  1. First off SW inventory is NOT reliable, you should be using CI for this. 

    Secondly, if your SW inventory runs for more than 4 hours it will NEVER send up update results. Yes is it very common for SW inventory to run for more than 4 hours runtime (not real time).

    Third did you review the inventoryagent.log file to see how long it takes for SW? Did it complete? Are you sure?

    HI I have similar issue,

    1046569919_ProductVALUE.thumb.PNG.334acc57b7bc192c1442e7fa2ff82459.PNG

    When i try to run a report tried to add the value but VALUE of the product Name is not visible. Please find the attachment,

    First off that report doesn't use HW inventory. It use SW inventory. SW inventory is disabled by default as it is useless. https://www.enhansoft.com/sccm-software-inventory/

    Instead use the ARP reports to see what is installed on computers.

    GarthMJ, that WSUS is not my area, it's SysAdmin. I see them with a pen drive with update patches that put inside to update all other servers and workstations...

    I'm DBA and we need to change SQL Server VM with our instances. For example, one instance for that WSUS with SUSDB database and other instance for SCCM instance with also SUSDB database. I want to optimize that environment. I see 2 SUSDB... :( Different instances, but why? Why not just one? That's the idea

    Thanks

    To answer your questions directly about one or two SQL instances for WSUS. Is that it will cause conflicts between the two WSUS Servers if they share a db. Aka if some deploys an software update (SU) on WSUS, it will get installed on CM clients too (outside of CM control).  From the CM standpoint, CM will change that products and classifications existing within WSUS, including declining SU too.  Thereby stopping any WSU deployment of that SU.

    Thanks GarthMJ,

    The only problem if manage 2 WSUS services on the same domain...

    So, for you, what is the best approach? My domain isn't connected to the internet.

    • Forget that WSUS Server and install all updates clients from SCCM Server (WSUS inside)?
    • Maintain that WSUS Server and add SCCM Server as a client for updates?
    • Updates both Server from internet?

    Thanks

    This is very important details that was missing from your first post. 

    How exactly are you updating your existing WSUS server now? 

    Why exactly do you not want to use CM to deploy all SU to all computers? aka why have the second WSUS on the internal network at all?

    So, GarthMJ what will be the issues if I just install WSUS feature in  SCCM Server and then, on WSUS configuration, connect to that same SUSDB database already installed for WSUS server?

     

    This will not be supported and you WILL have problem when you manage WSUS outside of SCCM for non-SCCM computer. 

    There is NO problem having WSUS installed on the CM server with its own clean db.

  6. It is possible, but your error clearly state that you need to contact MS support to solve this issue. If this for a test lab IMO there is no benefit to having a CAS as it just take up resources on your VM server add headache due to replication issues, etc. Those same resources could be used for other links like, clients or remote WSUS or remote SQL, etc. All of which is better use of resources than a CAS.
