Software install date is incorrect in SCCM report

Both tables "v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE_CATEGORIZED" and "v_Add_Remove_Programs" (InstallDate0) are showing when a patch was last installed instead of showing the initial installation date for the software. For instance, even on my machine,
the control panel shows Acrobat as installed on 6/12/2014 when it was actually installed over a year ago. Is there another table or location on the computer I can get the correct install date info from?

All ConfigMgr can do is gather the data from Windows. Is there another place in ConfigMgr, no just as Garth says. Is there another place in Windows? Doubtful.
Is there a reason this is significant?

Hardware and Software inventory data shows blank in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I have this issue. When i try to view the inventory data for hardware and software it shows blank data. Below is the screenshot of that. Mine is a lab setup and i have only 2 clients configured.
I am using the default client settings which comes with priority of 10000. I altered the inventory setting to pull .dll and .exe files with changing the interval. But still the same issue. I analysed the InventoryAgent.log and found the below error on both
the clients.
Inventory: 1 Collection Task(s) failed.
InventoryVersionNumber for '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}' not found.
CInvState::CheckInventoryAgentConfig: Get() failed: 80041002
Can any one please help.

Hi Garth,
A reboot just fixed the issue on that system in which the options are not coming to run the setup manually.
As i had hibernated the VM's and the server in which those options were not coming is the physical box hosting the VM's (SCCM server and one more client). The physical box is also acting as a client and the SQL server holding the SCCM Database.
Now things which need to be troubleshooted are:
1. Why is it Hardware inventory report appearing after running the setup manually and not appearing automatically.
2. The software inventory report is not appearing at all even after it is being run manually.
Below is the screen shot of the default client settings policy i am using.
Software inventory:
Hardware inventory:
My LAB setup is as follows:
SCCMSVR.labtest.com - Is the SCCM server and Fail back status point, Asset intellegence sync
point and etc.
Server.labtest.com - Is the Domain controller, SQL server
SCCMTEST.labtest.com - A testing machine to push the client and to deploy patches in it.
Site code is LAB
Grath - What do you suggest is the next Plan of action which you suggest ?

SCCM Reporting: Software Updates / Apllication the "Installed date" is missing or null in reports

When the “V_GS_Add_Remove_Programs” or “V_GS_Quick_Fix_Engineering” queried for installed date (the views that contains information on updates/application
installed date), the “installDate0” Column returns “Null” or is
"blank" on most of the rows.
The machine in this example is “X”
2. As you can see from the machines X's add remove Programs installed Date is given clearly.
Appreciate your help on this as its for an audit report of windows updates and applications installed date, I know that some applications do not populate this value but my argument is if its visible from Programs and Features why isn't the data being collected.
Best Regards,
Michael

Hi Mate,
Its really difficult to do get the installed date of the patches as there is no table available in SCCM DB to pull this info i had a requirement in the past but i was unable to do had done it via work around.
This can be done after editing of sms_def.mof file or else using the power-shell script in windows server 2008 where the powershell is a feature by default.
H/W inventory:
For the 2000 servers this has to be installed but if we enable this its mentioned it may utilize upto 100 % of the Memory during the h/w inventory you can check that in your SMS_DEF.MOF -
QuickFixEngineering you can see the warning.uickFixEngineering
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279225/en-us
Powershell script:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/richardsiddaway/archive/2011/10/23/1760058.aspx
the warning for the quick fix engineering is not there on 2012 but there on 2007 hope the info help you to achieve your output.

SCCM 2012 Report that shows the users with specific software installed

Hi,
Is there a report in SCCM 2012 that shows the users with specific software installed? The report should show username, machine name and the software name. I am looking for a report that shows the users with the following softwares installed:
1. Adobe(all versions)
2. Photoshop(all versions)
3. MS Project(all versions)
4. MS Vision(all versions)
Regards, Lorin Davis

Take a look at the Asset Intelligence reports in the software section. You may get a list of computers with a product installed, and you might have to use that list to find the primary users based on user device affinity.

Data Source security settings are revert back after correct it !! (SCCM Reporting Services Point)

I have a strange situation here: SCCM 2012 SP1 and all components are OK and running smoothly BUT all reports report the error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot impersonate user for data source 'DataSource2'. (rsErrorImpersonatingUser)
Log on failed. Ensure the user name and password are correct. (rsLogonFailed)
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I correct the password and click test connection and it is successful ...few seconds the setting revert back and if I change the settings totally it reverts back to as if something prevent it from change !!
the strange thing that I tried to remove the reporting services point from the site server and the reports worked well and the setting not change
what make the settings of the data source created by sccm 2012 reporting services point revert back preventing the report from running
by the way all authentication and permissions are given to the account that running reports and connects to the database
help me finding solutions and thanks for all great experts here
Hossam Wael Elmosallamy (IT Support Engineer-ECC Solutions) MCSE - CCNA [email protected] Mobile:(011)-49464671 www.eccsolutions.net "Experience Reliability"

I am also experiencing this issue. I have tried modifying the Data Source credentials directly from the data source configuration on our SSRS web site. I have also tried changing it from the CM12 Console under the Reporting services
point, specifically the Reporting Services Point Account. No matter how many times I change it, it will revert back to an account we don't want it conifigured for any longer.
Mucking around in the registry, I found the following keys that seem to reference the configuration:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP\Datasource
It appears as though the Datasource key contains the configuration under two String Values:
Reserved 1 = User name
Reserved 2 = guessing encrypted hash of password
Doesn't seem like it is even an option to change the configuration here, but at least this is some more info.
Any help on this would be great... until then, I will keep digging.

Querying / Reporting on Install Date of Office Applications

I am trying to create a query/report that looks for recently installed applications that require extra licensing costs from Microsoft, including Visio and Project. I've made some really good reports for what applications are installed on what machines,
but where everything breaks down is the install date. Since Office applications are patched monthly, the install date reported by our inventory changes each time the applications patch. This gives me reports that seem to think that hundreds of
users have installed these applications in the last month.
The install date in both the Installed Software and Installed Applications classes shows the date of the last update installation, not the original installation.
On sample machines, Programs and Features shows the correct original installation date, but I can't find where that date is coming from. I have checked HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall,
and HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\Products, and the install date shown is the date the application was last updated.
Any ideas on how to collect the correct install date by expanding my hardware inventory? Or create a better query to use the data I have, possibly the History classes?

On a single test machine, I found a match, for the date displayed in "Installed Programs" vs. "Installed Updates"
This string/value seems to have the correct date (but it could be complete coincidence).
I theorised that the date against this specific Office Setup component, could be static (but who really knows. it's just a guess on my part.)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{90150000-0116-0409-1000-0000000FF1CE} | InstallDate

SCCM report to find total number of actual patches installed by update deployment on all the machines (present in target collection)

Hi Guys,
I am looking for a sccm report which should provide total number of actual patches installed by us on all the machines (present in target collection). For couple of updates after sync it shows installed already on some machines.
Example:
CName | Total Patches  | Already Installed  | Installation triggered by Deployment   | Collection ID
AW001      (123)               (2)                         (17)                                                    CL00001
AW002      (123)               (1)
(21)                                                    CL00001
AW003      (123)               (1)
(26)                                                   CL00001
I am specially looking for 'Installation triggered by Deployment ' number
I would appriciate very much your the help.

Hi Chandan,
You could try to create your custom report based on Software Updates Status views.

Custom report software installed with last logged on user.

Can someone please help, I'd like to create a custom report: Specific software installed on a computer which includes last logged on user. I can do this by query but need a custom report for none ConfigMgr users.

SCCM report data are missing inside report since Update SCCM 2012 to R2 Cu1

Hi All,
I encountered an issue regarding certains SCCM reports after migrating to SCCM R2 CU1.
After this upgrade, I've already encountered some issues on differents reports .. reports where we need to select a collection or patches or computers from a drop list (all theses drop list were empty).
I resolved these issues by adding the "read" security permission in the security role dedicated to our Support Team. (Read permission is now applied on Collections, Packages ect...)
This sort of report works well now.
But this same Team show me another issue where I did not find any resolution.
In the categorie called "Hardware - General", we have a report named "Computer information for a specific computer" where, as you know, we normally could find some informations regarding a computer.
In fact, the only informations which are visible through this report are the NetbiosName,Username, Domain User & computer and IP adress.
All others informations are not displayed.
If I use this report with a user who has admin rights in SCCM (which is not the fact with my support team of course) ...all informations are displayed normally.
It seems that it looks like the first read rights issue that I encountered at the beginning, but I did not find where could be the cause of this issue
Does anyone has already seen this sort of issue ?

In CM12R2 RBA is now enabled for report. So this tell me that you have NOT grant the support team access to the data and therefore this is normal.
There is a quick fix for this see Brian post.

SCCM query for Windows 8 machines without software installed

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of an SCCM query for a collection that would list all Windows 8 machines without certain software installed?
Thanks

I have this query to for systems without software installed:
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.Name not in
(select SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Name from SMS_R_System
inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on
SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on
SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID =
SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.
DisplayName like "%SOFTWARE%")
The query works, but I would like to modify it so the query only includes certain versions of Windows. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

SCCM report on last time each Office application was used

I have set up the correct SCCM software metering rules for each of the Office suite executables like Outlook.exe, MsWord.exe etc. I would like to report on usage of each executable in the Office suite. This is useful for us because we can work out things
like if a user only uses Outlook and nothing else in the Office suite then we can move them to Outlook Web Access and uninstall Office, therefore reducing the number of Office licenses required.
I'm sure the data is there but not sure how to extract it. For all the machines in the environment, I would like to have a report showing something like this:
Name Last date Outlook.exe used Last date Excel.exe used
PC001 01/01/2011 15/03/2011
PC002 02/02/2011 Never run
PC002 Never run Never run
There doesn't seem to be an existing report that I could use / modify, just wondering if anyone has attempted this before?

I wonder, what is the use of this report. I think, you can try to create a custom report with the help of two links given below?
