​Reviving a topic from the dead... My powers of search-fu have failed me. Can I get a reminder on how to add an additional user under "Administration \ Overview \ Security \ Accounts" ? it's been a little more than 2 years since I ventured down the path of SCCM in our environment.

I'm having a devil of a time trying to find the right search-fu to get an answer to this question. We have WSUS enabled, and I have a software update group with updates deployed. The overwhelming majority of machines have installed these updates, however, I have a handful of machines that show "Required" under the Software Update Group. How do I identify these machines? I have attached a snip that hopefully will explain what I'm so terrible at describing. thanks for your help!

that is AWESOME! let's say that the detection fails, how do I kick off the install for .net 4.5? (again, I'm sorry for the hand-holding. as soon as I'm able to wrap my head around this, I'll be off to the races)

First, let me be frank - I'm pretty new to SCCM, and I'm trying to learn as fast as I can. I have a need to install the DWG TrueView application, and one of the prerequisites is .net 4.5. I have an idea that SCCM can discover whether a prerequisite is currently installed, but I do not know how to accomplish this task. So far, I have created a package for .net 4.5, which installs .net 4.5.1 and suppresses reboots. I followed the instructions here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee390831(v=vs.110).aspx to the letter. I found the full, offline installer for .net 4.5 (NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe) and renamed it to match the technet article. Following the instructions, I distributed the content, but did not deploy the package, as I do not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry installing this package. I had somoene yesterday install *every single package* from SCCM yesterday, but that's a story for another day. Now that the .net installer is in SCCM, I created a simple batch script which calls the DWG TrueView setup file and run a silent install. So far, each machine I've looked at already has the full .net 4.5 framework installed, but I cannot guarantee that this will always be the case. How do I figure out if .net 4.5 is already installed or not? Is this something that Orchestrator can do for me? thank you for your help! --jeff

PM sent. fair warning: I feel pretty certain that there are better, more efficient ways to get this task accomplished. This script works, and it works 100% of the time. por fueg0

We have a deployment for SQLDeveloper. I call a batch script that runs robocopy and copies all files over to c:\SqlDeveloper If you want to see the script, let me know.

Where can I find 'best practices' when it comes to licensed software? Certain individuals within our organization like to specify which license needs to be applied to certain software installs (Adobe Acrobat, Visio, Project, etc.) The folks who delegate which license is applied to which software installation are in a separate group from those who are building, deploying and using SCCM. What are my options when it comes to licensing software this way? Should we treat this as an opportunity to change the way in which we purchase software? Is there a way in SCCM to specify which license gets applied to a particular licensed software? I'm looking for options at this point. I don't know which will be the path of least resistance. Industry standards would be my preference at this point. thanks for your guidance, --Jeff
