You may want to look into 1e’s AppClarity. It might make this effort a little easier for you.

This way the report will be MUCH smaller as the report will start at 1000 lines and increase to say 100,000 lines depending on the size of you environment. I would then export this into excel add a column to state the Win7 compliancy & ”do I care factor” & “what are we going to replace this with”, someone can review it within a couple of days to get 80% of all titles flagged correctly. Then it would be someone call to decide what to do about the remain 20%, but in most cases I would ignore them as they are one off titles or utils. BTW I was the CM07 Architect for a client of mine and they had my cubicle buddy responsible for this exact task! It took him over 4 months to classy every title in the 1 division of the company, there was over 40, 000 titles! He would just love me when I pointed out that there was new SW in the environment. If you have any $$ seriously look at 1e and BDNA for this type of thing. They should be about to give you your Win7 compliancy details in a few days after installing the product.

Early stages of a Windows 7 upgrade…they want to see what software out there is actually used so they know what software is in scope for them to care about, i.e. verifying Windows 7 compatibility, etc. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 20 June 2013 9:08 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mssms] Last used date for each application report First off this report will be huge! You are talking about ~2.5 pages per PC. How does the requestor plan to use this report? Sent from Windows Mail From: Daniel Corkill Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 1:28 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> All, I’ve been asked to see if it’s possible to create a web report in ConfigMgr 2007 to list every application, version and the date it was last used. I’m looking at the 07A, 07B and 07C asset intelligence reports and I’m thinking these reports contain all the data I’ll need. I think I need a query that firstly gets every application on every computer. Then, gets the last used date on every computer that has each application and use the latest last used date as the last date the application was used. Does anyone have any ideas?
