exit code 2 = The system cannot find the file specified.

it is a SQL query.

Any WS that is approved, is approved for the life of the ResourceID. However if the ResourceId changes for any reason, then you will need to re-approve it. So it sound like your WG computers are duplicated and old computers are purged out and a new resouceid is created for the computer.

What exactly isn't working for you? Also remember that the BIOS version is a string not a number too.

Well, there you go, you will need to create your own powershell/VBS script to do the detection. And move the data to an area that CM can inventory. Once you do that you can have CM inventory the data. This might not be a simple task as it will depend on if the users are Admin on their computer or not.

ok, I will bite, why isn't this doable for you? Are you trying to say this doesn't work for you because of the cloud lic?

This first thing you are going to what to do is understand where the data that you want existing within CM. These two links will help you with that. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/develop/core/understand/sqlviews/software-updates-views-configuration-manager https://www.informit.com/store/system-center-configuration-manager-reporting-unleashed-9780134466811 .

yes, use powershell.

Again let me repeat myself! What EXACTLY do you have now? What EXACTLY doesn't work for you? I will NOT write this for you.

Err, If you deleted it via SQL then you are likely to have problems don't the road. my guess is likely when you upgrade your site to the next version. I would suggest considering doing a full site restore instead using a clean backup.

What EXACTLY do you have now? What EXACTLY doesn't work for you? I will NOT write this for you.

and did you review the ssrsrp msi logs to see why it failed?

CM does not inventory location or department by default. So.....

What exactly do the log say as to why it is not being detected?

All I'm going to do is bing it. This hasn't really changed in years aka since sccm 2007 so if you found something, it will work.

It sound like you have duplicate guids, and everything will keep updating the one computer. if you need to confirm and fix all of the computers to remove the duplicate guid. This generally happens when imaging is not correctly syspreped.

There is nothing built-in for this a quick bing search will show you how to do this via powershell.

Make sure that you setup IP Ranges only. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/servers/deploy/configure/boundaries

Based on your short log snitit, the client installed collect. You problem is likely the boundaries are setup incorrectly.

Exactly what changes have you made recently to your CM environment?

You don't need four primaries just because you have four sites. You might need remote DPs, but definitely not site.

For 2000 computers, you only require a single primary site. Having multiple primary in no way helps with reporting. Having 4 primary with a CAS is a HUGE overhead and will have LOTS of problems and require a big team to manage.

There is no way the IBM has created SW that is only used for the personal market. I would call "Bull" on that statement and push them again. Otherwise have you company drop it as it is NOT enterprise software and therefore should NOT be used within a Enterprise.

Let start with do you have over 150,000 computers? aka why have a CAS at all? This is begging for trouble.

First off you only need a CAS if you have over 150000 computers. having one otherwise will cause you lots of problems As such, take the time to move the cas if you don't ahve 150,000 computers. Secondly the CM client installed correctly, you can see that from the ccm.log. Lastly ccmsetup.log does seem like it has finished yet.
