Sccm reporting for add/remove programs is not accurate

Hi freinds
I have made a custome query to find computers where antivirus is not installed in entire site. It was working fine. But last week I have observed that one windows server 2008 r2 has got symantec enpoint protection installed but sccm report is including
that server.
could anyone please share ideas to solve it?
here is the sccm query:
select v_r_system.netbios_name0,v_r_system.user_name0,v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Caption0 AS "Operating System",v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE.SerialNumber0 AS "Serial Number" from v_r_system
join v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM on v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID = v_r_system.ResourceId
JOIN v_GS_system on v_GS_system.ResourceID = v_r_system.ResourceId
JOIN v_GS_system_Enclosure on v_GS_system_Enclosure.ResourceID = v_r_system.ResourceId
where v_GS_system.Name0 not in
select distinct v_GS_system.Name0 from v_GS_system
LEFT OUTER JOIN v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = v_r_system.ResourceId
LEFT OUTER join v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64 on v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.ResourceID = v_r_system.ResourceId
where
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Symantec AntiVirus'
or v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Symantec AntiVirus Client' or
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Norton Antivirus Client' or
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition' or
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Symantec Endpoint Protection' or
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName0 = 'Symantec AntiVirus Win64' or v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName0 = 'Symantec Endpoint Protection' or
v_GS_SYstem.SMSID0 = 'GUID:6578610F-BFD0-4693-98B5-B6FB50129FB5' or
v_GS_SYstem.SMSID0 = 'GUID:E64FF1A8-EF5B-46DD-8859-02D7A3E8818A' or
v_GS_SYstem.SMSID0 = 'GUID:52EA60BD-F3DD-4615-9CCD-AFE0B7F28D41' )

It sounds like you have some 3rd. party Console tools installed (right click tools). Those are using various scripts to connect to the clients and is not really controlled via ConfigMgr.

Windows 7 Bug: Add/remove program list not populating correctly

Hi,
I'm missing programs in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs (Windows 7 Ultimate CZ). I've noticed it yesterday. I've been googling for several hours but I haven't found a solution. There are many discussion about the problem, but none of them helped.
Can Microsoft people resolve the bug?
P.S. My former account was Vladimir Cvajniga but I can't access it anymore, see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/newthread?category=officedev&forum=accessdev

Hello DesperatelyNeedMyFormerAccount.
I suggest you to ask this question in the Windows Answers Forum at
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7. Provide as much detailed informations as you can about the problem.

XML error when trying to run any report with add/remove programs - worked briefly after SP1 upgrade - no longer works

I applied SP1 in hopes of fixing the reporting bug as discussed
here and it did work - for a day or so. Now, I am getting the error again. Not sure what to do. Please advise.
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.
There is an error in XML document (1, 301094).
'', hexadecimal value 0x1E, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 301094.
I also get the "report builder click-once application does not exist on the server" - to which I had applied the registry key
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\AdminUI\Reporting]
"ReportBuilderApplicationManifestName"="ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application"
SQL
and SCCM are on the same server - which I can get to report server web but cannot create reports from SCCM console.
Thanks

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This problem was solved in SP1 if you are still having this problem after applying SP1, then you need to contact CSS directly for support, they will work with you to solve this problem.

How can I remove version 3.5 from my computer... the add/remove programs will not work, I have 3.6 installed and 3.5 is taking up over 2 gigabytes of disk space according to the add/remove in the control panel and nothing I do will remove 3.5

I have been trying to make room on my C drive and have been removing stuff I don't use. I have version 3.6 Firefox but my settings show I also have 3.5 which shows over 2,000 megabytes of disc space being used. I try to remove it but nothing happens, nor can I find it when searching "my computer" to try and kill it. Why would any program use up 2 gig of space?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I was trying to find a way to clear up space on my C drive

If you need to consider removing 30MB folders to create space then I imagine your hdd is seriously short of space. Normally I think it is often suggested a minimum of 20-25% free space be left on a Windows machine hdd. How much free space % wise have you at present.
You probably have already thought of these, a lack of space could slow things down and may even contribute to crash problems.
*Not using the Hibernate feature will release one largish chunk.
*Not keeping video files on the HDD unnecessarily is also likely to save space.

Package status not appended in the Add Remove Programs in control panel after the installation.

Hi,
I have a strange problem with "Package status not appended in the Add Remove Programs after the installation.".
Like, onec the package is installed via SCCM, it should be listed in the Add Remove programs with the package name, version and the install date.
At times on random machine these details are not appended. Although the application works fine on the machine, but the correct details are not populated in Add/ Remove programs.
There is no issue with the package as it shows correct details on few other machine where it is installed.
This behaviour is random on random machines. Hence, very difficult to track the reason.
System Security analyst at CapG

Hi Jason,
Yes, i have tried Jorgen's suggestion, ans as said earlier. It install the application smoothly on any other machine (any random machine) perfectly with correct details in Add Remove Programs.
As mentioned earlier, the same package, same environment, same set of machines with same OS, it installs correctly on few machines.. and on few its just misses to add correct details in Add Remove progs.
If it was related to package, how does it install corretly on other machines?? How does the same package installs correctly when done manually or by that means by PSEXEC.
To a matter of fact, we are checking our package for the multiple times now, just to make sure it is buldled correctly with correct install scripts. We are trying to search different multiple ways to see what makes the package to skip the
correct entry in the Add Remove.
To add, this is not with one package, it happens with random package with random machine. There is not typical behaviour that could be tracked.
All the installations done via SCCM 07, with admin account.
This looks more tricky and complex then as simple as saying, its the fault of packaging.
I hate to say this but this is NOT a CM07 problem, You will need to work with your packaging team, and use tools like process monitor,psexec and the msi log to determine why it is failing.
Your first step is to find a pc where you can consistent get the setup to fails. once you get that you can use process monitor and the msi log files to determine what is going on.

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.

If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

How do I unstall elements 6 in XP it's not in Add/Remove Programs

I had elents 6 and when I installed 7 it said I didn't have to remove 6, so I didn't, just in case I didn't like 7 or needed 6. Then I forgot about 6 being there and when I installed 8 it said I didn't have to uninstall 7, so I didn't uninstall it either. Now I found 6 and want to uninstall it but it is not in Add/Remove Programs, I searched the KB and it said when it couldn't be uninstalled with Add/remove you could do it manually. then the directions for manual uninstall says Open Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs, and uninstall Elements 6. So it says essentially "if you can't do "This", then "Do This".
After listening to music for about 40 minutes on the telephone, the Tech Support guy said I would have to pay him $40, or go to the KB . I told him that the information in the KB was wrong when you searched "Uninstall Elements 6" and he said the only thing I could do was pay him $40, non refundable, and that if something went wrong with one of the other Adobe programs I would have to pay them to fix that!
ANY SUGGESTIONS. . . PLEASE, otherwise I'll just leave 2,000+ files that take up half a gig, and hope it doesn't give me other problems in the future. I was considering just deleting the Elements 6 folder and then use system mechanic to fix the registry. or IF I can find the original CD, can I use it to uninstall it, or could I reinstall it, without it screwing up my 7 and 8, and see if it shows up in "Add/Remove Programs"?

Find the original CD and launch the Setup. If it doesn't give you the option of removing the current installation, install PSE 6 again and then uninstall it from the Control Panel.
If that doesn't work, then you can follow the instructions in the tech note that you were reading:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408483.html
Just skip the first section, "Run the Photoshop Elements 6 Uninstaller". The remaining sections will lead you through a manual removal. (I agree that the instructions are confusing.)
But it's better to do reinstall and then uninstall if you can.

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs. I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing. I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

I want to uninstall but it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs

I use Firefox 2.0.0.12. When I accessed today I was aked to install an update, now the thing won't even start up. Message is "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. " I have been on your help site and am told to uninstall it, but it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs list. How can I uninstall it?

I found an uninstall file in the Mozilla firefox program files and successfully uninstalled the old version of firefox. I have now installed v3.6.13 and all seems OK. Does anyone anticipate any other problems?

ITunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system. Now my phone is not recognized. I tried installing manually. I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs. Still get errors.

Attempted update to iTunes 10.5.2 failed on my Windows XP system. Now my phone is not recognized. I tried installing manually. I tried to repair using Add/Remove programs. Still get errors.

Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!.

How to uninstall NI drivers that are not removable via "Add/Remove Programs"?

Hi,
I am trying to uninstall older versions of NI MAX and DAQ drivers via "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panels on a Win2000 test PC, but nothing happen when the "Remove" button is pressed. The same issue does not happen with any other drivers or applications installed on the same test PC. These two drivers might have been installed improperly before. Please advise how I can uninstall them without using "Add/Remove Programs"? Thank you very much for your help.
Valen

Hello LA,
The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].
