it add minus rows?
Any ideas how I can make software metering work on our environment?
Thank you

Finally figured it out.
mtrmgr.log did not find any rules when I ran executables. So I knew it wasn't working on the server side.
After searching for a while, I found the solution from the link below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8f048512-c357-437e-89ec-cee5356a10b1/software-metering-reports-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
1. Deleted RULECHG.RTA under policypv.box folder
2. Removed and recreated metering rules again.
Everything is working again now.
Thank you.
I do wonder how to avoid those problems going forward though.

Detection State 'Unknown' in SCCM 2012 Software Compliance Report

My management is looking for windows patches compliance reports from SCCM 2012
When I am trying to prepare Compliance Reports with SCCM 2012 for windows patches, I am noticing that I have lots of patches, where "Unknown" state is showing against many Windows Patches. I was expecting the reports to show “Not Required"
instead of "Unknown".
Please tell me, where the issue might be and how to rectify it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Jorgen. Is there anyway I can initiate a " Software Update Scan on all Clients from SCCM Console? If yes, please let me steps- how?
As a test, I run "Software scan from a client and client report back to server. However on WindowsUpdates.log I can see some unhappy logs.
Does it mean that WSUS server and clients are having some issue?

SCCM 2012 Software updates

Hi All,
We have SCCM 2012 R2 Server, We have been using more than a years ,
Now im facing crazy issues .
1.every month we using sccm server for deploying windows patches .
2.before patching we set maintenance schedules for device group.
3.patch deployment is working fine without any issues and we get the success 100 % compliants report in all the server .
Note:- but after one or two months later in Monitoring-->deployment tab-->its showing only few machines success results or deploying again old package''
this process is keep on rotating in all the deployment .
how to resolve this issues.
Regards,
Velu M

Hi,
You could try to initiate Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle action from a problematic client, then check CIAgent.log, StateMessage.log to see if there are any helpful information.
Reference:
SCCM state messaging–in depth:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2011/01/07/sccm-state-messaging-in-depth.aspx
You could also follow the steps in the blog below to check state messages in WMI.

SCCM 2012 Software Updates not installing (bothh Windows patches & 3rd party updates)

Using SCCM 2012 R2, I am having a problem getting Windows updates to install. Applications published to people work, and basic software installations published to machines for a straight install work. However, both Windows patches and Adobe patches
fail to install on clients. I have imported the Adobe catalog into SCUP, and publish through WSUS. I can see the Adobe patches and Windows patches in SCCM, and can publish them. However, in deployment status out of 4 machines in my test group the Windows patches
installed on 1 and the other 3 are still in Unknown status with category of "Client check passed/Active". However, none of them are installing the patch - they don't even seem to try. All of those are Windows 7 PCs, incidentally. On Adobe patches,
one PC fails and the other 3 machines still sit in Unknown status. Certificates are distributed,
Any ideas what might cause the deployment to not push some targets, even when it's past the deadline?
Thanks,
Andy Maslin

An unknown status means that the clients are not reporting back to ConfigMgr correctly. This is often due to the WUA not pointing at the correct WSUS instance. You can verify this by examining the WUAHandler.log on one of those clients and it will clearly
indicate an issue with this which in turn is often due to a group policy overriding the ConfigMgr behavior.

SCCM 2012 Hardware Inventory - Custom Inventory Class ( to Include a registry information in to HW Inv)

Hi,
I am trying to include information from a registry into SCCM HW Inventory, I would need some help in extending the HW inventory.
I have followed one of the blog which says that the change needs to be done on both Configuration.mof and also import the .mof in "Default Client Settings".
In Microsoft documentation I see an option to just import a .mof file, I did follow the option of importing the .mof into HW inventory and it was imported without any error (I used a mofcomp -check to compile the code)
Result:
I see following errors in the InventoryAgent.log which are related to the class that I imported and the information or the fields are not yet available in the resource explorer
=================================================
Invalid Query for class abcd: 80041017, will retry to remove invalid properties

SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this
http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
/SaiTech

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

SCCM 2012 hardware Inventory

I want my
Inventory for Printers and Scanner (USB or Network Model), network devices such as Switches and router and any devices attached to POS terminals such as PDT, Monitor, and Keyboard. Can SCCM 2012 R2 can do this.
How to configure this feature if SCCM 2012 can do
Rgds, SSJE

ConfigMgr can run a network discovery, however the information you will get back on the objects will be limited to IP address, hostname and mac address. Check in the discover methods in the Administation workspace.
You can extend the hardware classes to gather more information on printers - some info here
http://www.74k.org/find-printer-information-in-sccm-2012
You already get monitor details in ConfigMgr. This blog gives you some info on how to get a little extra from the EDID data. http://exar.ch/collecting-monitor-serial-numbers-with-sccm/

SCCM 2012 software distribution not able to distribute content for chrome

Hi I am using sccm 2012, need some advice, thanks! I tried to deploy chrome exe to a xp pc but the PC software centre shows downloading for very long time, more than a few hours. I created a 64bit chrome for a win7 pc and deployment also not working, it
just failed. Then I downloaded a msi installer to deploy to an xp pc, the downloading also takes forever, I checked the distribution content, it's failed. I then created a DP group and add the single DP into it. but still not working. I did the work before
for firefox and it did work before. Not sure what happened. Not sure where to check the log for software distribution, any advice please?thanks!
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Thanks, Narcoticoo!your advice is helpful!
So, does it mean I can use xxxx.exe /install /silent for all other exe installers? And to find out the detection method, do I have to install the exe on a local pc to find out the actual directory it will install it (Then uninstall it)? and xxx.exe /uninstall
is for uninstallation? Can I create a bat file like chrome-install.bat to have one line like "ChromeSetupStandAloneSetup.exe
/silent /install " as the the actual installer? Why there is a package option below application? it confused me ....
Thanks!
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Can CM 2012 software inventory see when was the last run of an application?

Hi,
Would like to know if it is possible to see the time stamp of the last run of a particular application using Cm 2012?
Thanks!

Software or Application usage (time stamp, last logged user) can be acheived via Software Metering Feature in SCCM 2012. Enable the software metering with your desired schedule.
Run the Machine Retrieval, User Retreival and Software Metering Cycles in client Machine. Check the Sofware Metering reports in SCCM console.
Thanks, Prabha G

Expiration and Supersedence within an SCCM 2012 Software Update Context

In SCCM 2012 I have put a process together where I wait till the Friday after Patch Tuesday to begin prepping for production Software Update deployments that will take place that following week, beginning on the first Sunday following Patch Tuesday. I wait
till Friday for preparation, because the thought is if I wait till then and synchronize the patches to grab the metadata later in the week, I will not pick up any patches that may have already been superseded or expired that were just released just days before
on Patch Tuesday.
My question is, is this a good practice? I have just been doing it this way for a while, but not sure it this is considered a best practice or what. I guess I am just looking for confirmation and also any other techniques, methods, and\or processes that
may serve me better.
If anyone can offer any input that can give me better insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

So how does it work if I sync on Patch Tuesday after the patches are released, and build my packages and deployments right after that and deploy them to the clients and then I re-run another synchronization say on that following Thursday or Friday and find
out that one of those patches that I deployed has already expired or superseded?
Thanks Torsten

SCCM 2012 - Hardware Inventory - Dynamic Registry Key Inventory

Hi all,
I am trying to inventory a set of registry values based upon a dynamic registry key. The application is called ACME and different versions of it exist on all clients. For example:
Some clients have:
HKLM\Software\ACME\5.0.1
While others have:
HKLM\Software\ACME\5.0.2
While others have:
HKLM\Software\ACME\5.0.3
The common denominator is that under the version key, all of the subkeys are consistent and the same.
The two values I am looking for are "LastUser" and "LastExecuted" which reside under the version key.
HKLM
------> Software
--------------------> ACME
------------------------------>5.0.1
--------------------------------------> LastUser & LastExecuted
So i basically want to do a dynamic lookup for the first child key under "ACME".
I have been using RegKeyToMOF but I am unable to get the data populated into the database. The configuration.mof file compiles successfully (as can be seen in dataldr.log).
Below are the configs I am using. Can anyone shed some light as to why its not populating anything in the DB?
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
#pragma deleteclass("ACME", NOFAIL)
[dynamic, provider("RegProv"), ClassContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ACME")]

TIA!

You have to specify the full path in the MOF to collect the data. I have an example of how you can embed a WMI trigger and a vbscript into a MOF file that will populate any information you want from the registry into a cimv2 class, but that may actually
be more than you really need. Why don't you just inventory each version? It is not as clean, but will be easier.
example of Acme 5.0.1:
#pragma namespace ("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
#pragma deleteclass("ACME501", NOFAIL)
[dynamic, provider("RegProv"), ClassContext("Local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ACME\\5.0.1")]
Class ACME501
[key] string KeyName;
[PropertyContext("LastUser")] String LastUser;
[PropertyContext("LastExecuted")] String LastExecuted;
