First off why would you use SW inventory, it is useless. https://www.enhansoft.com/blog/configuration-manager-and-software-inventory-proceed-with-caution https://www.enhansoft.com/blog/how-do-you-determine-the-length-of-a-software-inventory-scan-cycle https://www.enhansoft.com/blog/slow-software-inventory-cycle-in-sccm-2012 Secondly the log on your mp is mp_sinv.log for SW inv. Thirdly, I would pick one problem and work only on it. IMO I would worry about your HW inv far more than SDW inv.

There is no trick to this, install the CM client on those computers. Why wouldn't you use the Site server computer account to push the CM client? It is far more secure that an user account.

On what page are you talking about?

Don't forget to force another full HW inventory.

The Max MIF size is solved by this blog post. https://www.enhansoft.com/blog/change-the-maximum-file-size-of-management-information-files-mif-in-sccm-2012

Personally I would avoid HTTPS, too many issue with too little gain. If you have a CAS you MUST set the RBA permissions. Primary site are NOT security boundaries! What happens on one primary WILL affect what happens at another. Even if you have a single primary you will need to set RBA permissions. CMCB comes with it own SQL licenses that can ONLY be used for CMCB (and related products, WSUS, MDT, etc.). So... jamming all of the SC product onto one server is a bad idea and it not for because of licensing reasons. Have a CAS and Primary on one cluster is a bad idea and might not ever work. Due to the Services that MUST be installed by each site server. Just so that you know there is no product called CM16, it call CMCB. What have an MP? There isn't a lot of content come and going from MPs. I hate to say it but I'm starting to think you should hire a consultant with experience to help with this design.

No setting up another SUP will not help you with new SU. You can only have one AI point and you only one on FSP. Are you going with HTTPS? if not why have an FSP anyways? Why have a RP on a primary server? Generally it is recommend to have SQL local to CM. So exactly what version of CM are you going to installed? Why have Secondary site at all?

And how exactly will you be able to maintain patching when the CAS is down? Once The CAS is down, no new SU can be deployed. A CAS will not help with DR. if anything it will cause you more headache. What you should be looking at is your backup strategy. Where SQL is installed and How long it will take you to rebuild CM12. (Which BTW, why are you not moving to CMCB instead of CM12?), Are you using Physical or Virtual computers? etc. Fine your SLA for everything, It your SLA reasonable, most places the SLA is not reasonable.

That is why you have one Primary and setup RBA to restrict access. Primary sites are NOT security boundaries. You are BEGGING for problems with a CAS.

You don't know the size of the download, there are too many variables. The full vs delta, if I remember right are listed within the logs. There are the normal Win7 SU logs.

So that looks like it was successfully sent to the MP. What is the problem what that?

The first tiem a Client scans for SU there is a fairly large download from the SUP. After that it is Delta downloads.

So you have over 150,000 computers? If not then why have a CAS?

What about my other question? This log is from today so it doesn't help with the comparison between the two logs.

Yes you do have yo pay for this. It is a new version.

Since you can't see the time and date within the first log it is hard to determine if the second log cover the same time period. Ignore that for now, can you see within Resource Explorer under the Workstation Status that the date and time has been updated to today?

It is unclear to me, Did you force a full HW inventory? Was the report successful sent to the MP? Did you see the details within the ccmmessaging.log?

For server 98% is realistic after 1 week but it does mean a bit of work. Setting MW, Sizing the MW right, How often you have MW, etc. BTW, 100% for servers is realistic. For WS 98% is UNREALISTIC even after a week. Hitting 90% is GREAT. But to hit higher %, you need to spend $$$s to get things like WOL. Before getting into this, I would do two things. 1) Set expectations. What is realistic, in terms of results? How much $$s is management willing to spend to bring the % up by 1%? 2) Define, exactly what you are measuring. Is it all SU? Is it just the SU that you are deploying? What is your process to decommission PCs? How do you handle PC where the owner is away on holidays? How exactly are you measuring the results? How exactly are your reporting on the results? This blog post will help you a bit with what you need to do. https://www.enhansoft.com/blog/how-to-perform-a-software-update-audit

BTW, I filled a bug on this today, you can vote for it here. https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/feedbackdetail/view/3136762/mvp-hardware-01a-summary-of-computers-in-a-specific-collection

in a nutshell it is a bug, I reviewed the SQL query and if your computer doesn't have an OS (which it should), it will not be listed within the results. I will submit a bug tot eh product team about this but it will take a while for them to fix it. In the mean, Since you should have an OS listed for this computer I would force a full Hardware inventory on this computer to see if that get the OS listed on that computer. Here are a few methods to do that. https://www.enhansoft.com/?s=full+inventory

Within the CM console, confirm that the computer in question (152) has an Operating System node within Resource Explorer and it populated with details.

Post a screenshot of the computer as it is listed within the collection. Then post a second screenshot of the report where the computer should be listed.

Did you ask the original query write ,why you are having problems? AKA why post it here, instead of ask the original person? Why didn't you post a link to the other post?

Does the Computer have the CMCB agent installed and active within the CMCB console?
