Thanks John. I’m only getting one record returned when I run this?

We used Stratusphere FIT 
<http://www.liquidwarelabs.com/products/stratuspherefit.asp>  and Stratusphere 
UX <http://www.liquidwarelabs.com/products/stratusphereux.asp>  from LiquidWare 
labs and Changebase <http://www.quest.com/changebase/>  from Dell as part of 
our assessments. We are doing VDI though, those may or may not be a fit for you.

 

To Garth’s point I actually wrote the report you are looking for this morning. 
I have BDNA Normalize CM <http://info.bdna.com/NormalizeCMFreeTrial/>  which 
makes such reporting actually usable and it has compatibility info for 
installed apps. 

 

The RAW data returned from Configmgr, for my 1000 clients is 161,000 + rows. 
The data returned from the normalized data are the 17,975 I actually care 
about. 

 

 

 

Here’s the report from CM if you really want it:

 

 

select top 1

 

sys.Name0 as 'Computer Name',

sys.User_Name0 as 'Computer User Name',

TUSER.Full_User_Name0 as 'Full Name',

l0 as 'Location',

rcnt.CompanyName0 as 'Publisher',

rcnt.ProductName0 as 'Product',

rcnt.FileDescription0 as 'Description',

rcnt.LastUserName0 as 'Last User',

rcnt.ExplorerFileName0 as 'File Name',

rcnt.ProductVersion0 as 'Version',

 

 

DATEDIFF(DAY,LastUsedTime0,GETDATE()) as 'days since used'

 

 

from v_R_System sys

 

LEFT OUTER JOIN v_GS_CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS rcnt on sys.ResourceID = 
rcnt.ResourceID

INNER JOIN v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM os on sys.ResourceID = os.ResourceID

LEFT OUTER JOIN v_R_User TUSER ON TUSER.User_Name0 = SUBSTRING(sys.User_Name0, 
CHARINDEX('\', sys.User_Name0) + 1, LEN(sys.User_Name0))

 

where LastUsedTime0 is not NULL and 

DATEDIFF(DAY,LastUsedTime0,GETDATE())<=90

and os.Caption0 not like '%server%'

 

Order by sys.Name0

IMO they are going about this all wrong. if they are worry about Windows 7 and 
SW compatibility then they should get the list of all applications (built-in 
report) and do a lookup against each of those to see if they are windows 7 
compatible. 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.

I’m aware it’s a pretty crazy request. 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.

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?

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?
