  3. SCCM SPOTIFY Installed Computers

    in Reports

    Posted

    I see that you posted this everywhere. 

    To be honest with you, I would not recommend using SW inventory to do this. Particularly without defining a path for the exe. 

    Here are several blog on the topic.

    Just be aware that even if you are scanning just two files. Like I show in this blog. https://www.enhansoft.com/how-do-you-determine-the-length-of-a-software-inventory-scan-cycle/ it can take about an hour or longer to complete.

    Heck in this blog it took over 4 hours https://www.enhansoft.com/slow-software-inventory-cycle-in-sccm-2012/ SW inventory now is a low priority process and can take days to complete as just about everythign preempt it. While SW inv is running it will BLOCK both Hardware Inventory and Heartbeat discovery from running. 

    Honestly if you goal is to uninstall this SW, then I would use a CI to do this as it will happen a lot faster than SW inventory. You can even use the remediation part of a CI to uninstall the SW. You can even use Appblocker to prevent the software for installing/running in the first place too.

    Hi All, 

    Sorry if this is has already been discussed,

    I look after a global SCCM Environment, 1 CAS Server, 2 Primary Sites and 40+ Distribution Points.

    OSD:

    Some of our clients in the US are unable to retrieve policy due to a Time Sync with the primary site.

    SMSTS.log on an affected client states the following:

    Failed to get Client Identity (80072ee2)

    SyncTimeWithMP() failed 80072ee2

    Failed to get time information from MP: http:\\xxxxxxxxxxxx 

    The US Primary Site is set to UTC Eastern Time -05:00. Clients with timezone UTC Pacific Time -08:00 seem to be affected.

    How can i support both timezones?

     

    Thanks

    Matt

    80072ee2 = timeout

    This is almost always a firewall / network issues.

    My thing with the SCCM interface is that customers like pretty things so when they want to see patch data they want to see it in the SCCM interface.

    I would disagree with you. Do you really want to give your management the SCCM console, just to look at reports? No, they would generally want them emailed to them. Reports can be pretty too, you need to take time to make them or find either (free or paid) reports. 

    Don't forget that you will need to update those consoles ever 3-4 months when you update to the latest version of CMCB, this is not a great experience for them.
